“My first impression of the TS5 is that is a perfectly pleasant, but not particularly surprising looking guitar.”

 

Tanglewood Guitars Says…”The Strada series guitars are a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and superior sound quality, catering to the needs of discerning musicians. Each model in this series boasts a top made from Englemann Spruce, renowned for its exceptional tonal clarity and dynamic response. The back and sides of all Strada models are constructed from White Mahogany, which imparts a balanced and warm tonal character, enhancing the overall richness of the sound.

Adding to their premium features, the Strada series guitars are equipped with an Ebony Amara bridge and fingerboard, known for their durability and smooth playability. The Open Pore Natural Satin finish not only accentuates the inherent beauty of the wood but also allows for better resonance and a comfortable feel. This combination of high-quality materials and thoughtful design makes the Strada series guitars a perfect blend of aesthetic elegance and acoustic excellence, suitable for various playing styles and musical genres.”

“Moving onto the setup I’m actually very impressed – not only are the fret ends really nicely rounded and smooth, but the action is good at the nut and at the 12th fret and the guitar actually feels like one that’s had a proper QC check once manufactured to make sure it’s playing well…”

Tanglewood Guitars TS5 Strada: UK RRP: £129.00

“Giving the guitar a close once over it seems rather well made, particular when considering the price point.”
