I have a TW 45 as I said above but also a TW 145 . essentially the same instrument . The only difference is that the more expensive TW 45 looks posher being all gloss , the TW 145 being cheaper has a satin/matt surface to the sound board and actually sounds  better .

Yeah, the one I got is the 'Naked' version. It has a canny sound already so I'm looking forward to how she opens up. 

They use the same pickups throughout the range of Faith guitars. It's really put a smile on my face.

My first guitar was a big Tanglewood acoustic. Later looked at what else was available and, slightly overwhelmed, decided it wasn’t worth trying to decide between brands so I’d just buy Tanglewood acoustics from then on. Freed up acres of brain space. Now have three Tanglewoods in service and broke the rule once for a really thin Ibanez. One of the guitars I regret not buying was a stained green Tanglewood telecaster with gold hardware but the rule doesn’t extend to electrics so the loss is of lesser consequence.

Crap photo. Quite like the Spanish headstock/tuners with steels. I can’t imagine ever buying a nylon strung guitar with them, or indeed one at all. Won’t do the squeals from Psychosocial.

Here is my newest addition, a road worn squire telecaster...I love it, it's taking a bit of getting used to as I've only ever really put lots of time in with my Gibson SG and the neck on the tele is a lot fatter. It sounds nice too as it has a custom pickups in it.

Hi Hodge I have one very similar to that ( its in the beginning of this thread ) I have small hands so it had a custom made neck ( all hard rock maple not a rose wood cap like yours ) . It has an ever changing fret board radius ( about 9 or 10 inches at the nut ) flattenig out to about 12 inch at the 12th fret . The back of the neck is a V section gradually softening to a shallow D . Got scatter wound PUPS but can't remember who made them now .

I have a LP . Mine is sorta Tobacco burst . I find the Gibson necks a bit wide for my puddies .  Got a early ES 175 with Gibson embossed " T " top PAT pending PUPS The neck on that is almost classical . Steve How has fingers with 8 joints that can press a million foot pounds ! 😁 Oh , I am 70 next birthday .
