The Raimundo 118 is a classical guitar made in the traditional Spanish method, in which the guitar is built around the troculus, the piece that connects the neck to the guitar's body, and then the sides and top are added. This technique favors the stability and resistance of the instrument.
The Raimundo 118 guitar has a cedar top, and the back and sides are colored sapele. The neck is in samanguila, a wood of African origin very similar to mahogany, and the fingerboard is in rosewood.
The sound is clear and very defined, thanks to the acoustic properties of the woods, which benefit from the material of the saddle and the nut, made of bone, which more faithfully capture the vibrations of the strings, transmitting them to the body with better resonance. The frets are in alpaca.
The sober and classic look of the Raimundo 118 is very pleasant, with the woods standing out under the glossy finish, in a tone that is complemented by the golden tuning machines. The binding is in mansonia, a very resistant wood that offers great stability to the guitar body.
Raimundo has been manufacturing guitars using the classical Spanish method for over 50 years, having received the Certificate of Origin in recognition of its effort to use locally sourced techniques and materials.
The Raimundo 118 is a very competent guitar with an immediately recognizable sound and faithful to the Spanish tradition.
