The Tanglewood TRS5SE Smart Guitar is an electro-acoustic dreadnought guitar that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern amplified performance. It features a sloped‑shoulder dreadnought body with a solid cedar top paired with rosewood back and sides, providing warm, responsive tone with strong projection and balanced lows, mids, and highs. The neck is paired with an Eboncore fingerboard and typically carries 21 frets, while the finish is a natural gloss that highlights the wood grain of the tonewoods.

To support amplified playing, the TRS5SE comes equipped with the Enya SP series EQ system, allowing the guitar’s natural acoustic voice to be captured accurately when plugged into an amplifier or PA. This onboard preamp offers intuitive controls for shaping volume and tone and can make the instrument stage‑ and recording‑ready without external gear.

Hardware includes standard acoustic components such as a bridge with a compensated saddle and chrome‑plated die‑cast tuning machines, providing reliable tuning stability. The combination of premium tonewoods, balanced dreadnought construction, and professional‑grade electronics gives this guitar both strong unplugged presence and versatility when amplified.
