Like an unexpected splash of fresh mountain air, our Range of guitars offer refreshing surprises. The first is the way we describe the Range. We call it a Mini-Jumbo. Well, that is a dichotomy, I hear you say. Let me explain. We took our Jumbo body shape and minied it. Well, Minied isnt even a word, I hear you whisper under your breath. Sure, it is. I just used it. We also added a rounded back to this little guy. What happens when you take a minied jumbo and add a rounded back? BOOM. Incredible tone and larger appearances sound projection. Keep in mind that this guitar has a rarefied, solid African mahogany top. That is going to give you a very distinct sound and a very pleasant tonal range. If you were in the market for a guitar that sounded like a full-size guitar, then you can consider yourself removed from the said market because you just met the Range.

TOP WOOD
African Mahogany is a harder wood than spruce or cedar. Harder woods will have a break-in period where they are brighter when you first get the guitar and, as they are played, they mellow out and you’ll notice more of the deeper tones. Volume levels seem to be on par with spruce tops but with less attack.
BODY SHAPE
The range is a body that is unique to Teton Guitars. We took our Jumbo (which is unique for a jumbo) and made a mini version of it. We call the Range our “Mini-jumbo” guitar. It is a 3/4 guitar that was built to sound like any other full-size guitar. We accomplish this by having solid tops and arched backs on all Range guitars. Together, these elements produce a loud, full sound. The Range is built to be a traveling guitar, but it quickly became a favorite of Teton fans from child to teen to adult and encompassed all playing styles.
