The Tanglewood TWBBSF CE 12 Blackbird 12 String Electro Acoustic Guitar features a Super Folk Cutaway body shape, expertly designed to offer players enhanced access to the upper frets. This design not only facilitates easier playability for complex chord progressions and solo work but also contributes to the guitar's robust sound projection. The aesthetic elegance of the cutaway also complements the overall sleek design of the instrument, making it as visually appealing as it is functional.
Mahogany is renowned for its ability to produce a warm, rich sound, and the TWBBSF CE 12 utilises this wood for both its top and sides. This choice ensures that the guitar delivers a sound that is resonant and full-bodied, ideal for the complex harmonics required by a 12-string guitar. The natural wood grain visible through the Smokestack Black Satin finish not only enhances the instrument's beauty but also contributes to its distinctive tonal character.
Embedded within this guitar is the Tanglewood Premium Plus EQ system, a state-of-the-art feature that allows musicians to fine-tune their sound with precision. Whether in a live performance or a studio setting, this system provides the flexibility needed to adjust the tone, volume, and overall sound quality to perfectly match the environment and music style. This level of control makes the TWBBSF CE 12 exceptionally versatile and suitable for a wide range of musical genres.
The Smokestack Black Satin finish of the Tanglewood TWBBSF CE 12 Blackbird not only gives it a sophisticated look but also serves a practical purpose. This type of finish helps to protect the wood, ensuring durability and maintaining the guitar’s pristine condition through years of use. The subtle sheen of the satin finish also highlights the mahogany’s natural patterns, adding an extra layer of visual appeal that sets this instrument apart on any stage or studio setting.
