Tanglewood TA4CE Azure Super Folk Foxglove Purple

This second hand acoustic guitar is in great condition

The Tanglewood Azure series is one of Tanglewood’s more visually striking lines, combining bold finishes with solid construction and built-in electronics. The TA4CE is the Super Folk cutaway electro-acoustic version in that series.

What Works Well

1. Striking Looks & Originality
   The Foxglove Purple finish is not something you see every day. It gives a statement aesthetic. If you're into guitars that stand out visually, this one delivers.

2. Good Hardware / Materials for the Price
   A quilted ash top is a premium touch, and pairing it with maple back & sides gives a balanced tone with clarity. The use of Purple Heart for fingerboard and bridge is attractive and durable.
   These choices elevate it above very basic electrics.

3. Comfort & Playability

   • The Super Folk body shape is lighter and more manageable than big dreadnoughts, which helps for long playing sessions or practice.

   • The cutaway gives decent access to higher frets.

   • Nut width of 43 mm is a comfortable compromise for most hands.

   • With a good setup, the action and fret access should be decent.

4. Decent Amplified Performance
   The built-in Tanglewood Premium Plus EQ gives you control when plugged in. For many live or recording uses, this will be “good enough,” especially for a mid-tier instrument.

5. Value / Feature Package
   For its price bracket, the Azure TA4CE offers a lot: bold looks, cutaway, decent wood choices, onboard electronics — a lot of bang for what you pay.

Sound & Play Impressions

• Acoustic (unplugged): Clear mids and highs, decent note separation. Fingerstyle and moderate strums should be quite musical.

• Plugged in: The onboard EQ will let you roll off highs or boost presence. It should hold its own in small-to-mid venues

The Tanglewood Azure TA4CEPU ( Foxglove Purple ) is a compelling instrument if you want something that marries visual flair with solid performance. It’s ideal for:

• Players who like something a bit different in looks.

• Those needing an acoustic with onboard electronics and cutaway for live or recording use.

• Intermediate players or gigging singer-songwriters who want more than a basic guitar without entering premium pricing.
