Description

The Tanglewood Elemental Super Folk Electro Acoustic in Black is a versatile, comfortable guitar for new and developing players who want an instrument that is ready for lessons, home practice and the occasional open mic. Its Super Folk body delivers a balanced voice with enough presence for strumming while remaining focused and articulate for fingerstyle. A soft cutaway gives easy access to higher frets, and the onboard electronics let you plug straight into an amp or PA without fuss. Finished in a sleek black, it looks as smart on stage as it feels on the lap, making it a confident choice for budding songwriters and performers alike.

Compared with a basic entry level student guitar, this Elemental model offers a more refined playing experience. The compact Super Folk shape sits close to the body for better control, and the neck profile encourages relaxed hand position with a smooth, consistent feel up the fingerboard. A carefully braced laminated top pairs with sturdy back and sides for a lively, reliable tone that stands up to everyday use. Neat fretwork and a sensible factory setup help chords ring clearly and keep intonation in check, while the cutaway and tidy upper fret access support progression as your repertoire grows.

For UK tuition and school use, it is a practical, low maintenance choice. The stable laminated construction handles changes in classroom temperature more predictably, and the built in tuner makes quick tune ups between pieces effortless for students and teachers. The body size suits teenagers and adults, offering comfort during longer practice sessions without sacrificing projection. Plug in capability simplifies ensemble work, recordings for coursework and small performances, so you can move from practice room to stage with minimal extra gear. It represents strong value, providing the features you will need over several grades without demanding an immediate upgrade.

Features

Comfortable Super Folk body

The compact Super Folk body shape sits close to the player and strikes a sweet balance between comfort and projection. It is easy to hold for extended practice yet has enough acoustic presence to fill a room, making it ideal for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle alike.

Cutaway for upper fret access

A soft cutaway opens the way to higher frets so you can explore melodies, solos and chord extensions as your playing progresses. It adds practical versatility without increasing the body size, keeping the guitar comfortable for learners and experienced players.

Stage ready electronics with tuner

Onboard electronics with a built in tuner let you plug straight into an amplifier or PA for lessons, rehearsals and performances. Simple controls make it easy to dial in a clear, natural sound, while the integrated tuner speeds up tuning in noisy classrooms and backstage environments.

Smooth, confidence building playability

A slim, comfortable neck and tidy fretwork support clean fretting and relaxed technique. The sensible factory setup helps chords ring out evenly and makes progress more rewarding, especially for players moving beyond their first student guitar.

Durable black finish

The sleek black finish looks smart for stage use and stands up well to the knocks of everyday practice and school travel. It is an easy guitar to keep looking presentable, whether it lives at home, in the classroom or on the road.
