Tanglewood TWCR SFCE Crossroads Acoustic Guitar – Whiskey Barrel Burst

Crossroads series

Taking their cue from heritage models of the 1930s, Tanglewood sought to recreate the stripped back-style of those early guitars whilst upholding their resilient build, and hearty energy. Designed in collaboration with luthier Michael Sanden (who crafted Tanglewood’s Masterdesign series), the Crossroads’ series adheres to very simple principles that involve sourcing the finest materials, sparing no expense down to the finest detail, and ensuring that each and every guitar is worthy of the Tanglewood name.

Super Folk body shape

The Tanglewood TWCR SFCE is shaped to the Super Folk body profile, which sits slightly smaller in size when compared to a dreadnought. The shallower body depth and reduced proportions make it more comfortable to play for younger players and those with a shorter reach. The single-cutaway enables your fretting hand to reach the upper frets with ease. As noted above, if you’re solo performer, the super folk is ideal to perform with thanks to its focused upper mid-range timbre.

The top is crafted using hand-selected genuine mahogany, which is paired with mahogany back and sides, resulting in a rich timbre that is infused with a warm character. As noted above, Sanden’s unique bracing pattern allows the soundboard to resonate freely, whilst preventing unwanted buckling or warping over time.

Neck and fingerboard

Fitted to the body is a solid and durable mahogany neck, which is shaped to a unique profile to facilitate comfort alongside stability. Married to the neck is a rosewood fingerboard, which is home 20-frets that are adorned with dot position inlays. The fingerboard ensures smooth transitions between frets, making it delightfully comfortable to perform on, as well as adding to the stunning overall finish.

Hardware and Finish

The body is home to a rosewood bridge, which matches elegance with stability to ensure a solid anchor point for the strings. Thanks to the superb partnership of hardware and construction across the guitar, intonation and sustain is optimised for peerless performance at this price range. Chrome die-cast tuning machines uphold tuning integrity dutifully throughout the most enthusiastic of performances. Another unique touch is the Whiskey Barrel Burst Satin finish, created exclusively for the Crossroads series of models.

Electronics

The Tanglewood TWCR SFCE is equipped with the Tanglewood TW-EX4 EQ system, which is a pickup and preamp partnership that translates the timbre of the parlour to perfection. The system has a 4-band EQ with slider tone controls for bass, mid, treble, and presence, along with a separate volume control dial. The TW-EX4 allows you to sculpt and shape your output to meet your personal preference, as well as suit your performance environment. There is also a built-in chromatic tuner, so you can keep on top of your strings’ tuning throughout each and every performance.
