Tanglewood TSR 2 C Master Design

For over 35 years Michael Sanden has been building bespoke custom instruments in the picturesque rural town of Komstad, Sweden. These have helped him solidify his reputation as one of the most creatively innovative luthiers of his generation. Michael has now collaborated with Tanglewood Guitars to bring his elegant designs and innovative craftsmanship to a larger market. A range of guitars built to precise Sanden blue-prints and incorporating some of Michaels most functional and stylistic handcrafted features, these instruments take production guitars to a new level. High-grade, solid Sitka spruce tops are paired with either solid rosewood or solid mahogany backs and sides. The instruments feature Michaels paintbrush stroke bridge, an unadorned headstock, a single stylised T inlay on the 12th fret of the fingerboard, and a zero fret. more specs: Body Body Shape Cutaway Grand Auditorium Top Solid Sitka Spruce Back Solid Indian Rosewood Side Solid Indian Rosewood Rosette Green Abalone, with Maple Top binding Mahogany, Maple Veneers .7mm Back binding Mahogany, with Maple Veneer Side binding Mahogany, with Maple Veneer Back center strip Maple 0.7mm Butt center strip Rosewood "V" Shape Neck Scale 650mm Number of frets 21F Joined at 14F Nut Ebony Nut Width 44.5mm (E to E string- 38.5mm) Width - 14F 56.3mm Truss rod 2 Way, Adjust at Soundhole Neck Material African Mahogany, 2 piece Neck block Grain horizontal with sides Neck thickness 21 - 23mm (1F-10F) Headstock shape Sanden Design Headstock veneer Indian Rosewood - Front & Back Headstock binding x Neck joint Dovetail Heel Cap Indian Rosewood Logo Front Headstock Green Abalone "Tanglewood" Logo Back Headstock x Finger Board Fingerboard Ebony Fingerboard binding Ebony Position markers 3, 5, 7, 9, 12(2) - Side Top position marker Green Abalone "T", 12th Fret Side position marker Dot - Ø2mm MOP Assembly Machine Heads (Tuner) Gold Grover Saddle Bone Pick Guard x End pin Gold Strap pin Gold - On Heel Cap Bridge material 1 Piece Ebony, String Slots Bridge shape Sanden Shape Bridge pins Ebony, Abalone Dots Parellel to Saddle Electronics LR Baggs Stage Pro Element Strings Elixir Nanoweb Lights 12-53 Dimensions Upper Bout Width 295mm Lower Bout Width 409mm Body Depth (Top) 94mm Body Depth (Bottom) 109mm Body Length 511mm Overall Total Length 1030mm Finish Head top Natural Gloss Neck back Natural Gloss Top Natural Gloss Back Natural Gloss Side Natural Glos, Bag / Case Tanglewood Hardcase
