Tanglewood TWBBSDE Blackbird Dreadnought Electro Acoustic Guitar - Smokestack Black Satin

After establishing a winning style with their brilliant Crossroads range, Tanglewood has branched out in a similar direction with their newest range - the fantastic Blackbird series. This great range of acoustics and electro-acoustics have been co-created by acclaimed luthier Michael Sanden and the Tanglewood Artisanal Team - a match made in heaven.

The TWBBSDE Blackbird Dreadnought Electro Acoustic Guitar is full to the brim with vintage ‘40s and ‘50s character and a great deal of attention has been paid to achieving the authentic look of US guitars of that era. It’s dreadnought dimensions give it a rich, resonant low-end, but one which is focused, tight and bright. Carefully constructed bracing enhances bottom-end resonance and adds an extra level of clarity to the TWBBSDE’s highs.

This Blackbirds sweet musicality can be honed and controlled thanks to the addition of Tanglewood’s Premium Plus Eq system, a preamp and pickup combo that does an amazing job of capturing this guitar's beautiful natural sound and optimising it before it sends a signal for amplification. Vintage ivory ABS accurately simulates the look of Bakelite for an authentic ‘40s-style vibe and the all-new  “Smokestack Black“ finish gives this guitar a smoky, charcoal-stained blues-house charm.
