Tanglewood - 'DBT SFCE BW'


'discovery series'The ’DBT SFCE BW’ has been a highlight of Tanglewood’s catalogue for over 6 years now, and quickly found legendary status due to it’s spectacular sound, ease of playability and stunning aesthetic. Tanglewood used only the finest Himalayan Spruce for the top and married this with American Black Walnut timber to deliver the ultimate blend of style and substance. The DBT SFCE BW is carefully braced for a warm and rich acoustic tone and is fitted with a built-in EX4 EQ preamp/EQ system, ensuring brilliant compatibility both on stage and in the studio.
Each model features a unique grain pattern too, no two Walnut trees are the same, and this carries on through to each guitar. In Tanglewood’s own words ‘We select models at the timber yard that are well figured and striking so that you can be sure that you have a heirloom instrument to play and pass on for future players’.
