Tanglewood TC5CE Acoustic Steel String Guitar with DCM Premium Case

Tanglewood Crossroads TWCRDCE Electro-Acoustic – Whiskey Barrel Burst Satin

Vintage Soul. Modern Craftsmanship. Classic 1930s Inspiration.

The Tanglewood Crossroads Series is a tribute to the acoustic guitars that shaped American music in the 1930s—an era defined by soulful blues, honest songwriting, and rich acoustic tone. Designed under the expert vision of master luthier Michael Sanden, the TWCRDCE captures this spirit with warm mahogany tone, expressive response, and a timeless vintage aesthetic.

Designed from the Ground Up by Michael Sanden

Sanden, the renowned Swedish luthier behind Tanglewood Masterdesign, carefully selected the tonewoods for the Crossroads range. He carved each soundboard to precise thicknesses to maximise resonance and responsiveness, and applied his own bracing patterns to ensure every instrument has its own voice and character.

This dedication elevates the Crossroads Series beyond typical entry-level offerings—delivering musicality, feel, and craftsmanship that punch far above their price.

Warm, Classic Mahogany Tone

Built with a hand-selected mahogany top, paired with mahogany back and sides, the TWCRDCE produces a warm, earthy tone with rich midrange and a mellow low end. The iconic Dreadnought Cutaway shape offers power, projection, and excellent upper fret access—ideal for strummers, singer-songwriters, flatpickers, and modern performers.

Historic Whiskey Barrel Burst Finish

To honour the instruments of the 1930s, the TWCRDCE features a stunning Whiskey Barrel Burst Satin finish—dark, smoky, and beautifully aged in appearance. Combined with detailed neck shaping, refined bridge contouring, and authentic appointments, this guitar looks as classic as it sounds.

Stage-Ready With TW-EX4 Electronics

With the Tanglewood TW-EX4 EQ system, the TWCRDCE is ready for live performance or studio use. Offering clear, controlled amplification and intuitive tone shaping, this system ensures your plugged-in sound stays natural, balanced, and expressive.
