Tanglewood TSR2 Solid Rosewood Guitar – Great Condition & Amazing Sound

Description

I’m selling my Tanglewood TSR2 grand-auditorium guitar as it is just not getting played enough since I got a smaller OOO guitar, and the TSR2 is just too nice to be left unplayed. It’s a lovely guitar with top-quality solid spruce on top and solid rosewood back and sides.

The guitar has also had a setup by John Procter, a luthier round my neck of the woods, who set it up with a lovely sound and an easy action for fingerstyle, flat-picking or strumming. The pickup works very well. Tanglewood did an amazing job of consulting Michael Sanden, who is a world-renowned boutique luthier, to create a top-quality guitar at prices that are astonishing.

It’s been kept indoors with great care (not gigged, I mean) and comes with a custom-fit Tanglewood hard case. The guitar is in very good condition and has some accidental minor dinks from light use on the top and one on the neck which are difficult to photograph, but if you would like some close-ups, email me and I can try to get the light just right to show them.

I’d welcome anyone to come and give it a play at my home in SE25. If you do a search for the review online by Premierguitar, it really describes the guitar well. If you message me I'd be happy to send the detailed spec, though this can also be found online.

Here is the official spec from Tanglewood:

Fantastic craftsmanship and sound from this now dis-continued guitar. This model has a minor ding on the upper bout and some swirl marks on the back which is why it is listed as B Stock.
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.
