Members rickoshea Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 there are 2 people to blame for this ... well, 3 including myself Knock ... you swine. For keeping me fed with subliminal messages about a J200, then buying a Gibby Songwriter Deluxe. I simply had to try to keep up (although not quite in the same league admittedly ) Garthy ... for posting his NGD slothead nylon Yammie. My brain doesn't forget things like that mate Tanglewood DBT DLX EC (catchy title yes) ... a slotty nylon 46 mm nut width thin bodied crossover sorta thing. Cheap as hell, aimed at beginners but one of the nicest sounding and feeling guitars I've ever played. Tanglewood have a wee gem in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Sweet. Sounds like a good guitar for the steel stringer who wants to try out the classical sound. I'll be very interested in your full report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hey Rick! Nice one, mate! It looks very similar to my Yammie. Good old Tanglewood for coming up with a reasonably priced hybrid. PS. I'm really enjoying playing that hybrid Yammie of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Greymuzzle Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Trust a dentist to give you Gas! I thought I might have some relief after the recent 10 string, and even more recent 12 string ( not yet fessed up to ). I love the look of slot heads, and one with no nasty pointy string ends, mmmmmmmm, and that lovely nylon tone that I don't have... I hope you get great joy from it! ...and learn how to improvise strings for it from worn out shooting heads. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TESmith Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Congratulations, looks interesting Gotta agree with Garth about reminding me of a Yamaha General shape Alot like my steel string APX 4A Except for the slot head A little surprised you bought and did not build.

Members knockwood Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Nice!!! I absolutely love the look of that git! it'll look great next to a J200, too Hope you enjoy the hell out of it. And the garden backdrop is awesome! Red goats to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Nice! Does it have a flat or radiused fb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rickoshea Posted June 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 thanks all ... yup more than a little pleased with this one. FK - thats exactly the reason behind her. I had a Classical and, although I loved the tone I just didn't enjoy the slab of a fretboard and 52mm nut. The 46mm nut on this one is great, in fact she has a very steel string feel to the neck. Garthy - I haven't enjoyed a guitar this much for quite a while, its a great idea making these hybrids. I suppose I should really thank you for posting your NGD then :poke: Nigel - you need one Tim - its very similar to the Yamaha's, in fact I believe its made in their Chinese factory. Its all laminate (I think) but damn they squeeze out every bit of tone from her. The fretboard is radiused koi, it just plays like a steel string. Knock, this psychological torture you've been subjecting me to for several weeks is having its effect. I've started drilling J200 shaped cavities in teeth ... someday, someday (going to see the bank soon re Rorys school, now you know what I'm going to ask ) As Knock pointed out to me it looks like Tartanlad did a review of this guitar : 5fBQ1_sH-Bw&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greymuzzle Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Now you are just being silly! That isn't Tart. Tart isn't doing guitar anymore. He is totally preoccupied with his new pet. Very unusually he has got himself a Gnu. ... But there again Tart is a very unusual guy. He has called it Hawkweye. Hawkeye the Gnu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samilyn Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Oh, my...that's one purty git!! The body shape and oval soundhole kinda reminds me of a Guild F65ce. Congrats and Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
