Key Features
Product Ref: 93524
The Java Exotic Dreadnought features a solid spruce top, koa sides, and koa and flame maple back, which not only offer beautiful aesthetics but superb tone. The spruce top produces a crisp, versatile tone suitable for many styles of playing, and an un-muddied sound which will retain its clarity when you strum hard. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright singing highs. The stunning spruce top is paired with koa sides, which add bright attack and sweet-rich tones, producing a warmer sound the more you play. In addition to the koa sides, the 3-piece back is made up of koa and flame maple, producing an incredibly rich sound, blended with resonant bright sparkly highs.
The neck is made from nato timber, which is a distant relative of eastern mahogany, offering similar tonal properties, including rich-warmth, great resonance, and brilliant durability. The nato neck is topped with a sonokeling fingerboard which projects similar tones to rosewood, offering a smooth play and bright sparkly tones that really shine through when using finger-picking techniques.
The Tanglewood Java features the dreadnought body shape, offering an enormous voice, well-balanced tone, and comfortable playability. The Dreadnought is a popular choice among acoustic players, as its comfortable-contours accommodate a variety of different playing styles. The Java Dreadnought also features a cutaway design, which enables players to reach more challenging chords with equal ease.
The Tanglewood Java Dreadnought comes stage ready and equipped with a Fishman Presys preamp and tuner, offering maximum control and quality in a small, sophisticated format. The compact system features, volume, bass, mid, and treble rotary controls. The Fishman Presys also features a phase switch and built-in tuner with bright easy-read LED display. The Presys preamp also includes a Fishman Sonicore pickup, a low battery indicator, and unique pivot design for easy access to the battery compartment.
The Tanglewood Java Dreadnought is a well-crafted, beautifully designed electro-acoustic which is finished with a classy and sophisticated appearance. Its traditional sound-hole rosette complements its solid spruce top, mahogany binding, and a natural gloss finish. The Java is finished with open back nickel vintage machineheads, a classy Tanglewood 'T' on the 12th fret, and signature Tanglewood brand logo that graces the head-plate.
