The Tanglewood TSP 15 SD HB from the Premier Series is an electro-acoustic guitar with a Sloped/Round Shoulder Dreadnought body. The front of the guitar is made from a hand-selected piece of Sitka spruce, which is complemented by laminated mahogany on the back and sides. Glued to the also mahogany neck is a modern composite fingerboard with 20 frets. Orientation on the fingerboard surface is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position dots (MOP) and a distinctive mother-of-pearl inlay on the twelfth fret.
The strings are held in tuning Die-Cast mechanisms and a pau ferro wood fingerboard over the NuBone zero and saddle frets. The fine workmanship is accentuated by the double-sided body binding, the Herringbone rosette and top bout, and the imitation tortoiseshell pickguard.
Sound reinforcement is provided by a Fishman Presys active preamp with three-band EQ and integrated tuner.
