Tanglewood TC2

The TC2 features a unique travel body shape, meticulously engineered to provide maximum comfort and convenience without sacrificing tone. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to take on the go, whether you’re heading to a gig, embarking on a road trip, or simply practicing in the comfort of your own home.

At the core of the TC2 lies its top, expertly crafted from mahogany wood. Known for its warm and resonant tonal characteristics, mahogany infuses the guitar with a rich, balanced sound that’s perfect for a variety of musical styles. Whether you’re strumming chords or fingerpicking melodies, the mahogany top delivers exceptional clarity and depth, ensuring that every note rings out with precision and clarity.

Complementing the mahogany top are the back and sides, also constructed from premium mahogany wood. This choice of tonewood enhances the guitar’s overall resonance and sustain, adding warmth and depth to its sound. The mahogany back and sides also contribute to the instrument’s visual appeal, with its sleek finish and distinctive grain patterns adding a touch of elegance to its aesthetic.

More information about Tanglewoods Crossroads Series

The Crossroads series pays homage to the style and sound of classic instruments from 1930’s America. The 30’s were a time of hardship all across the USA with the Great Depression bringing communities to their knees and the strife and pain of poverty and famine recorded in journals and diaries and of course in song, all across the country. Some of what are now regarded as the finest and most influential musicians in the world created a rhythmic sound during those years and sang of their troubles, a sound we now think of as the blues.

The guitars used to play this music weren’t fancy, or ornately decorated or adorned with expensive lacquers, they were straightforward and functional, but in a lot of cases these instruments were still quite precisely engineered for the day. With a really significant cost to the musician in those days it meant that guitars of this era had to play well and last a long time, often to be passed on through family generations.

To create an instrument that evokes these traditional values, so often overlooked in our modern society, we at Tanglewood had to commission the services of a very special luthier, none other than Michael Sanden, the man behind Tanglewood Masterdesign. Michael is the creator of the Sanden Guitar company in Sweden, and now the chief design consultant for Tanglewood Guitars.
