Tanglewood’s new Sundance Performance Pro line features a range of high quality guitars designed by Swedish master luthier Michael Sanden.
The guitars are constructed from premier woods and feature a variety of solid tonewoods.
Torrefied wood has been kiln dried.
Torrefied top guitars are said to have a rich character to their sound, normally associated with instruments that have been played for more than 30 years.
The X47 E is a Super Folk style guitar, which features a cutaway body, with onboard electronics.
Although a more modern smaller style, the body is still quite deep, aiding a rich, lush tone, a quality which is sometimes lost on cutaway guitars.
The body features an AAA solid mahogany top, and inside has a combination of X bracing and fan bracing, which according to its designer, Michael Sanden, aids tone and sustain.
This guitar also features solid mahogany back and sides, which is great for projection and definition.
The body features a maple binding.
The modern feeling C shape neck is constructed from mahogany with a sonokelin fingerboard - sonokelin is an Indonesian rosewood.
The neck has a scale length of 650mm and includes a bone nut and ABS Pearl dot inlays.
The headstock boasts six chrome Grover tuners, with the guitar finished in a high gloss natural polyurethane finish.
The X47E also features an on board pickup system, the Fishman Presys +.
The Presys+ system features a master volume, three band EQ, a notch filter to help eliminate feedback, a brilliance control, similar to presence and a phase button, which affects the low end frequencies when engaged.
The system also features an onboard tuner, which mutes the output signal for silent tuning; ideal for tuning between songs.
The sound of the X47E acoustically is surprisingly full and rich for a smaller bodied modern style acoustic.
The guitar projects well, and had beautiful top end presence and lots of rich low end.
Plugging the X47E in, and the guitar takes on another role, being a great acoustic for live electric performance.
The pre-amp produces a very natural, and surprisingly transparent tone.
