Description
Tanglewood Sundance Historic TW40 SO VS E Small Orchestra Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Designed under the guidance of master luthier Michael Sanden, the Sundance Historic Series captures the essence of traditional acoustic guitar building while delivering a refined, contemporary tone. Michael’s influence is evident in every detail, from the bracing and tone shaping to the overall balance and feel of each instrument.
The TW40 SO VS E features a Solid AAA Aged Spruce top, carefully tuned, aged, and braced for maximum resonance and tonal depth. Paired with mahogany back and sides, it produces a rich, articulate voice that’s warm in the lows, clear in the highs, and perfectly suited to fingerstyle or light strumming.
The Small Orchestra (SO) body shape provides a comfortable, responsive playing experience, ideal for players seeking a more intimate and nuanced tone. Its stunning Vintage Sunburst Gloss finish enhances the natural beauty of the tonewoods, adding a touch of classic elegance.
A Laurel fingerboard and Walnut bridge ensure a smooth, natural playing feel and excellent tonal transfer, while the Fishman Presys preamp system delivers crystal-clear amplification with intuitive tone control, perfect for live performance or studio recording.
Outfitted with Elixir Nanoweb Bronze 12-53 strings, the TW40 SO VS E offers enduring tone and playability straight out of its included premium hard case. An optional pickguard is also provided, giving you the choice to personalize the look of your guitar.

"Genuinely the nicest experience shopping here. The staff were so friendly and spent a good deal of time (unhurried time!) helping me and explaining everything to me so I could choose the right items for my setup. If there were more than 5 stars to give they would get them all."

"Came through looking for a guitar. Chris was run off his feet serving multiple customers but still kept checking in with me and pulling guitars down left right and centre for me to get a feel for. His expertise made the whole process comfortable and I was able to return later that same day and buy the guitar Chris helped me select. Great service and will definitely be back."
