Review Tanglewood Sg
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 26.12.2004




i bought my SG about a year ago, for around ?230 with amp, i bought it froma local guitar shop "beat nullnnull track" it was new but i think may have been tested by a few people.

 
 
  Features  
 
for the first hour or so i found it good, no buzzing etc, but after a while the strings started changing and became untune, there was a bit of buzzing, but i decided to get a different set of strings and it was ok, no buzzing atall!!
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
like i said compared to guitars such as fender strat, and epiphone it is sometimes a lot worse, but is a lot better in other areas, for example i found the epiphone was good but the sound seemed unbalanced, whereas the tanglewood was not, and compared to the strat? well what can i say, there was no comparison due to the sheer greatness of the fender
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
very loud it doesnt perform too well but at a decent level its very good, its a load better than a lot of other guitars but also a lot worse to others, id rate it to mid-top level
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
After a year the guitar is still going strong, the strings have needed changing once but most do, infact id say its better than good, its a sturdy good guitar which would be suitable for gigs, however i found that when i put my amp up to full volume there was a large amount of buzzing, whereas on my friends epiphone sg there was no buzzing
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
The reason i chose the specific sg was because its a very attractive guitar, and when i played it was easy, the strings wernt too close together, the neck was easy for me to hold, it has a very nice varnished finish and my deep red colour makes it look good, overall id say a very nice guitar, but may be a good one for beginners who are willing to pay a medium amount of money.
