What We Say
Our best selling Tanglewood for a few years now has been the Crossroads series, which are incredible value for money and the only complaint we ever get about them is that they're not exactly flash to look at. The Blackbird solves this problem! It's a similar quality to the Crossroads but a few pounds extra gets you a beautiful looking guitar with a sexy black open pore finish, an attractive rosette and contrasting white top binding. Aside from the black finish it looks very similar to the much or expensive Discovery range, so they seem like a particular bargain at the asking price.
What They Say
Building on the global success of our Crossroads range of instruments, our design team have created a whole new range of guitars, inspired by the cosmetic of 1940/50’s era US instruments with the class leading constructional signature of Michael Sanden and the Tanglewood artisanal team.
Every Blackbird model is carefully braced to provide a tight bottom end bass note and clear rich high spectrum resonance.
We have bound each model in vintage ivory ABS materials to provide the look of Bakelite from the 40’s, and though this won’t affect the sound, it certainly helps give provenance to the historic look our design team wished to capture, and to our mind, they have done a wonderful job.
We have both traditional acoustic models and stage ready electro acoustic versions available, all featuring the outstanding new Tanglewood Premium Plus Eq system as standard equipment.
The rich smoky charcoal stained finish we have christened “Smokestack Black“ and we hope, amongst the range you will be able to choose your own favourite!
