Tanglewood TW15 NS

Budget around 400. Pure acoustic, solid top, satin-matt varnish, mechanical chrome oil bath, no collar that vibrates, beautiful finish, UK, no cutaway to the game should sit or stand with strap. It goes a little strong silent originally as so often in out of production. But there is no need to increase "artificially" a power and a balance that I found today.

UTILIZATION

The handle silent home a little paunchy, but APRS rglage a luthier, trs nice and easy to play. Her shapely rear and finesse make an enjoyable round.
This is a scratch around 400 with a power, a sound and a terrible balance.

SOUNDS

Pop-rock, ballads, blues, folk and rock with distortion, it takes all.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been ending for two years and bought Pigalle APRS moultes moultes tests. Excellent Qt-price around 400.

I made him add a dual-band microwave without piercing the ass Clisse (about 180), it's conseve potato and amplifies its purity or not. APRS luthier who set up the microphone (He did not know the guitar) I Submitted the equivalent of an electro 1100 1300 ... The pros say it's not good. Without being a great guitarist, I trusted my instinct and if c'tait again, I would take it on my lap today but I am not objective, I'm in love.

Fully massive, it's rare at this price.

UTILIZATION

Very comfortable to play, it is light enough (the "mass" are often lighter than the "rolled", multilayer, and thicker). The handle is very nice.

SOUNDS

Level and his musicality is the big surprise. Frustrated for good guitar, it is better than a consolation, a better alternative ... It really sounds (it has everything a large). A beautiful sound invigorating and fulfilling ... At this price, it is heartening!

OVERALL OPINION

But ... it is not for me is my son who benefits. For a first guitar ... How lucky! After ten trials is the choice!

Tanglewood is a British brand, but this model TW15-NS, is manufactured in China, what I've read. There is nothing stated on the guitar, but it seems plausible considering the price.
The guitar is made of solid wood, head, neck, back - Mahogany sides and spruce top. Rosewood.

Grover.

Satin finish varnish very fine and soft to the touch, the finish is just perfect, the guitar is beautiful (natural finish).

The neck is quite flat, very different from my Ovation (handle, rather V).

Price: 539 € in stores (490 € on dv247).

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, the satin finish gives a soft feel. I stay for hours without cramping.


SOUNDS

I play mainly in fingers, I've chosen to shine and crystal clear highs and powerful bass and very present.

She exudes a sacred sound power if we attack hard.

Compared to the Tanglewood TW28 (range below 300 €) has a fuller sound, more bass and a feeling of more safe.

I've never played a high-end models, except for a Martin D15 (all mahogany). It is of course totally different because the choice of wood.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for several hours, but I played without interruption.

Beautiful feeling with this one, need gaming fingers through his power, his sharp bright and crystalline, and its very low round present.

This is the best of those I tried, for my taste.

I love the sound, the neck and the satin feel of the guitar, for cons, it must take the pet 'easily because of the fineness of the polish. Too bad!

less than 500 € on the net, very good value for money then!
