Versatile Playing Experience
The Tramontane 118 is a versatile instrument that offers a comfortable and enjoyable playing experience. Its slim auditorium body shape and unique cutaway design allow for unrestricted access to the upper frets, whilst the neck profile is slim and easy to navigate. And thanks to its low and smooth string action, strumming and fingerpicking are both a breeze. Additionally, the intonation is spot-on, ensuring that every note sounds clear and accurate across the entire fingerboard. The fret size is just right, striking a balance between being comfortable for chords and precise for intricate arpeggios and solos. This guitar is well-suited for beginners, intermediate players, and more seasoned musicians looking for an instrument with optimal playability.
Beautiful acoustic sound
A guitar's tonal quality is one of the most important aspects of its sound, and the combination of a solid red cedar top, khaya body and neck, and brown brankowood fingerboard and bridge creates a warm and rich tone that is perfect for acoustic music. The solid red cedar top is known for its exceptional warmth and responsiveness, producing a clear and articulate sound with a smooth and balanced tonal character. This type of wood is particularly well-suited for fingerpicking and delicate strumming, and it is often preferred by musicians who play lighter, more intricate styles of music.
The khaya wood, which is used for the body and neck, adds a layer of depth and complexity to the overall sound. Khaya is known for its exceptional resonance and sustain, providing each note played on the guitar a full and robust quality. This material is also very durable, making it an excellent choice for a guitar that will be played frequently. And thanks to the addition of the brown brankowood fingerboard and bridge, your instrument is infused with a touch of elegance and sophistication, while also contributing to its overall sound quality. These materials give the guitar a warm and woody tone that is suitable for a wide range of musical styles, from folk and country to jazz and blues.
