Description

The Tanglewood TWJSFCE Java Exotic Super Folk Electro-Acoustic is a sleek, performance ready guitar for players who want inspiring feel, striking looks and confident stage sound. Its Super Folk body with a soft cutaway sits comfortably whether you are writing at home, rehearsing with a band or gigging in smaller venues, and the onboard electronics make it easy to plug in and play. Ideal for advancing learners, singer songwriters and experienced acoustic players alike, it delivers a balanced, articulate voice that suits fingerstyle, light strumming and everything in between, with enough projection for solo work and the clarity to sit neatly in an ensemble or mix.

Crafted with exotic timbers from Tanglewood’s celebrated Java collection, the TWJSFCE pairs a responsive solid cedar top with beautifully figured amara back and sides featuring a spalt mango centre wedge. The result is a warm, open acoustic character with sweet overtones and quick dynamics that reward a nuanced touch. A slim, comfortable neck profile and tidy fretwork support an easy playing action across the fingerboard, while stable die cast tuners and a precise saddle deliver reliable tuning and intonation. The cutaway ensures confident upper fret access, making melodic playing and chord extensions feel natural.

For tuition and school use in the UK, the Super Folk body size is a smart choice, offering a comfortable hold for teenagers and adults without sacrificing projection. Teachers will appreciate the built in tuner for quiet, accurate tuning in lessons, and the plug in capability means it is ready for assemblies, concerts and amplified practice without extra gear. As a step up from entry level student models, it brings a noticeable lift in tone, playability and finish quality, helping developing players progress faster and perform with confidence, while still representing excellent value for money and long term reliability.

Features

Comfortable Super Folk body with cutaway

The Super Folk shape offers a slim waist and a slightly reduced body depth that sits close to the player, making it comfortable for long practice sessions and confident performance. The soft cutaway gives easy access to higher frets for melodic lines and chord voicings above the 12th, all while retaining the projection and balance expected from a versatile steel string acoustic.

Exotic Java tonewoods for rich, open sound

A solid cedar top responds quickly to a light touch, producing a warm, expressive tone, while amara back and sides with a spalt mango centre wedge add visual flair and harmonic depth. This pairing provides a pleasing mix of clarity and sweetness that flatters fingerstyle and strumming, and develops character as the guitar opens up with regular playing.

Stage ready electronics with onboard tuner

With an integrated preamp, under saddle piezo pickup and a handy built in tuner, the TWJSFCE is ready to plug straight into an amp or PA for rehearsals, concerts and open mic nights. Simple EQ controls help you shape your sound to the room, reduce feedback and find clarity in a mix, so you can focus on playing rather than the tech.

Player focused setup and reliability

A smooth neck profile, neat fretwork and a considered factory setup support an inviting action that helps developing players progress faster and experienced guitarists play with ease. Stable die cast tuners and a well cut nut and saddle promote dependable tuning and intonation across the fingerboard, giving confidence at home, in the studio and on stage.
