Guy Trameleuc is a French luthier who hand-builds a small number of very high quality instruments each year. Most instruments which you find on the market carrying the "G. Trameleuc" name have a label inside stating they were made by SAGA MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS to Guy Trameleuc's specifications. All of the instruments carrying the SAGA label were made in Japan in the late 1980's. They are basically clones of the Lowden variety. I own a PPI -15 (not PP1-15) that I obtained new in exchange for a Fender Strat Plus, which I hated. My Trameleuc sounds great when fingerpicked, but not so sweet when I attack it with a flatpick. The UK guitar magazine "Guitarist" reviewed a couple of the Saga-built instruments round about 1987. I used to have a copy of the article but it's long gone.
