Properties of the wood used in the Tanglewood TW1000 6 String Acoustic Guitar
As wood is the most critical component in both the construction and final sound of a Guitar it should be viewed as an important element when deciding on wether to purchase an instrument. Certain woods are commonly used for the various parts of a Guitar and therefore an insight into the probable durability, longevity and aging effect on an instrument can be gained prior to purchase. The Tanglewood TW1000 uses Rosewood in the construction of it's Solid Body; this choice, due to the hard and dense nature of the material, will lend itself to both longevity and durability. As this wood type takes an excellent polish the comfort to the human touch when playing makes for an instrument that feels warm and friendly.
The Tanglewood TW1000 like most acoustical guitars worldwide uses a spruce top, the spruce wood being renowned for it's lightweight, yet extremely stiff properties. The solid spruce top projects mid-range tone better than practically any other wood which is very important in the absense of electronic pickups. The Neck being constructed of one peice mahogany is both durable and hardwearing and being overlayed with a Rosewood fretboard produces a complex tonal content. The warmer, more woody range of the mahogany being enfused with the richer and more high end sound of the rosewood.
Overall the wood used in the construction of this Guitar makes for a durable and longlasting instrument which feels both sturdy and comfortable to the musician. The complex and varied tones produced will round out further as the instrument ages. The resonance of low and mid range tones will be amplified by the dreadnought body design when being strummed whereas the mid to high end ranges produced by the spruce and rosewood will come to the fore when played using fingerstyles.

Frequently Asked Questions...
How much does it cost to have a fretboard made for a guitar?
I have a PRS SE Singlecut. I'm sick of the standard look of the rosewood fingerboard and the moon inlays. How much (approx) would it cost to have a plain Ebony fretboard with no inlays, no binding, and medium-sized frets made for my guitar and installed?
Answer:
If you have it specifically made for you then you are looking at about $100-200, if you can find somewhere that already makes them (mass produces/etc) then more like $25-75.
Good Luck.
