Here for sale we have a Tanglewood TW Mini Koa in Autumn Burst Gloss finish. Made in China in 2019, this guitar features a dovetail construction comprising a Solid Mahogany top with Koa veneer, Laminated Koa back and sides, Nato neck and 20 fret Eboncore fingerboard with a Techwood bridge. This instrument is equipped with a Nubone compensated saddle and nut, along with a set of Chrome Grover sealed tuning machines. An undersaddle piezo pickup is installed, and is wired to a Fishman Presys shoulder-mounted preamp with master volume, phase and contour controls, as well as an on-board tuner.
The Nato neck plays very well, with a nicely slim and easily manageable profile that could be described as a rounded 'C' shape. The nut width is relatively narrow at 1.678", providing easy reach across the fretboard. The Eboncore fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 16" radius is practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques. The smooth lines and compact size of the body are comfortable in the arms, ensuring long practice sessions and gigs are easy and fatigue free.
The acoustic voice of the Tanglewood TW Mini Koa is rich and well balanced, with a surprisingly warm bass response for such a small-bodied guitar. The mid range is open and clear whilst the top end is sparkly and bright. Equally at home as a fingerstyle instrument or cowboy strummer, this guitar is well suited to the mobile musician who needs a versatile travel companion. The undersaddle piezo pickup and Fishman Presys preamp faithfully convey the tone of the instrument in both live and recording situations.
