Lag Tramontane T-Red ACE Ltd - red burst

The LAG Tramontane Limited Edition T-Red ACE steel-string acoustic guitar is a cutaway Auditorium featuring a solid Red Cedar top, a laminated Khaya back/side/neck trio and a Brownwood* fingerboard. It's full of quality, with superb warm, rich and dynamic tones, and undeniable playing comfort.

Khaya is a wood from the African rainforests which, despite similar aesthetics and characteristics, does not belong to the mahogany species. Prized for its stability, luthiers consider it to be acoustically very close to Honduran mahogany. The BrankoWood is the invention of Australian scientist Branko Hermescee. It took him two decades to develop a revolutionary process endorsed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). BrankoWood is made from short-cycle New Zealand pine. The wood is first dried to bring its moisture content down to 10%, then impregnated with catalysts and pigments in pressurized vats, followed by a second drying phase to bring its moisture content down to 2 or 3%, before a second pressurized impregnation, this time with resin.
The 3rd phase consists in compressing the material to lose up to 40% of its mass and densify it. Depending on the degree of compression, the result is Pale BrankoWood (Spruce equivalent), Brown BrankoWood (Rosewood equivalent) or Black BrankoWood (Ebony equivalent). Last phase: fine sanding for perfect appearance and contact.
