The Tanglewood TW1000 tops the Sundance Pro range of acoustic guitars in what can only be described as excellence when it comes to top end dreadnaughts.
In a dazzling display of the finest components and workmanship, this Deluxe dreadnaught proves that a bit more attention to detail goes a long way when it comes to musical instruments.
You should expect nothing less than all solid materials in a top-notch stringed instrument and here we have some of the finest grade woods available. Solid Rosewood back and sides and an A grade Engelmann Spruce top work in unison to bring the TW1000 to the top of the league for tone and longevity.
This guitar also has the looks to go with it including herringbone Ivory binding, hexagonal Abalone inlays and luxurious gold Grover tuners. The binding carries on up the neck, around the Rosewood fingerboard and face of the headstock with a precision that you simply will not find on lower specification guitars.
The back of the head is carved into a volute giving it a strengthened bulk, whereas the face of the headstock shines in a glossy lacquer with its abalone Tanglewood inlay, the back of the head and neck have a natural satin finish that glows with deep wood tones.
The body of the guitar shines in a hi-gloss finish that brings out the dark Rosewood back and sides, contrasted with the lighter grain Engelmann Spruce top.
The quality components on offer include a bone nut, which works in conjunction with the 3 a side Grover machine heads providing unrivalled tuning accuracy, matched at the other end with a bone saddle at the rosewood bridge.
The frets are all set and dressed to perfection, meaning that notes retain their bright tonal quality right the way across the rosewood fretboard. The tightly grained dark rosewood and silky smooth abalone inlays work together to make the TW1000 a really enjoyable instrument to play.
Rosewood has a distinctly sweet tonal character and this resonates throughout the solid body with sustain and clarity. The TW1000 rises above the rest with precise definition of a whole range of tones from singing treble to deep and ebbing lows.
Action is also silky smooth and there is room for exploring any playing style from strumming arpeggios to thundering chords.
The Tanglewood TW1000 would be a suitable instrument for someone who wants an instrument that has had no details overlooked, and to prove this Tanglewood have equipped it with a set of Elixir strings. This is a dreadnaught acoustic guitar of outstanding quality and it is not afraid to show it off either!
