Tanglewood recognise that to introduce people to music an instrument must have a high build quality, good playability, attractive cosmetics and as many features as possible to encourage and reward aspiring musicians.

Using this design brief, Tanglewood luthiers created the Discovery Exotic series, a whole range of genuine musical instruments which feature 4 band EQ systems with stage backlighting, delicate 2mm fingerboard dots, black soft touch machine head buttons and understated sound hole rosettes. All these features are aimed at bringing the specification of a much more expensive instrument into the entry level market.

This outstanding model is a global best seller, and one look at the pictures can tell you why.

Tanglewood take Himalayan Spruce and marry that to a back and sides of highly figured Pacific Walnut tonewood to give a look and a sound that is hard to beat at any price.

Tanglewood’s popular Super Folk Cutaway is the choice of body style for this model and Tanglewood fit an onboard EX4 EQ system to each guitar to make them stage or studio ready.

Tanglewood brace the guitars carefully to give rich tonal variety and they genuinely aren’t sure if they look their best from the front, with their hand inlaid timber rosettes or from the back, with their highly figured walnut grain patterns.
