Tanglewood TWCR OE Crossroads Electro Acoustic, Whiskey Burst
The Crossroads series has been inspired by the classic instruments
produced in America during the 1930s. During the economic downfall,
simple undecorated guitars became popular and the wood’s tone was of
upmost importance.
Tanglewood's master designer, Michael Sanden, chose the wood and
measurements to be used on the Crossroad series so that they remain deep
in tone, and affordable in price. The Crossroads range focuses on
having a neck, body and sound that students and professionals alike
agree is even and representative of classic guitar.
All Mahogany Body
The Tanglewood TWCR OE features an all-mahogany body, which offers
durability and delivers incredibly rich distinct warmth. Mahogany also
contains distinct character of soft warmth, but is well balanced with a
bite of its own. The TWCR OE produces a focused, punchy mid-range, thick
well-defined tone, and sings sweet sparkling highs with plenty of
characterised warmth.
Mahogany is used a lot in the acoustic guitar world because it is
relatively economical, durable, attractive, easy to work with, and
resonant. As a top wood, the mahogany offers a natural compression,
creating strong fundamentals with a clear and direct focus. Used as back
and sides panels, the tonewood provides a meaty mid-range, producing
punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please
most playing styles.
Orchestra Body Shape
The Tanglewood Crossroads features an orchestra body shape, which
shares many of the same sonic characteristics to the grand auditorium.
Delivering versatile tones that are well-balanced and suitable for many
different genres and styles of play. The orchestra design provides a
strong lower midrange and an impressive bass response due to its deep
shape.
Tanglewood TW-EX4 Preamp
The Tanglewood TWCR OE comes equipped with Tanglewood's own
preamp/pickup system, the TW-EX4. This setup features a 4-band EQ which
includes slider tone controls for bass, mid, treble, and presence.
