A Tramontane Series 118 Designed for Versatility
Within the Tramontane range, the Series 118 focuses on serious and musical lutherie, featuring a solid top and tonewoods known for their stability. This T118D-BRS stands out with its glossy Brown Shadow finish and the choice of the dreadnought format, appreciated for its power and "all-terrain" character: it can fill a room acoustically while remaining precise when pushing the attack.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The T118D-BRS is aimed at demanding beginners seeking real room for progress, as well as intermediate players looking for a reliable and inspiring folk guitar. Its dreadnought format and balance make it an excellent companion for pop, folk, variety, acoustic rock, and energetic strumming, while remaining comfortable for fingerpicking thanks to the responsiveness of cedar.
Sound
The solid red cedar soundboard delivers a warm signature, with a soft attack and rich midrange, very pleasant for open chords and singing rhythms. The khaya back and sides contribute to a balanced and stable response, maintaining definition even when played loudly. The dreadnought format enhances projection and low-end foundation while preserving good note-to-note clarity. Factory-strung with coated phosphor bronze light steel strings 12-52, it combines controlled brightness, playing comfort, and durability.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, opt for a set of light gauge 12-52 steel acoustic folk strings, ideal for this scale length and body type.
