Tanglewood Blackbird Dreadnought A/E Guitar

Building on the global success of Tanglewood’s Crossroads range of instruments, their design team have created a whole new range of guitars, inspired by the cosmetic of 1940/50s era US instruments with the class leading constructional signature of Michael Sanden and the Tanglewood artisanal team.

Every Tanglewood Blackbird model is carefully braced to provide a tight bottom end bass note and clear rich high spectrum resonance. Theyhave bound each model in vintage ivory ABS materials to provide the look of Bakelite from the 40s, and though this wont affect the sound, it certainly helps give provenance to the historic look that their design team wished to capture, and to their mind, they have done a wonderful job.

Tanglewood have both traditional acoustic models and stage ready electro acoustic versions available, all featuring the outstanding new Tanglewood Premium Plus Eq system as standard equipment. The rich smoky charcoal stained finish that they have christened Smokestack Black and that they hope, amongst the range you will be able to choose your own favourite!
