Tanglewood TC2 Crossroads Travel Acoustic Guitar – Whiskey Burst Satin

The Tanglewood TC2 Crossroads is a small-body travel acoustic guitar that keeps the feel of a “real” guitar in a much more compact format. With an all-mahogany body, short 571 mm scale and Whiskey Burst satin finish, it’s made for players who want something easy to carry around the house or on the road, without dropping down to toy-like size or build quality.

It’s a handy companion for sofa playing, writing ideas, holidays, camps, studios or as a space-saving second guitar that’s always within reach.

Key Features

• True travel size, real guitar feel
  Compact body and 571 mm scale length (around 22.5") make it easy to carry but still familiar under the hands.

• All-mahogany construction
  Mahogany top, back and sides for warm, mid-focused tone that suits blues, folk, fingerstyle and rootsy strumming.

• Whiskey Burst satin finish
  Vintage-styled Whiskey Burst satin that looks classic, feels smooth and broken-in from day one.

• Durable, low-maintenance spec
  Eboncore/techwood fingerboard, engineered bridge and ABS nut and saddle for stable tuning and resilience to changing climates—ideal for travel.

• Crossroads heritage
  Part of Tanglewood’s Crossroads series, inspired by compact 1930s American acoustics: simple look, honest tone, sensible price.

Why Choose the Tanglewood TC2 Crossroads?

If you like the idea of a travel guitar but don’t want something that feels cramped or cheap, the TC2 hits a nice middle ground. The shorter scale eases the string tension a touch and brings the frets slightly closer together, but the neck still feels like a proper acoustic, so switching between this and a full-size guitar doesn’t feel strange.

The all-mahogany build leans naturally towards warm, woody mids with a bit of a vintage blues-box flavour. It’s not about huge volume; instead it’s about a focused, comfortable sound that works well for practice, noodling on the sofa, quiet late-night playing and quick recording ideas.

The more durable fingerboard and bridge materials, plus ABS nut and saddle, help it cope better with temperature and humidity swings than a more delicate all-wood build, which is exactly what you want from a guitar that might see car boots, campsites and overhead lockers. If you’re looking for a grab-and-go acoustic that doesn’t feel like a compromise, this is a very practical option.
