History

Tanglewood Guitars was founded in London in 1988 and later moved to Biggin Hill, Kent, and opened additional warehouse space in Wetherby, Yorkshire. In 2005, the company began distributing their products in the United States.[4] Tanglewood Guitars received a sales award from MI Pro Trade magazine in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Tanglewood guitars are sold in more than 40 countries.[citation needed] The product range over time has diversified from acoustics, such as the TW line, through to many models and ranges. These include solid-body electrics inspired by solid body Fender (FST), Gibson (TE), or Rickenbacker (AR designs), hollow-body models inspired by the Telecaster Thinline or Gibson 335, and in-house designs such as the TSB range.
