TW2TS Spruce Top Mahogany Travel Guitar Bundle with Gig Bag, Tuner, Strap, Strings, Picks, Instructional DVD, and Austin Bazaar Polishing Cloth

First thing I should say is that I did not receive a spruce top model ( which is what I thought I was ordering ). I did receive a Tanglewood TW2T with the standard mahogany top. It is Okay, I like this one very much. If you want me to return it so that you can send me a spruce top model, don't even think about it. This is a very high quality instrument for the price, and I will tell you now, you can't have it back. This guitar has a scale that I can play so much easier than others. Yes it is a small bodied guitar, but it has a really nice tone for a 3/4 size. I found no issues with the quality or construction, and I figure that I got a bargain on a well made instrument that I can recommend. I have looked at other 3/4 size models and could not find one that I liked better until they got close to 4 times the amount I paid for this. I realize that sending this particular model was an error on someones part, but like I said, You can't have it back..

I picked this guitar up at a local Mom & Pop music store in Bedford, VA last week. Was hanging next to a travel-size Martin. After messing with this for 15 minutes or so, I had no need to even look at the Martin. I have been playing since I was a kid and I'm now 60 years old. Have had plenty of acoustic guitars in my hands and sitting in my lap all those years. So I can tell you that I figured this was not only a great little guitar from feeling and hearing it, but once I got home and looked up all the specs from the manufacturer, I was pleased to find I actually know what I'm talking about. This little Tanglewood TW2-TS Spruce Top Mahogany Travel Guitar is a winner in my book.One warning I will give potential buyers of any instrument online - if you cannot feel and hear the instrument, you have no way of measuring whether it talks (or sings) to you, as each instrument has a personality of its own. That said, this is an economical production-line guitar. You might find things like frets that need to be smoothed. I pulled one out of the box on the floor and it was fine, but the one hanging on the wall had a few sharp frets along the bottom of edge the neck. You can carefully file that smooth, but only if you know what you're doing. I prefer to buy guitars only if I can sit and mess with them. That goes for expensive guitars too, not just econo brands.
