Tanglewood Sundance TW60 SC VS
Tanglewood Guitar Company UK has been around since 1991, producing the bestselling brand of acoustic guitars in the UK and Ireland. They’ve only recently begun to market the brand here in the States, so we were curious and excited to take a look at one of their newest offerings from the MasterDesign Series, designed by Swedish luthier Michael Sanden.

Sanden has been building guitars in Sweden for over thirty years, earning a reputation for innovation and beauty, as well as for his signature brilliant tone. The collaboration includes six guitars sporting Sanden’s distinctive “paint brush” bridge and bracing pattern, available in either mahogany or rosewood. The MasterDesign Series guitars are made in China from Sanden’s blueprints, and to his standards. The guitar we received for review is in the rosewood series, a grand auditorium with a Tibetan spruce top, three-piece mahogany neck and bindings, and ebony fretboard and bridge. It’s a rather voluptuous shape, almost more like a jumbo than a GA. The box is deep at the bottom and angles up steeply to the neck, which Sanden feels increases projection dramatically.

Let’s talk about tone This guitar is bright, very bell-like and not at all brittle, but it sounds nothing like an American guitar. From mids to top, it’s a powerhouse: defined, clear, sweet and pure. Dropped into DADGAD or lower, it doesn’t really fatten up much; it’s got a very lean bass response. If you’re addicted to warm, round, booming bass, you will want to look elsewhere.
