Ibanez’s Talman series guitars are quite distinctive in their look. Like the haircuts of our epoch, they are fashionably asymmetrical, though one suspects they’ll have more staying power than your standard hipster ’do—enough staying power for Ibanez to offer Talman series basses, as well as this Talman-series TCM50 acoustic guitar.
With its figured ash top alongside its mahogany back and sides, this instrument offers balanced tone. Of equal note is its feel, which is designed to offer the qualities of an electric guitar in an acoustic format. Indeed, this axe is great for electric players looking to venture out into the acoustic world without tweaking their style too much.
A 25.5" scale mahogany neck gives you a rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets. An AP2 Magnetic pickup and an AEQ200M preamp are on hand to amplify your instrument. With a two-band EQ in the pre, you’ll be able to sculpt your tone on stage. Other solid appointments abound, such a rosewood bridge with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, and chrome die-cast tuning machines.
So, if you’re looking for a stylish acoustic guitar with the spirit of an electric—and an instrument with a marbled, deep blue finish to boot—check out this axe.
