Tanglewood guitars - any one know anything about them?

[Archangelus]

My other half has bought a Tanglewood TD-8 Acoustic guitar for me to learn to play on. Now, we know very little about guitars, and am hoping that some kind soul could provide a little guidance.

Are they a decent guitar for the money, I think she's paid around £150 for it. It's apparently been recently voted the USA's top acoustic guitar, but that doesn't mean a lot - depends who's doing the voting.

The fact that it's £150 is not a huge issue, but I just want to make sure she's not been ripped off.

Helpfull guidance and comments would be gratefully recieved.

It's a decent guitar and price imo

Nice guitars for the price.

If you have a friend that plays guitar, then I'd get them to have a little tinker with the truss rod. Get it a little tighter hopefully, and get the action down a bit. Should make it easier to play.

I have a 5 string Canyon bass which is very nice for the money, I'm no expert but I've always heard good things about them.

Great acoustic guitars at every price range. You have nothing to worry about

I have the bowl-back electro-acoustic. Nice to play and looks good, especially for the money, but it won't be the last acoustic I buy. Excellent for beginners and intermediates though, and beyond to an extent. I'm currently on the lookout for something with a nicer tone, but that's mainly because the bowl-back of course has a smaller body. Not tried the standard shape.
