£599.00 | Original Intended RRP £1,199 | All-Solid Construction | LR Baggs StagePro Element | Only One Available

An Unreleased Tanglewood Sundance Pro – Something Rather Special!

Every so often, a guitar comes into Chordplay that has a story worth telling, and this beautiful Tanglewood TW15PROE Sundance Pro is certainly one of them.

Originally developed as a proposed flagship model for Tanglewood’s acoustic range, the TW15PROE combines an outstanding specification with a rather unusual history.

Featuring a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, natural satin finish and premium LR Baggs StagePro Element electronics, this is a serious acoustic guitar that was originally intended to retail for approximately £1,199.

However, the model never received a conventional retail launch.

According to our representative at Tanglewood, approximately ten of these guitars were brought into the UK and supplied directly to dealers. Tanglewood subsequently decided to take the Sundance range in a different direction, favouring a gloss-finished design rather than this original satin-finished version.

As a result, the TW15PROE never appeared in the official online catalogue or on Tanglewood’s website.

We’ve also been advised that this is the last remaining example from that original UK allocation.

Due to a couple of small cosmetic imperfections on the soundboard, we have the opportunity to offer this remarkable guitar as B-stock for just £599.

For anyone looking for a premium all-solid electro-acoustic without spending four figures, this is an opportunity well worth exploring.

All-Solid Construction – Solid Spruce & Solid Mahogany

The heart of the TW15PROE is its excellent all-solid tonewood construction.

The solid spruce soundboard provides clarity, projection and a wonderfully responsive dynamic range, while the solid mahogany back and sides add warmth, body and a beautifully focused midrange character.

It’s a classic acoustic tonewood combination, offering plenty of versatility for everything from gentle fingerpicking to powerful strumming.

Unlike laminate-bodied alternatives, the all-solid construction allows the instrument to respond naturally to the player’s touch, with the potential for its acoustic character to develop further over time.

The dreadnought body provides plenty of natural volume and projection, giving the guitar a full, confident acoustic sound.

Premium LR Baggs StagePro Element Electronics

One of the standout features of this Sundance Pro is its LR Baggs StagePro Element pickup and preamp system.

This is no basic acoustic pickup.

The StagePro Element is a respected, performance-focused system featuring LR Baggs’ Element undersaddle pickup alongside an onboard preamp designed to provide excellent amplified acoustic sound.

Features include:

* Three-band EQ for detailed tonal adjustment

* Built-in chromatic tuner

* Notch filter to help control troublesome feedback frequencies

* Phase inversion for improved feedback management

* Volume control

* LR Baggs Element undersaddle pickup

The StagePro Element system currently retails for approximately £200–£220 when purchased separately, giving an indication of the quality of the electronics fitted to this guitar.

Whether you’re performing live, rehearsing or connecting to an acoustic amplifier or PA system, the TW15PROE offers excellent flexibility and control.

Finding electronics of this calibre in an all-solid acoustic guitar at £599 is particularly appealing.

Natural Satin Finish – Understated Elegance

The TW15PROE has a beautifully traditional appearance.

Its natural satin finish complements the solid spruce top and rich mahogany back and sides, allowing the natural character of the tonewoods to take centre stage.

The clean soundhole rosette, contrasting body binding, dark fingerboard and distinctive bridge give it an elegant, understated look.

The satin finish also provides a comfortable, natural playing feel.

It’s an attractive alternative to the high-gloss finishes typically associated with the current Sundance range.

B-Stock Condition – Small Cosmetic Marks

This guitar is being sold as B-stock due to two small cosmetic imperfections on the front of the soundboard.

These are small marks in the finish, positioned towards the outer edge of the top, and have been photographed clearly.

They are relatively minor and do not dominate the appearance of the guitar, but naturally prevent us from offering it as a cosmetically perfect example.

The rest of the instrument presents beautifully, with the satin finish and natural wood grain giving it a very attractive appearance.

Please study the detailed photographs, particularly the close-up of the two marks.

The B-stock condition is reflected in our exceptionally competitive price.

Why Can’t You Find This Guitar Online?

Because the TW15PROE never received a conventional retail release.

Our information comes directly from our Tanglewood representative, who explained that a small number were brought into the UK before the company decided to pursue a different direction for the Sundance range.

The model was never added to the normal online catalogue, which is why you won’t find the usual manufacturer product pages or retailer specifications.

This is not a guitar we’ve assembled or modified ourselves. It is a Tanglewood-built instrument supplied through the company’s dealer network, featuring the specification originally intended for this model.

Its unusual history makes it particularly interesting, but the real attraction is the instrument itself: all-solid construction, premium LR Baggs electronics and a high-end acoustic specification at a very accessible price.

A £1,199 Specification for Just £599

This was originally intended to sit at approximately £1,199 in Tanglewood’s acoustic range.

Thanks to its B-stock cosmetic condition, we’re offering this example at:

CHORDPLAY B-STOCK PRICE: £599.00

That’s £600 below its original intended retail price.

If you’re searching for an all-solid dreadnought with quality electronics and don’t want to spend upwards of £1,000, this is a particularly attractive option.

We’re an authorised Tanglewood dealer, with a large range of Tanglewood acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars available to try in our Darwen showroom.

You’re very welcome to visit, play this unusual Sundance Pro and compare it with our other models.

Only one available. Actual guitar pictured.
