OVERVIEW OF THE LAG TRAMONTANE 218 T218ACE

The Tramontane 218 T218ACE is an electrified acoustic guitar built with a classic and popular wood combination: Spruce and Rosewood. The solid Engelmann Spruce soundboard provides a rich and articulate response, offering clarity, harmonic complexity, and dynamic sensitivity, even at low volumes. Aesthetically, its light grain contrasts with the darker woods, creating a pleasing match. The Indian Rosewood used for the back and sides adds warmth, depth, and projection, reinforcing the lows and enhancing overall sustain and tonal richness. Together, these two woods create a versatile and expressive sound that matches the balance of the Auditorium format. This shape is designed to increase comfort during playing and to provide tonal balance. The more compact dimensions offer articulation and control, making this guitar an ideal choice for fingerstyle, light strumming, and other versatile applications. The Stage-Lag preamp features a three-band EQ with an additional Mid. Freq. control that allows you to select the frequencies on which the Middle control acts. It also includes a volume control, a tuner, a button to reverse the phase, and a Notch knob that helps manage feedback.

True to the Tramontane identity, the T218ACE features the iconic headstock with its typical profile, mirrored in reverse by the bridge. The oval rosette immediately clarifies which Lag series the model belongs to. The slim neck with a satin finish makes it comfortable and smooth to play. The bridge and fretboard are made of BrankoWood, a wood derived from a sustainable production process, treated to make it ready for use and resistant to changes in humidity and temperature: the result is a stable guitar that is minimally affected by environmental changes. The 650 mm scale length and 350 mm radius make it comfortable to play, with an easily adjustable setup thanks to the double-action truss rod. It also features 20 frets in Silver Nickel, a 43 mm Graphite nut, and Satin Black tuning machines. Natural Wood finish with a Glossy coating.
