Lâg Tramontane T170A Auditorium

A Redesigned Tramontane: The T170 at the Heart of the Range

Within the Tramontane series, the T170A holds a strategic position: that of a "mid-range" model benefiting from a modernized design. Lâg regularly updates its acoustic guitars to improve comfort and musicality, and this generation marks an important step with a redesigned bracing validated after multiple tests. This lutherie approach aims for a clear goal: to offer a guitar that is more enjoyable to play, more balanced, and more inspiring, while maintaining a particularly attractive price point.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

The Lâg Tramontane T170A is aimed at demanding beginners as well as intermediate players who want to advance without changing their musical world. Its Auditorium format, more compact than a dreadnought, promotes comfort when seated and precision in playing. It is particularly well-suited for fingerstyle, acoustic pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, but retains enough body for clean and dynamic rhythm playing.

Sound Characteristics

The combination of a solid red cedar top and khaya back and sides delivers a warm sonic identity, with pronounced mids and a soft attack, very pleasant for nuanced touch. The solid cedar provides immediate response and rich harmonics, while khaya (African mahogany) enhances the coherence of the spectrum with well-controlled lows and natural projection. The redesigned bracing contributes to the balance between bass and treble, resulting in a guitar that remains clear in both chords and arpeggios, with comfortable sustain and dynamics that are easy to control.
