The Tanglewood Blackbird series captures the timeless aesthetic of 1940s and 50s American guitars whilst incorporating modern craftsmanship from Michael Sanden and the skilled Tanglewood artisanal team. Built upon the proven success of the Crossroads range, this new collection represents a careful balance between vintage inspiration and contemporary construction techniques.
Each Blackbird model features precision bracing designed to produce tight, controlled bass response alongside clear, rich treble resonance. The vintage ivory ABS binding recreates the classic Bakelite appearance of mid–century instruments, adding authentic visual character that complements the guitar's retro styling without compromising tonal performance.
The range offers both traditional acoustic models and stage–ready electro–acoustic versions, with all electric models equipped with Tanglewood's Premium Plus EQ system as standard. This comprehensive approach ensures players can access the Blackbird's distinctive vintage character across different performance contexts and playing styles.
