Tanglewood Launches Roadster Travel Guitars

Tanglewood Guitar Company UK will introduce its new Roadster Series of travel size acoustic guitars at the 2011 NAMM Show.

Taking over where its overwhelmingly popular Evolution Series TB-BABY guitar left off, Tanglewood has expanded its travel size offering to include both acoustic (TWRT) and electro-acoustic (TWRT-E) options. The new Roadster instruments target both the guitarist on the move, as well as younger players with smaller hands.

The instruments each feature a Cedar top (solid Cedar, in the case of the TWRT-E) and mahogany back and sides. With functionality being the main priority, the guitars’ aesthetic is purposefully understated – the natural satin finish, lack of rosette, and binding-less body all tastefully underscore the utilitarian feel.

The TWRT-E is fitted with Tanglewood’s 2-band EQ, with back-lit LCD tuner. Both models include a sand-colored gig bag.

The new Roadster guitars will begin shipping to North American Tanglewood dealers in January 2011.
