PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- HPL spruce top The TM3E is built with a high pressure laminate (HPL) spruce top chosen for its bright articulate voice and its ability to develop character as it&rsquo
- s played. Spruce has long been a favourite for acoustic tops thanks to its dynamic range offering clarity for fingerpicked passages and power when you dig in with a pick. Over time the top matures adding warmth and depth to the tone meaning this guitar will only sound better the more you play it. It&rsquo
- s an instrument that rewards regular use and becomes uniquely yours as the years go by. Koa back and sides Koa is prized not only for its striking grain patterns but also for the warmth it brings to the sound. On the TM3E the koa back and sides add a sweet midrange emphasis that pairs beautifully with the brightness of spruce. The result is a tone that feels balanced and musical across styles whether you&rsquo
- re laying down chords for a song or adding a lead line. The natural satin finish highlights the wood&rsquo
- s beauty while giving the guitar a smooth organic feel that&rsquo
- s easy on the hands and comfortable for long playing sessions. Orchestra body shape The orchestra body design strikes a great balance between comfort and projection. It&rsquo
- s slightly more compact than a dreadnought so it sits comfortably against the body without feeling bulky yet it still offers plenty of volume and presence. This makes the TM3E a great choice for players who need a guitar that&rsquo
- s versatile enough to handle different playing environments from living room practice to live gigs. The proportions also help it produce a balanced tonal response ensuring both the low and high registers are clear and defined. Stage-ready electronics Equipped with Tanglewood&rsquo
- s TEQ-G3 EQ system the TM3E is ready to plug in and perform. The onboard electronics capture the guitar&rsquo
- s natural acoustic voice with impressive accuracy allowing you to shape your sound quickly and easily. With intuitive controls it&rsquo
- s simple to tailor your tone for different venues whether you need a crisp immediate sound to cut through a band mix or a warmer tone for solo performance. Combined with reliable chrome die-cast tuners a sturdy ebony fingerboard and bridge and resilient high pressure laminate (HPL) construction this guitar is as dependable on stage as it is inspiring to play at home.
