Whats the scoop on Tanglewood electrics?

[Hank-]

I saw a few of these online for new prices comparable to samick & cort stuff. So anyone come across these in person, are they better than the squire bullet or affinity series?

They probably make the set neck guitars in Korea, and the bolt ons in China, so they're probably the UK equivalent to Rondo and their SX and Agile guitars.

That said, they use Entwistle pickups, which are some of the nicer Artec manufactured pickups. (GFS, Dragonfire, and Guitarheads are others.) They're probably great sounding out of the box.

Cool, they seem to make a bunch of different stringed instruments. The pickups are intriguing, neo magnets.

MIK import instruments. Some copies of famous American designs. Some original attempts. Some signature models. e.g. Rossi and Parfitt signature Telecasters years before Fender offered any.

Some are Neos, others use ceramics or A5s. The Nemesis AFG humbucker is a hybrid with ceramic and A5, saw that in some of their guitars.
