Tanglewood has launched a new guitar line called the Sundance Performance Pro series – designed by Swedish luthier Michael Sanden.
The new range of six handcrafted models boasts all-solid wood combinations in a variety of acoustic body shapes. First to market will be the heritage inspired Dreadnought X15 at £699, two Superfolk cutaway models at £799 in the X45AVE and X45E, finishing with the all-solid Mahogany X47E.
Each will feature all-solid construction and Custom Master design parallel and fan tapered bracing patterns.
All electro models will feature Fishman Presys Plus electronic systems. The range and tone of the final two X70TE and X15SDTE models are enhanced by Torrefied tops – a drying process that helps replicate the sound of a vintage instrument..
“The wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable, it’s as if the wood is pre-aged,” explained designer Michael Sanden. “It looks and sounds like wood that’s been broken in for many years.”
All models will be available at specially appointed Tanglewood dealers from 24th February 2017.
