LAG Tramontane T70DCE Natural Satin elektroakustisk guitar

Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar With Stage-Ready Electronics

The LAG Tramontane T70DCE brings the warm, full-bodied voice of a classic dreadnought to players who also need reliable plugged-in performance. Built around a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Sapele back and sides, this cutaway electro-acoustic delivers the dynamic, resonant tone that has made the dreadnought shape a stage staple. A satin finish keeps the body light and resonant, while the integrated DirectLag preamp ensures the same tonal character translates faithfully through an amplifier or PA. This model is a focused solution for guitarists covering songwriting, worship duties, and bar-gig amplification.

What Sets the T70DCE Apart in Its Class

The Tramontane T70DCE stands out through its use of Brown Brankowood for both fingerboard and bridge — a high-density composite derived from short-cycle New Zealand pines, processed through impregnation and compression stages to deliver the tonal density of rosewood. The DirectLag GT2 preamp adds a phase-reverse switch alongside the standard 3-band EQ, allowing players to combat feedback on stage.

Solid Tonewoods for a Resonant Dreadnought Voice

The body is the acoustic heart of any dreadnought, and this model pairs a solid top with laminate back and sides to balance resonance, weight, and affordability. Sitka spruce offers broad dynamic range and strong projection, while Sapele brings focused midrange and clear note separation under heavy strumming.

• Solid Sitka spruce provides a broad dynamic range and strong projection across the entire frequency spectrum.
• Back & Sides: Sapele — focused midrange
• Finish: Satin — thin coating that lets the top vibrate freely

Comfortable Neck Profile for Long Playing Sessions

An Okoume neck with a slim, almost electric-guitar-friendly profile makes this dreadnought approachable for players who usually reach for a solidbody. The 43 mm nut width offers enough room for fingerstyle without feeling wide, and the 20-fret Brown Brankowood fingerboard keeps lead lines smooth across the cutaway's upper register.

• Neck Material: Okoume — lightweight and stable
• Fingerboard: Brown Brankowood — dense, durable, and tonally consistent across the entire 20-fret register
• Scale Length: 650 mm — standard dreadnought tension

DirectLag Preamp System for Stage and Studio

The onboard DirectLag preamp is the defining feature of this electro-acoustic, giving players full control over amplified tone without external pedals. A built-in tuner keeps setups fast between songs, while the phase switch helps tame low-end feedback in louder stage environments. Die-cast tuning machines with an 18:1 ratio hold tuning reliably through long sets.

• The DirectLag system includes a 3-band EQ, volume, tuner, and phase control for complete onboard tone shaping.
• Controls: Volume, Low, Middle, High, Tuner, Phase — full onboard tone shaping without external pedals
• Tuning Machines: Die-cast, 18:1 ratio — stable tuning

Ideal for Gigging Guitarists, Songwriters, and Advancing Students

The T70DCE is the right choice for working musicians who need a single dreadnought that performs equally well unplugged at home and amplified through a PA. Singer-songwriters benefit from the full-bodied voice that supports vocals without sounding thin, while the slim neck profile and 43 mm nut make it a comfortable step up for intermediate students. Church and worship players will appreciate the onboard tuner and phase switch for fast, feedback-resistant setups between songs.
