Tanglewood TE3BL Elemental Orchestra Acoustic Guitar – Solid Mahogany, Natural Satin (TE3BL)

If you’re searching for a comfortable, smaller-bodied acoustic with a warm, woody voice and strong note definition, the Tanglewood TE3BL is a great fit. The orchestra body shape is easier to hold than a dreadnought, making it ideal for longer practice sessions, couch playing, and recording—without losing the projection you need for strumming.

The big draw here is the solid mahogany top, paired with mahogany back and sides. That all-mahogany recipe gives you a focused, punchy midrange that records well and keeps chords clear, especially for singer-songwriter playing and fingerstyle. Visually, the blue/white pearl rosette adds a distinctive touch, finished off with a natural satin that feels smooth and lets the wood grain shine.

Key Features

Why Choose the TE3BL

• For players who don’t want a bulky dreadnought: the orchestra shape is a popular “do-everything” size—comfortable, balanced, and versatile.

• For warm, mix-friendly tone: mahogany is a go-to for clear mids that sit nicely under vocals and don’t get boomy.

• For a simple acoustic that looks different: the rosette detail gives it personality without turning it into a “loud” design.
