TANGLEWOOD BLACKBIRD SERIES SUPER FOLK ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC GUITAR WITH CUTAWAY

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

Every Blackbird model is carefully braced to provide a tight bottom end bass note and clear rich high spectrum resonance.

We have bound each model in vintage ivory ABS materials to provide the look of Bakelite from the 40’s, and though this won’t affect the sound, it certainly helps give provenance to the historic look our design team wished to capture, and to our mind, they have done a wonderful job.

We 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 we have christened “Smokestack Black“ and we hope, amongst the range you will be able to choose your own favourite!

Tanglewood Guitar Company was established in England in the latter part of the 20th century. Charged with an ambition to create a portfolio of instruments offering exceptional value and playability, Tanglewood utilised innovative design and both traditional and contemporary manufacturing procedures in order to achieve this goal.

Our legendary Tanglewood satin finish has become a staple design signature that is immediately recognisable, however, in the current model line up there are also many high gloss instruments. Tanglewood is also now recognised for our fine Ukulele, Classical, Banjo and Folk Instrument offerings alongside our award winning 6 string acoustic guitars.

Now distributed in over 60 countries globally, winner of the Music Industry UK’s All Time Best Selling Acoustic Guitars award, Tanglewood still push to innovate and add value. Our latest Tiare series, for example, introduces quality instruments crafted from exotic timbers at affordable prices.
