Spruce & Rosewood: a Perfect Match

Built around the classic and highly respected spruce/rosewood tonewood pairing, the Tramontane T218DCE combines tonal balance with visual elegance. The solid Engelmann spruce top is prized for its rich, articulate response, delivering excellent clarity, harmonic complexity and dynamic sensitivity, even at low volumes. Visually, its light grain contrasts beautifully with the darker body woods.

Indian rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth and powerful projection, reinforcing the low end while enhancing sustain and overall tonal richness. Together, these two tonewoods create a versatile and expressive sound, perfectly suited to the Dreadnought format.

Power and Projection – Dreadnought Body

With its Dreadnought body shape, the Tramontane T218DCE delivers a bold, full-bodied acoustic sound with strong projection and a solid low end. Designed for strumming, accompaniment and ensemble playing, it offers impressive volume and presence while retaining clarity and definition.

For players seeking a more compact body shape and a more balanced tonal response, the Tramontane 218 series is also available in an Auditorium version: the T218ACE.

Designed for the Stage

The Tramontane T218DCE is a true stage-ready electro-acoustic guitar, equipped with the STAGE LÂG preamp system. It features a comprehensive three-band EQ with parametric midrange for precise tone shaping, an onboard tuner, phase inversion and a notch filter to effectively control feedback in live situations.

Its cutaway design ensures easy access to the upper frets, making the T218DCE perfectly suited for live performance, studio recording and amplified playing in any environment.

The LÂG Tramontane Design

Faithful to the Tramontane identity, the T218DCE features the iconic LÂG headstock and bridge design, along with the distinctive oval rosette that defines the range. Its slim, satin-finished neck ensures smooth playability and long-term comfort for all playing styles.

Combining premium tonewoods, reliable electronics and refined design, the Tramontane T218DCE offers an excellent balance of performance, aesthetics and value, reinforcing its position as a reference electro-acoustic Dreadnought guitar.
