Tanglewood Crossroads Series
Tanglewoods Crossroads guitar series pays homage to the style and sound of 1930’s America but keeping the guitar ready for action for the modern guitarist.
Guitars from the 1930's used to play this music weren’t fancy, or ornately decorated or adorned with expensive lacquers, they were straightforward and functional, but in a lot of cases these instruments were still quite precisely engineered for the day. With a really significant cost to the musician in those days it meant that guitars of this era had to play well and last a long time, often to be passed on through family generations. Designed by Michael Sanden, Swedish luthier, he wanted to make a guitar that could have the sound that any musician, professional or amateur could appreciate and he demanded that the neck profiles and bridge contouring and fret inlaying should be implemented without regard to the price of manufacturing, to proudly reflect the Tanglewood ethos of outstanding value and performance.
