LAG Tramontane T70 ACE Electro Acoustic Guitar O w' £225 Custom Pro Setup Package Included

This guitar is in high demand so took a while to arrive. It was beautifully set up to play by the team. Great sounding on its own, but it takes a little time, effort and patience to get used to the effects and fine tune them to personal preference. The Hyvibe app is essential for this. Also it is important to find the right gain setting to suit your playing style. It took a while and some experimentation but now got it just right for me and my style. I love it and find it inspiring to play. Take a little time with it and would highly recommend it.

Was set up perfect i got it few weeks later after the order and emails building up to the set up and checks etc . When it came was packed perfect and guitar played beautiful a little to much bass I thought but its still a beautiful guitar fir the price .

Now im returning to buy online again. This time ive bought a 700 pounds east man waiting to get it home 🏡 thanks Richards guitars

I changed my guitar, a Tanglewood TW15 HE out of necessity. It was a lovely guitar. However, with someone who suffers back issues, I needed to go to a smaller nut width, a 43 mm, to loosen tension in my left hand fingers.

I had in mind a guitar I wanted but it wasn't affordable with my budget. Not having many options for guitar shops in my part of the world, north Notts, I had seen adds and reviews for Richard's Guitars. I contacted them on chat, explained my issues about changing. Whilst they no longer traded in my desired guitar, I spent time chatting through options. LAG Tramontane 118s were mentioned never heard of them!!

Spent time looking at Richard's website at the LAGs and listening to some of the videos, and doing the same through YouTube. The details provided on Richard's website are thorough and give you a great understanding of the guitar. What also helped are the demonstrations and commentary Richard gives on video blogs of guitars.

As a place to consider purchasing your guitar. Well worth the effort to talk through and visit them.

The LAGT118ABCE-BRS that I purchased.

I spent time looking at and hearing various LAGs on videos and reviews of them. Some very interesting guitars on offer. However, in listening to them, I kept coming back to the T118 models. Not that sound quality through the internet is the best, it definitely gave me the impression that I needed to see, play and hear it and which Richard's gave me a range of different brands to compare it too when I went to the store. Being given time to yourself in a space without the comings and goings of other customers and having time to play and compare is definitely a positive experience at Richard's Guitars.

I did hope to see the black T118 but I started to like the look of the Brown Shadow which was the colour provided. The more I played and compared it to the others which included other LAG models, a Sauvage, and a parlor shaped model which I didn't really play much as I already have one in the style, an Eastman dreadnought, and a Washburn (?Jumbo?, which I did like), I eventually decided to go with the LAG, not just because of the nut width, but I also felt the difference with the auditorium size and the dreadnoughts. The auditorium is what I needed. The bevel also is a bonus for me. It was a snug fit.

I purchased it, left the guitar so they could set it up and received it a week later. It is easy to play on my left hand, comfortably snug in my right and the tonal quality is bright and the strings sustain clearly, which I didn't have on the TW15.

In the week or so that I've had it, I'm really glad to have chosen this particular model and in Shadow Brown: internet images don't do it justice.

In all the times that I've purchased a guitar, I've never had the level and quality service given by Richard's Guitars. Thank you to all the staff for making it a pleasurable experiencee to test and buy a guitar.

If you're on a budget, LAG should definitely be on your to try list. It was the first time I've heard of them.

This is also a genuine, personal and non-influenced review.

Blown away by this little beauty which punches well above the price tag.

GREAT GUITAR !!! I AM VERY HAPPY !!! A beautiful, luxurious guitar, very fine workmanship. It is obvious that it was created with a lot of love and professionalism! Thank you very much!

I suffer from Parkinson's disease and needed a guitar I could play that could fit my needs.
Thanks to these guys and many emails and sorting the right instrument, I picked up my new guitar.
And as promised it is awesome with the built-in effects and fits my needs perfectly.
So thank you guys for the time and patience in helping me I really appreciate that..

Just lovely to deal with. Bought a relatively inexpensive guitar from them but they genuinely seemed care and get the the set up spot on..

I bought the guitar via the Internet. I know that's not the recommended way to do things but Lâg guitars have a good reputation, the model I bought sounded good on videos I'd seen and the free setup by Richards Guitars was far too tempting. I ordered it on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday of the following week. It plays beautifully. The tone is nice and rich, it has plenty of sustain and chimes like the church bells. It's made of sustainable wood, and built in an environmentally-friendly way.

Richards Guitars provided excellent service: their communication was faultless. I was asked how I would like the guitar to be set up prior to the work being carried out. It was despatched by DX who delivered it professionally and it arrived right in the centre of the delivery time slot.

I've been very impressed with every aspect of this purchase. Richards Guitars even planted a tree for me and removed a bottle from the ocean! They'd get 6 stars if I could award them. I'm a very happy customer.

Loverly guitar ,very well made ,as I am a beginner it plays loverly

I was lucky enough to receive this guitar as a gift from my girlfriend, it's a beautiful instrument, very comfortable, it feels and sounds amazing, it oozes quality and was perfectly set up by Richard's Guitars. I firmly believe guitars at this price point should include a gig bag, but that is a manufacturer issue. Highly recommended.

Wonderful guitar, looks and sound beautiful. The Hyvib 2 takes it to a whole other level. Cannot recommend this guitar enough, I’ve had several other guitars including Gibson and Cole Clark this Lag is more enjoyable to play and hear than the others. I can’t stop picking it up and playing. Thank you everyone at Richard’s outstanding quality customer service, guitar setup was perfect.

I am delighted with the guitar and set-up. It plays really well.
Thank you very much ! Great communication all the way along too.

Great service as a new beginner choosing a guitar, they selected a range of guitars to try at my leisure not time constraints no pressure they were available to help me choose. I bought a LAG parlour guitar exactly what I wanted.

We were having a few days away in Stratford upon Avon so booked to visit Richard’s guitars. Easy to arrange and fabulous service from start to finish. So Lynn played with some selected guitars and while we did that we had her fender set up correctly as it was only a few months old but Lynn felt it wasn’t right and my god the difference is unbelievable. Where it was going out of tune constantly and had buzz fret It’s brilliant now. While there after trying different guitars we bought a Lag which was again professionally set up and sent to us a week later. Again brilliant service

Lovely guitar that sounds as good as it looks.Your Set up obviously helped .
Thanks for the advice on guitar selection, you got it absolutely right

Initially very pleased with the finish however just recently I had occasion to practice under LED lighting and it was then I discovered a significant amount of very thin scratches / cracking of the lacquer, not quite sure which. If they are scratches it looks like they have been caused by a plectrum and as I don’t use one it has dampened my impression somewhat. I have attempted to take photos but they fail to show the problem.

Only praise as usual for Richard’s Guitars. Great service and always available for any questions. A fantastic guitar, Expertly set up, and reasonably priced. No doubt I’ll definitely back.
