DISC Tanglewood TWD1 Resonator Guitar

Full Description

Resonator Design

Bluegrass fans will love the Tanglewood TWD1, with its iconic look and distinctive tone. A classic resonator delivers its sound by carrying the string vibration through the bridge to a spun metal cone, producing a loud brash tone that many people associate with blues and bluegrass types of music. Resonator guitars were popular before the electric guitar was invented due to their natural acoustic projection. Its striking appearance includes the legendary cover plate that also adds to the tone.

Spruce & Mahogany

The Tanglewood TWD1 features a spruce top, along with a mahogany body offering a traditional appearance and a superb tone. This stunning spruce top produces a crisp, versatile tone suitable for many styles of playing.

Mahogany also offers a balanced tone that accommodates a versatile range of different playing styles, and is a great choice for those looking for one instrument that can handle many styles from fingerstyle to strumming.
