Tanglewood TW40OANE Historic Folk Solid Spruce Top Mahogany

The top of the TW40 O AN E is constructed from solid spruce, a choice tonewood that imparts a bright and resonant sound. The solid spruce top lends clarity and projection to the guitar’s tones, making it an ideal choice for fingerpicking, strumming, or flatpicking. This choice of wood is also known for its ability to age gracefully, improving in tone and character over time as it matures with the player.

The back and sides of the TW40 O AN E are crafted from mahogany, a wood prized for its warm and woody tone. Mahogany adds depth and warmth to the guitar’s sound, balancing the brightness of the spruce top. This tonewood combination results in a harmonically rich and well-rounded tonal profile, ideal for both intricate fingerstyle playing and powerful strumming.

One of the standout features of the TW40 O AN E is its Fishman Presys EQ system. This onboard electronics system enables the guitar to be plugged into an amplifier or PA system, allowing you to project your music in a live performance or recording setting. The Fishman Presys EQ system offers precise control over your sound, with features like a three-band EQ, phase control, a built-in tuner, and a digital display for easy adjustments.

The guitar’s design evokes a sense of nostalgia, with vintage-inspired details such as a classic “Antique Natural” finish, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also allows the wood’s natural grain to shine through. The guitar also features elegant binding and rosette details, enhancing its visual charm.
