Tanglewood Guitars is a British stringed-instrument company founded in London in 1988 and now based in Biggin Hill, Kent, with additional warehouse operations in Wetherby, Yorkshire. Instruments are designed in the United Kingdom and manufactured overseas, primarily in China, with historical production in Indonesia and South Korea. The brand distributes to dozens of countries and began formal U.S. distribution in 2005.
The catalogue centres on steel-string acoustic guitars across a wide price spectrum, including the flagship Premier, Heritage, Evolution, Java, Winterleaf, Roadster, Sundance, and Discovery series, alongside the Crossroads resonator line. Tanglewood also produces classical guitars, bass guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, and guitar amplifiers. Its electric guitars are offered under the Northstar sub-brand, and related house brands include Sceptre, Enredo Madera, and Original Gig Bag.
Tanglewood is most often associated with value-oriented acoustics aimed at beginners and intermediate players, a positioning that has made it one of the UK's higher-volume acoustic guitar sellers and earned it MI Pro Trade sales awards in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

Their gear is featured by 20 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Peter Green, Dallas Green, and Chester Bennington.
