Tanglewood Azure TA4CEHN – Super Folk Cutaway Electro-Acoustic, Quilted Ash, Honey Gloss

The Tanglewood Azure TA4CEHN is a Super Folk cutaway electro-acoustic designed to be easy to play, straightforward to amplify, and visually distinctive.

The Super Folk body is slightly smaller than a traditional dreadnought, which makes it comfortable to hold while still giving enough body for strumming and fingerstyle. The quilted ash top adds clarity and definition, so chords stay clear and individual notes stand out cleanly. Maple back and sides support that with a focused, balanced response that works well in both solo and band settings. 

A Purpleheart fingerboard and bridge (on current production) offer a smooth feel and stable platform for regular use. The cutaway gives practical access to higher frets without changing the feel of the neck, so players moving up the fingerboard don’t feel cramped. 

For live or recording use, the TA4CEHN is fitted with the Tanglewood Premium Plus system. This onboard preamp provides a clear, controllable signal with EQ and a built-in tuner, so you can plug straight into an amp or PA and adjust your tone on the guitar rather than relying on extra boxes. 

The Through Honey Gloss finish ties everything together: it highlights the quilted ash grain and maple body and gives the guitar a neat, consistent look on stage and in the studio. Overall, the Azure TA4CEHN suits players who want a comfortable cutaway body, a clear and modern acoustic sound, and reliable built-in electronics in a tidy, well-presented package.
