Key Features
Product Ref: 91158
The TW40 SD E 12 Sundance Historic features a sloped shoulder dreadnought body, which was originally designed to be an aesthetic feature. However over the years, luthiers realised that there were some sonic advantages to the sloped shoulders that offer players a more mellow tonality to the big, loud dreadnought voicing as well as being well-balanced across the tonal spectrum. The Sundance Historic's body is also better-suited to those with a longer reach and players more comfortable with bigger bodied guitars. With its combination of tonewoods and slope shoulder dreadnought body, the TW40 SD E 12 Sundance Historic 12 String is ideal for a wide range of genres and techniques, from fingerpicking styles to strumming patterns and more alternative techniques.
The TW40 SD E 12 Sundance Historic 12 String features a solid spruce top that delivers a broad dynamic range, yields a crisp, articulate tone, and offers a versatile tonal character. The solid top's versatility enables players to drive with a hard pick attack, or lightly finger-pick the 12 strings to achieve a beautifully melodic tone. Its stunning solid top is paired with mahogany back and sides that deliver a rich, resonant and distinct warmth. Additionally, its mahogany body also produces a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles.
Constructed from mahogany the Sundance Historic's neck adds extra warmth and resonance to the overall sound. Its mahogany neck is also ideal for its 12 string setup, as the wood responds greatly to numerous playing styles and techniques with ease. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that adds a sonic warmth with a hint of bright-sparkle to the overall sound. In addition, its rosewood fingerboard also offers players a smooth and energetic playing experience.
The Tanglewood Sundance Historic 12 Strings comes equipped with a Fishman Sonitone system, offering basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal environments. The sophisticated and discrete system is mounted within the sound hole and has rotary controls for volume and tone. Simply plug-in to an amp or PA system and listen to your 12 string's melodic acoustic voice come alive. Perfect for the performing musicians and those who like to record.
