Guitar and Bass magazine's 'Best Acoustic Guitar under 500 Pound 2009

The Tanglewood TRSJ-VS is from the Rosewood Reserve range, so it has a solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides.

Big jumbo body kicks out tons of bass with the rosewood really shaping and controlling this bass into a nice warm, rounded sound.

Top end is crystal clear and ringing and mids punchy but controlled. The satin finished neck is a pleasure to hold and the kluson style machine heads hold tuning well.

Deserves the Guitar of the Year award, a real pleasure to play and a big sound.
