Tanglewood TR8-E Roadster II Parlour Acoustic-Electric

Tanglewood TR8 E Roadster II Parlour Acoustic-Electric Guitar with EQ

Tanglewood TR8 E Roadster II Parlour Acoustic-Electric Guitar with EQ (TR8E) Parlour guitars, with their diminutive physical dimensions and vintage styling always stand out on a retailers wall, but in reality, this was the original acoustic body shape for scores of years, Dreadnought and Folk and other variants didn’t appear until many years after the Parlour, so they are not quite as rare as we often think.

To compliment the heritage of the parlour shape, we marry a Canadian Spruce top, with Indonesian Mahogany, ensuring we have a great tone, then we brace the top as we would a folk model, so that we get a tremendous sound projection. This model has an onboard Tanglewood EX4 EQ system, with 4 band graphic, so it can be used live or in the studio, and if you zoom in on the picture you will note the lovely hand inlaid genuine timber rosette which we think finishes the instrument off perfectly. A classic shape for the discerning player.
