SUNDANCE PERFORMANCE PRO SERIES

TANGLEWOOD’S SUNDANCE PERFORMANCE PRO SERIES IS THE CULMINATION OF DECADES OF GUITAR BUILDING EXPERTISE AND RESEARCH. SWEDISH MASTER LUTHIER MICHAEL SANDEN HAS DESIGNED TANGLEWOOD’S NEW FLAGSHIP MODELS, BOASTING ALL SOLID WOOD COMBINATIONS AND SUMPTUOUS FEATURES ON SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR AND ICONIC ACOUSTIC BODY SHAPES IN GUITAR HISTORY.

X70 TE

The All Solid Wood Sundance Performance Pro X70 TE model is a traditional, hourglass figured Orchestra bodied guitar. The Orchestra’s classic hourglass figure means it sits comfortably on the knee, endearing it to players of folk and other fingerpicking-heavy styles of music. The shape ensures it had the perfect balance between playing and comfort. It features a hand selected premium AAA grade solid Spruce top, coupled with genuine Solid Mahogany back and sides.

Hall of Fame luthier Michael Sanden put together a special bracing pattern for the TW70 TE, which features traditional quarter sawn spruce in a tapered style, using a combination of X bracing and fan bracing. This arrangement recovers an outstanding flexibility and tonality from the AAA grade kiln aged solid spruce top, creating a much more stable top than standard bracing. The drawn out harmonic sustain and evenness of tone are testament to Michaels bracing system for sure.

Michael Sanden hand selected the solid spruce as it has a tone that makes it a very good ‘all-rounder’. Using a new kiln drying technique called Torrefaction, the TW70 TE has been created with unique sound characteristics that replicate a well loved vintage instrument that has been played in for over 30 years!

First, the wood is kiln-dried conventionally to a moisture level of 6 to 10 percent. The wood is then “cooked” in a torrefaction kiln at a high temperature while controlling atmospheric moisture and oxygen levels. After the moisture level is taken to zero percent, the wood is placed in a conditioning chamber where the level of moisture is raised to 3 to 6 percent. The resulting wood boasts greater stability—especially beneficial as it’s exposed to atmospheric moisture during the life of an instrument—due to the closure of the cells when the water and sap is released from the wood.

“The wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable, it’s as if the wood is pre-aged.” Says Master designer Michael Sanden, “The process makes the guitar feel like a favourite old model that’s been played in daily for the last 20 years… it really does open up the spruce to that degree.”

The solid mahogany used for the back and sides is a dark wood with a tight grain. The mahogany’s density can add great projection to the guitar, adding warmth, but with definition. The combination of spruce and mahogany is one of the most popular, because it offers a tone that is very balanced, but versatile, lending itself very well to most musical styles. Besides serving to form the enclosure of the soundbox, the back and sides of the guitar also act as a sympathetic resonator whose oscillations contribute greatly to the harmonic mix.

The C-shaped profile Mahogany necks are constructed with a traditional dove tail join and the Mahogany itself provides excellent longitudinal strength. The smooth comfortable oval profile works extremely well for all playing styles.

The chrome Grover buttons were chosen as Grover are recognised worldwide as industry leaders for high-quality machine heads.

Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze 12-53 Light E16052 Acoustic Guitar Strings were selected for the Sundance Performance Pro range. Phosphor bronze strings offer the most sensitive, expressive tone that brings out the very best in guitars—virtually taking them to a higher level of play. However, that tone can be short-lived. Elixir Strings has solved this classic conundrum by applying an ultra-thin layer of NANOWEB Coating to protect the string’s windings hence preserving the coveted phosphor bronze tone. Many players prefer the rich, textured tone of phosphor bronze strings. These Elixir Strings capture the sweet spot of that unique phosphor bronze tone and extend it 3-5x longer than conventional strings.

The guitar is finished in a high gloss, violin sunburst, polyurethane finish, which gives it a vintage, classic look and feel.

About Us

Our Story – GIG Guitars

Established May 2019

GIG Guitars opened its doors in May 2019 with a simple mission: to help musicians find the right instrument—whether they’re just starting out or decades into their musical journey. Located in the Glen Innes Highlands, NSW, we began as a passion project and quickly became a trusted name for quality guitars and gear across Australia.

From day one, we’ve offered a diverse range of new, used and vintage guitars, along with string instruments like banjos, mandolins, and ukuleles. We also stock amps, tuners, pedals, PA systems, mics, recording bundles, and more—everything a modern musician needs.

Since 2019 – Guitars and Gear for Everyone

Our collection has grown to include:
Acoustic, electric, bass, classical, hollow-body, and jazz guitars
Left-handed models and beginner packs
Accessories including stands, straps, strings, tuners, and pedals
Studio gear like microphones, headphones, and mixers
Reconditioned used and vintage gear from trusted sources

We represent respected brands like Aria, Danelectro, Dunlop, Grover, Remo, Redding, Snark, Xtreme, Takamine, Tanglewood, Hagstrom, Sigma, and more.

A Personal Buying Experience

We believe choosing an instrument should be hands-on and emotional. That’s why our in-store experience is built around the senses:

See – Appreciate its shape, colour, and character
Touch – Feel it in your hands, test its weight and comfort
Hear – Play freely and explore its sound in a relaxed space

Our team encourages you to look beyond labels and focus on what truly suits your playing style and musical goals.

A Community Built Through Music

Since 2019, GIG Guitars has become more than a shop—it’s a space for connection. Local musicians, students, and pros regularly drop in for a chat, jam, or open mic. We host and support community events and are proud to provide instruments for local causes.

“We have some very talented local artists that meet at our store for open sessions. We love seeing them learn from each other.” – Rico

Meet the Founder – Rico

The heart behind GIG Guitars is Enrico—known to all as Rico. His musical journey began at 8 years old when he picked up his uncle’s acoustic guitar. After moving to Australia in 1984, he developed a deep love for classical, rock and blues, inspired by artists like INXS, Split Enz, and Cold Chisel.

By 2019, Rico had a personal collection of 50+ guitars and, with a little encouragement from his wife, began selling a few. Demand grew—and GIG Guitars was born.

“The only guitar I regret selling was a 1979 Fender Strat Hardtail. It turned heads every time we played it in-store.” – Rico

Today, Rico still plays, collects, and supports artists who visit Glen Innes, including touring bands like Murphy’s Pigs. His passion remains the same: help people fall in love with music—one instrument at a time.
