General

While you could of course tote a full-size dreadnought, you might as well make life a little easier with this slightly more compact Tramontane Travel-RCE from Lâg Guitars. Here, RC stands for red cedar, a type of tonewood that's known for shaping an especially warm, focused sound that finger-pickers in particular are bound to appreciate. Since the solid top of the Travel-RCE is made of red cedar and comes supported by a mahogany back and sides, this acoustic guitar is undeniably built for delivering a rich foundation sound.

The Tramontane Escapade Travel-RCE: Pure Playing Performance

The 'E' in the model name hints at the guitar's electro-acoustic design, which means that the Tramontane Travel-RCE features a Micro-LÂG preamp with a 2-band EQ and a built-in tuning device. Also, to reduce the distance between the string nut and the bridge saddle, Lâg Guitars have blessed the guitar with a 615mm scale length instead of the standard 650mm which, combined with a standard 43mm nut, makes sure players are offered maximum playing ease without losing out on any playability. Small but by no means unimportant details like the signature design of soundhole rosette and matte-black hardware mark the finishing touches of this stunning, road-ready guitar which even comes complete with a gig bag.
