Tanglewood TUN5E Union Series Dreadnought Electro-Acoustic Guitar

A solid Mahogany dreadnought that plugs straight in

The Tanglewood TUN5E is a dreadnought electro acoustic guitar for players who want a big, warm sound at home and a ready-to-plug-in guitar for the stage. It sits in the Tanglewood Union series, and it suits singer-songwriters and strummers who like a full voice without a high price.

Mahogany from top to back

The top is solid Mahogany, and the back and sides are Mahogany too. That wood choice gives a rounded, woody tone with a strong midrange and a smooth top end. Solid tops also tend to open up as a guitar is played, so it should keep improving over the years.

The dreadnought body is the classic big-voiced shape. It moves a lot of air, which means plenty of volume and sustain for rhythm playing, and enough clarity for fingerstyle once you settle into it.

Onboard electronics

You get Tanglewood TEQ MX electronics built in. Plug into an amp, a PA or an audio interface and you can shape the sound without any extra gear. That makes the TUN5E easy to take from a bedroom practice session to an open mic night.

Natural finish, easy feel

The Open Pore Natural Satin finish lets the grain of the Mahogany show through. The Eboncore fingerboard keeps the neck smooth under your fingers.

If you prefer a cutaway for easier access to the upper frets, compare it with the TUN5CE, which comes in the same Open Pore Natural Satin finish at the same price. If you want a straight dreadnought with a plain, traditional look, the TUN5E is the one to pick. Either way, you get free UK delivery from us.
