Tanglewood Introduces Sundance Historic Line of Acoustics

Sundance Historic line aims to meet the market demand for simple, understated, 1940s-style solid-top guitars.



Montreal, QC (January 3, 2010) - Tanglewood Guitar Company UK, the United Kingdom’s best-selling acoustic guitar brand, will introduce the new Sundance Historic line of acoustic guitars at the 2011 Winter NAMM show.



Created as a sub-series of Tanglewood’s successful Sundance range, the Sundance Historic line aims to meet the market demand for simple, understated, 1940s-style solid-top guitars.

This new collection is comprised of three models:
• TW40-D-AN Dreadnought in Antique Natural Gloss
• TW40-O-AN Orchestra (000) in Antique Natural Gloss
• TW40-SD-VS Slope-Shouldered Dreadnought in Vintage Sunburst Gloss

Designed in the UK, under the stewardship of Swedish master luthier Michael Sanden, these instruments evoke plenty of traditional style. Each guitar has a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, a rosewood fingerboard, multiple celluloid binding, a reinforcing neck volute, a genuine bone nut and saddle, and vintage-style chrome tuners. Additional features include Tanglewood’s new parallel bridge pin system, and a soft V neck profile.

Sundance Historic guitars will begin shipping to North American Tanglewood dealers in January 2011. Suggested USA Retail Price for all 3 Sundance Historic models is $679 ($499 MAP).

Haven't Blueridge, Recording King, Morgan-Monroe, etc. already done this very same thing? And what's with all these Chinese made vintage replicas going with the V shaped neck? I don't personally know any players that prefer a V shape to the modern D shaped profile...seems you would be really limiting the amount of guitars you might sell just to be "historically accurate." Too bad, I might try one without the V shape.
