This is what Tanglewood say about the TM5 Metropolitan:

The Metropolitan Series TM5 is a robust, performance-ready acoustic guitar crafted for players who demand bold tone and lasting quality. Featuring the classic dreadnought body shape, this guitar delivers powerful projection and full-bodied resonance—ideal for vocal accompaniment, rhythm playing, or anyone needing a sound that can effortlessly fill a room. The dreadnought’s larger body produces a strong low end, balanced by crisp mids and highs, making it a versatile choice across genres and playing techniques.

At the core of the TM5 is a spruce top, a highly responsive tonewood known for its brightness, clarity, and dynamic range. Whether you're gently fingerpicking or strumming with intensity, spruce provides a balanced, articulate response. The back and sides are crafted from koa, a tonewood prized for its warm midrange, sparkling trebles, and visually stunning grain. Together, they create a sound that’s rich, vibrant, and harmonically complex.

To ensure long-term durability, the top, back, and sides are built using high pressure laminate (HPL), offering excellent resistance to environmental changes such as humidity and temperature fluctuations—without sacrificing tonal integrity. This makes the TM5 an ideal companion for frequent performers or players in varying climates.

The natural satin finish enhances the beauty of the koa grain while offering a smooth, low-glare surface that’s comfortable to play and well-suited for stage lighting. Visually elegant and sonically compelling, the TM5 stands out both in sound and appearance.

Whether you’re a seasoned gigging musician or an emerging player, the Metropolitan Series TM5 offers a perfect mix of durability, style, and tone. Its powerful sound, comfortable playability, and striking looks make it a reliable and inspiring instrument for any musical journey.
