carosio Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Have been trying to value this Tanglewood acoustic guitar (with case), belonged to a late friend of mine. I have tried the maker's site twice but no response. Its type number is TWO J LH, all I know is that it's a "Jumbo" type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gormenghast Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 There are some Tanglewood guitars for sale on eBay, or maybe RichTone Music may be able to help. They're in Sheffield, Broad field Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Thanks, it wasn't so much the value, it was a better description of the model type as opposed to the number inside the guitar. On ebay there is a wide variation on values depending on the type, model etc. I have a friend who lives near Broadfield Road so might ask him to call in.

Norbert Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 TWO J LH doesn't appear to be a standard Tanglewood model name. The LH stands for left-hand, the J for Jumbo. Many Tanglewood guitars have a model number TW something, like TW170 or TW4. Could you take a close up of the inside label. Your model looks like a TW55, which is worth £250 to £500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck is mahogany with chrome tuners. The couple I've seen for sale were around £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mancmart Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 If it's solid spruce top and left handed, I wouldn't dream of selling it at £100, you'd be giving it away. If it's in good condition, some lefty out there will offer you considerably more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
