Tanglewood TW40 SO VSE

The Sundance Historic Series TW40SOVSE is a beautifully crafted acoustic guitar designed for musicians who appreciate vintage aesthetics and exceptional tonal quality. With its Mini Folk body shape, this instrument offers a comfortable playing experience, making it ideal for both fingerstyle players and strummers looking for a balanced sound with a warm, intimate character.

At the heart of its tonal excellence is a solid Sitka spruce top, a sought-after tonewood known for its ability to produce a dynamic range with clarity and responsiveness. This top is paired with mahogany back and sides, which contribute to a rich, warm midrange and a slightly woody resonance that enhances the guitar’s vintage-inspired sound. The combination of these tonewoods ensures a well-rounded voice with excellent projection, making it suitable for both solo performances and ensemble settings.

Enhancing its versatility, the guitar is equipped with a Fishman Presys system, a reliable onboard preamp that delivers natural amplified tones with precise control. This system allows players to shape their sound effortlessly, ensuring that the guitar’s organic acoustic character translates beautifully in live settings or recording environments.

The guitar’s appearance is equally captivating, featuring a vintage sunburst gloss finish that highlights the wood’s natural grain while evoking the charm of classic acoustic instruments. This timeless aesthetic is complemented by high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring that every detail contributes to both its visual appeal and playability.

Designed for musicians who appreciate both heritage and modern functionality, this guitar blends vintage warmth with contemporary reliability. Whether played acoustically or plugged in, it delivers a rich and expressive sound, making it a perfect companion for performers, songwriters, and enthusiasts seeking a beautifully voiced, aesthetically striking instrument.
