Tanglewood TSF CE X Koa Evolution Exotic Electro-Acoustic Guitar

The Tanglewood TSF CE X KOA’s body is crafted from koa. Koa projects a well-balanced tone with a tendency to start out bright, however the more you play, the warmer its tone will get. The koa body also produces a focused mid-range, and become richer, sweeter, and more resonant with each strum.

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.

Tanglewood’s Super Folk Body

The Tanglewood Evolution Koa Edition features one of Tanglewood’s most iconic body shapes, the Super Folk. 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.

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 a 4-band EQ which includes, slider tone controls for bass, mid, treble, and presence. If that’s not enough, this preamp also includes a separate volume control and the convenience of on on-board chromatic tuner, that provides perfect tuning precision.
