Tanglewoods Nashville II Series is a range of fine quality, straight forward acoustic guitars, all coming with a free Deluxe fitted hard case.
Recently voted the USA's #1 acoustic guitar in a popular guitar magazine, all are based on the same specifications - Spruce top, Mahogany body and neck, gloss finishes and attractive finishes.
Apart from the TCC8 Classical guitar, all are fundamentally the same, so here goes.
The headstock is square, striaght lines and sharp corners on show, in Mahogany with a heavy gloss finish. The front has Tanglewoods logo in gold script. The back is plain, with 2 rows of unbranded Chrome die-case machine heads.
The necks are pretty slin, the TF8's nut width is 43mm. The back of the neck has a high gloss finish showing the lovely wood grain through. The Rosewood fingerboard is bound in black and has good quality fretwork and a nice tight grain. Small white pearloid dots mark the usual positions.
The Mahogany body and Spruce top (solid on the TD8ST version for better sound quality) have gloss lacquer finishes, with more wood grain on show, very attractive fronts by the way. The back is bound in black plastic, the front in 5 ply white and black.
The fronts have large black scratchplates, Rosewood bridges and simple Abolone soundhole rosettes. All very straightforward stuff, no fancy decorations or frilly bits on these Nashville guitars.
All of them play very nicely, fitted with Elixir strings, which have just about the best reputation in the business, sounds are sweet and charming. The TD8 has a bit more bass, the TF8 a little brighter, the TD8ST a bit more power and volume, the TD8CE can be plugged into an amp, mixing desk or effects pedal. Something here for everyone, and each version comes complete with a fitted hard case for maximum protection.
