Lag Tramontane T88D - naturel

Following in the footsteps of Maurice Dupont's multi-award-winning T80, the LAG Tramontane T88D is a Dreadnought-style steel-string acoustic guitar with a solid Engelmann spruce top, laminated Khaya (a tropical wood belonging to the mahogany family) back/side/neck and Brownwood fingerboard. Englemann is a top-quality spruce. Less dense and paler than Sitka or Adirondack, it generates a noticeably more present midrange, a softer attack and remarkable clarity, helping to give the guitar a more vintage sound. Brownwood is an ideal substitute for Rosewood, derived from short-cycle pines from New Zealand. 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.
Last phase: fine sanding for perfect appearance and contact.
