If you Google

Guy Trameleuc

you will get to a Google page. Translate the second site on the page

The translation is poor, but you'll get the message. Please NB that the spelling is

Trameleuc

and possibly a clone could change the thread title to reflect that. There are also some links available on the translated page that may be helpful to p[eople looking for info about the various guitars and the luthier whose name is Guy Trameleuc. The site says he builds fewer than 15 guitars per year. Hope this is of help to y'all.

I have a tramaleuc. I bought it in Champagne Illinois in 1988 while on tour with the musical Big River. I have never been able to find any info till I saw this thread. The guitar is a jumbo acoustic, no pickguard, ebony tailpiece, split ivory bridge, rosewood fingerboard with no markers, quilted maple headstock laminate, solid cedar or dark spruce top (incredible cross-grain, and indian rosewood back and sides (beautifully figured. Satin finish...and incredible tone, big, deep without being too bottom heavy.The body binding is quadruple wood. All in all, this guitar is a stunning piece. The soundhole paper is all in french, I thought it was French Canadian, as it mentions SAGA, though it says St Brieuc France. It was over a grand on the tag, but it was in stock way too long and I got it out the door for 5 hundred witha jumbo Guild hard case thrown in for free. It's the cream of my collection of over 80 acoustic and electric axes. Very rare. If anyone has info, I would appreciate it, especially a PDF of the catalogue. I am at [e-mail] thanks (I am in California).

Hi Guys, I own a Trameleuc, and NedLudd--->Is it possible for you to scan or taking some pictures of the trameleuc brochure you had??? I've made a website on it and i'm actually updating it with new pics and some web links so if you still have this brochure, it would be a great add for this poor and miserable handmade website...

Hi bravebone. Sorry, not the top of the range- the P1 15 is that.Yours is solid top, with veneered rosewood back and sides if my french is any good.
Table de harmonie en Epicia de Sitka, fondset eclisses en palissandre des Indes. Manche en deux parties Acajou du Honduras,touche en Palissandre des Indes, Chevalet en Palissandre des indes.
The P1 15 is solid timber throughout. Still a good looker though!
Ned.

ned ludd,

hi, I'm one of the three people in the US who owns a trameluc and I was hoping someone could tell me about the model PPI-15 as there is zero information here. Is this model the top of the line for Trameleuc? thanks, jeff

Thanks Ned, that's one spelling option I hadn't tried!
I haven't much information on the guitar, a friend of a friend is selling it, although I understand it has had some repair work, I'm told it plays beautifully.
With less well known makers it's hard to know what a fair price is and ultimately I know I will have to trust my ears but it's reassuring to know that I'm not alone in thinking this sounds like a bargain.

I've probably mis-spelt the name but does anyone have any information or knowledge of these French-made guitars?
I played one some years ago and was very impressed, I remember comparing it favourably to a Lowden. Now I've been offered one at a good price (£200) and I'm tempted to go and see it but I thought I'd do some research first.
I can't find anything on Google despite several spelling attempts, so if anyone is familiar with them I'd be grateful for another opinion.
