Tanglewood TVC Koa Evolution Exotic 2010 Electro-Acoustic Guitar


Here for sale we have a Tanglewood TVC Koa in Natural Gloss finish. Made in China in 2010, this guitar features a Koa top, back and sides, Mahogany neck, Rosewood bridge and 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with an undersaddle pickup and Fishman Presys preamp with volume control, 3-band EQ, phase switch and on-board tuner. 


The Mahogany neck plays well, feeling comfortable in the hand and providing a smooth playing experience due to its gloss finish to the rear. The rather flat radius is great for fingerstyle, as well as bluesy string bends, with the Rosewood fingerboard feeling luxurious to the touch. The cutaway improves access to the upper register, and the smooth lines of the body make this a comfortable guitar to play in any position.


The Koa body gives this guitar a crisp and clear tone that is bright without being shrill. The low end is unpronounced but warm, with a controlled midrange that further aids the clarity of the tone. The instrument projects well, and offers a wide dynamic range that doesn't lose clarity at higher volumes. The Fishman Presys electronics convey the guitar's voice faithfully, with the controls making this guitar capable in a live situation.

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you.
