Why did I wonder in a Guitar shop just to look!!
 

Lol. You guessed what I'm a about to say.
It's so hard walking past a guitar shop and testing things out. Before you know it you have pulled out your credit card and brought ANOTHER guitar. That's what happened today.
I was trying out some Tanglewood. I recently brought a second hand Tanglewood a TW 155st which I wasn't to keen on after playing it a few weeks.
I gave that one away.

Today I tried out 2 Tanglewood and I must say they were impressive.
The first one was a slope shouldered TW 40 with a Fishman Sonitone pick up . That sounding lovely.

The next one I tried was the T W55 op e .The O P stands for Open Pour which is meant to help with the tone and projection.

As soon as I played the first few chords . It had a beautiful ring gas to it. Plugged in was also quite impressive. The pick up is a fishman withe bass treble mids and nocth as well as a tuner.
I gave in and brought it. I didn't know Tanglewood mid range price guitars can be very good. This one is a sure winner. Beautiful open sound to it.

It cost £570. So wasn't cheap but you certainly get what you pay for. Normally around £640.

You went in to look...because we HAVE to just look, right ?

Lol. That's right.:):)

Confused : are you wondering why you wandered - or did you wander in to wonder ?

No I wandered in to wander and was filled with wonder. Lol.
I tried to be a bit clever with the title but right I have probably confused everyone.

What I am basically saying as one goes into a Guitar shop it's hard not tonly leave after 5 mins, you end up staying for 45 mins and most likely end up buying. Lol.

I hate when that happens!!!....:roll:

Congrats on the new Tanglewood. There was a shop here in my town that sold them and a few years back I almost bought one as well. Very nice guitars for the money.

Hi bluesfreak

Yes the mid price range say £500 up are the better Tanglewoods I recently brought a TW 155st from gumtree although i only paid £160 that one was worth £300 and that particular one didnt6 sound to great. The TW55 was much better and seemed to be solidly built. I love the Fishman preys preamp it came with too.

So, were you just wondering or were you wandering? Wondering won't cost anything. Wandering can result in several outcomes.

I always walk out of the shop eventually, empty-handed because they didn't have THE ONE.

Lol. We are forever searching 'The One' :):):)

You love guitars and gear Dave. That's why. I have only one guitar that I absolutely cherish and want no other, but I do stop frequently and play guitars that I want to check out just for the fun. Last week, I did a koa experiment and loved it! Not to the point to buy, but I've tried 4 different guitars that one was outstanding.

There is no look, there is only buy.

I'm scared to go in. I'm gradually selling off my vast collection since retiring from the industry.
But I seem to be replacing electrics with acoustics....

We don't see too many Tanglewoods on this side of the pond but the ones I Have had the chance to play were pretty darn good guitars for the money.

I wouldn't advise going into a strip club.
