DISC Tanglewood TSFCEXB Evolution Super Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar

Full Description

Bubinga Body

The Tanglewood Evolution features a body crafted from bubinga, producing bright mid-range emphasis, swelling overtones, sparkling highs, and offers great sustain and clarity. Bubinga is slight denser than Indian rosewood which contributes to the general sparkle across the melodic spectrum. The bubinga body projects its own unique tone and has been described an one of the most underrated tonewoods known to date. Bubinga's tone lies somewhere between mahogany and rosewood, delivering different qualities from each tonewood into one wood, Bubinga. The Evolution will project warmth, bright note articulation, and will bring depth to the overall tone. Featuring a natural gloss finish to protect the bubinga body and to add subtle glisten to each performance.

Mahogany Neck Topped With Rosewood Fingerboard

The mahogany neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a warm, bright, and sparkly tone that really shines through when using finger picking techniques. The reason why many guitar necks are made from mahogany is because the wood responds greatly to picking, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease. The rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing experience and enables players to easily explore with finger-picking techniques, making it ideal for folk genres. The Evolution is finished in natural gloss to provide a smooth playability and stunning appearance.

Tanglewood's SUPER FOLK Body

The Tanglewood Evolution features one of Tanglewood's most iconic body shapes, the Super Folk. Tanglewood began by shaping the guitar to specs of the modern industry for great playability, we now have the well-crafted super folk cutaway. The shape was first introduced over 25 years ago on their award winning TW45 Sundance Pro guitar. The super folk cutaway body has become a must have among folk players because it's a bigger version of traditional folk guitars, offering more volume and tone, in a comfortable shape. The cutaway design enables players to reach more challenging chords with ease. The super folk can handle many genres with equal ease, and will cut through a live mix greatly. The Evolution is especially perfect for those who specialise in the folk genre.

Tanglewood Chromatic Tuner & Preamp

The Tanglewood Evolution is stage ready and equipped with the sophisticated B-Band M-450T preamp featuring chromatic tuner. The M-450T features 4-band EQ which includes, slider tone controls for bass, mid, treble, and presence. Including separate volume control and the convenience of on on-board chromatic tuner, that provides exact note tuning precision and the perfect preamp for the gigging guitarist.
