I actually saw a Tanglewood acoustic with a vine neck at HoshinoUSA while me and Johns were there touring the facilty 2 years ago. We were with the repair shop guys going through a mystery stack of guitars that were on a skid. The Tanglewood was in a cardboard box. I took a picture of it and have it on a CD. I assumed it was a sample from a factory they were considering using to build Ibanez acoustics. I know they often get samples of other brand names because I purchased a few of them cheap.

There are some differences,now that ive taken a closer look.The end of neck is shaped,for one,knobs are differnt,color of course, Tail piece.Does the headstock actually read Tanglewood? I cant read it.Yes Freak- the garment industry is the same way.They get many samples from other Co.
