Classic Semi-Hollow Tone with Modern Clarity
The Tanglewood TCH59-VB Chicago blends traditional semi-hollow design with a clean, articulate voice suited to a wide range of styles. Its flame maple top, paired with maple back and sides, delivers a bright, responsive tone with added warmth and natural resonance from the semi-hollow construction. This makes it well suited to jazz lines, blues phrasing, and expressive clean or driven tones.
The Okoume neck provides a stable, comfortable feel, while the Purple Heart fingerboard adds snap and definition to each note. Together, they create a balanced playing experience with smooth response across the neck. Loaded with dual humbuckers, it offers a versatile tonal range, controlled through standard volume and tone controls with a pickup selector for easy switching.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Tanglewood Chicago is a fantastic intial entry into the hollowbody space by one of the world's most renowned acoustic guitar makers.
