Introducing the Crossroads TWCRO guitar, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and tonal excellence that embodies the essence of traditional acoustic music. Designed with the discerning musician in mind, this guitar combines timeless aesthetics with superior materials to deliver a rich and resonant sound experience.
At the heart of the Crossroads TWCRO lies its distinctive orchestra body shape, meticulously crafted to offer a perfect balance of comfort and projection. This elegant silhouette ensures a comfortable playing experience, whether you’re performing on stage or practicing in the comfort of your own home.
The top of the TWCRO is constructed from high-quality mahogany, a choice revered for its warm and responsive tonal characteristics. Known for its ability to produce deep, rich lows and articulate highs, mahogany infuses the guitar with a distinct sonic personality that’s ideal for a wide range of playing styles and musical genres.
Complementing the mahogany top are the back and sides, also fashioned from the same premium mahogany wood. This carefully selected tonewood not only enhances the guitar’s overall resonance and sustain but also contributes to its stunning visual appeal. With its rich, whiskey-brown hue and subtle grain patterns, the mahogany back and sides add an element of natural beauty to the instrument’s aesthetic.
The Crossroads series pays homage to the style and sound of classic instruments from 1930’s America.
Michael Sanden selected the timbers, making the tops a precise measurement so they flex and respond to the players attack. He then braced the instrument with his own patterns to give each guitar its own personality. He wanted to make a guitar that would have the sound that any musician, professional or amateur could appreciate. To make the guitar look authentic to the 1930’s era, Michael added a dark stain to the timbers that we call Whiskey Barrel to make the Crossroads look historic and simply elegant.
