Tanglewood TWCRTLH Crossroads Travel Acoustic Guitar, Left-Handed

A compact left-handed acoustic for trips and small rooms

The Tanglewood TWCRTLH is the left-handed version of the Crossroads travel guitar, so lefties can own a small, portable acoustic without making do with a right-handed one. It has mahogany throughout and costs £139.

For left-handed players on the move

Small left-handed acoustics are not always easy to track down. This one is built for left-handed playing from the start, so you can grab it, tune up and play the shapes you already know. Put it in the car for a holiday, take it backstage for a warm-up, or keep it next to your desk.

Small body, warm sound

A travel guitar will never match a dreadnought for low end, but the TWCRTLH projects better than its size suggests. The mahogany top brings rich mids and clarity, while the mahogany back and sides add depth and help notes ring on. The grain shows through the Whiskey Burst Satin finish, and the Eboncore fingerboard gives a dark contrast to the warm body. Strummed chords sound full and rounded, and single-note melodies stay clear, which makes it a handy tool for working out songs and riffs wherever you are.

• Left-handed travel body that is light to carry
• A size that suits younger and older players alike
• Mahogany top, back and sides
• Eboncore fingerboard

Choosing between the two travel models

The TWCRTLH and the right-handed TWCRT share the same woods and finish. The only differences are the handedness and £10 on the price. If you want a fuller-sized left-handed acoustic for home, the TWCROLH orchestra model is the next step up in body size. For a lefty who travels, busks in the park or just wants a guitar that is always within reach, this little Crossroads is an easy choice. It also makes a good first guitar for a left-handed child, with free UK delivery from us.
