Description

Description

: TCY10E

You've noticed by now that we at Ibanez hold a studious respect for tradition. That said, every now and then you have to hang a right where everyone else is turning left. The double-cutaway Talman is our rebel with a cause. Electric players looking to add an acoustic-guitar dimension to their arsenal go headover- heels for this distinctive hybrid.

****Product Features****

- Okoume neck
The Okoume neck provides greater playing comfort.

- Purpleheart fretboard
The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass.

- Spruce top
Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity.

- Sapele back and sides
Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.

- Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup
The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

- Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp w/Onboard tuner
AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.

- Purpleheart bridge
The Purpleheart bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

- Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.

I went to pick up this guitar directly in the store and by chance, it was the last one in stock! I also did well to go there to see with the saleswoman (very kind and welcoming) which case would best fit this guitar, and it was no easy task given the proportions and shape of the guitar. This one is also very pleasant to use, although as the previous comment mentions, the strings are a bit too far from the neck to have fun playing solos. Another small downside, due to electronic concerns (there is no on/off switch for the built-in pickup, which means that the Ibanez designers only allow tuning if a Jack cable is plugged in... This helps the battery last longer but can be annoying at times... The sound itself is magnificent for a guitar of this size, and plugged into a good amp, this guitar really impresses for its price. I therefore recommend it to everyone for its unbeatable value for money!... (Show more)

^^ I take back what I said! My tuner problem was solved after calling customer service! Actually, there is a subtlety with IBANEZ guitars! You absolutely have to plug the jack into the guitar to make the tuner work on battery!^^ (It's a kind of safety) So to summarize: - Guitar sound: 10/10 (Full sound, and very rock) - Guitar handling: Between 08/10 and 10/10 (Great for beginners or girls) - Aesthetics: 10/10 Super pretty! Even more than on the website! :-p - Sound on amp: 10/10 Tested yesterday on a friend's 120 W amp, it rocks! xD - Value for money: 10/10 For me, it's a guitar that combines many qualities for so little money invested! Go for it headfirst ;-)

Supersonic delivery!!! Clear and friendly phone support, 24 hours after the order I unpacked this pretty little guitar from its "sarcophagus" anti-"everythingwants". It sounds warm with its metal strings, surprising for such a small body. Plugged into my Mac, it shines incredibly, and you have to be careful with levels and effects feedback. It is easy to play, but I would still change the strings for a softer play. Crazy value for money, personally I find it better than some more prestigious (in theory) ones I've tried here and there. And what to say about Woodbrass service, really bravo :-D

I already had this model, in an older version, the quality/price ratio is, in my opinion, excellent, I find it even better, with the possibility to use the built-in tuner without plugging in a jack, as was the case with the previous model. It is an aesthetic guitar, very manageable, with a beautiful sound for this price range, whether plugged in or not, the neck is very comfortable, Ibanez is one of the best brands there is, in my opinion, being a user since 1990. No hesitation to have, this guitar has many advantages in hand.

I have stayed faithful to my classical guitar for over 20 years. A few months ago I dared to treat myself to this little gem. I discover a guitar of great beauty: it is narrower, and its rock-folk look adds a crazy charm. For me, it's a new sound: a particular resonance and a clean and generous timbre, a clear and metallic sound that makes you "vibrate". We all fell in love with this guitar that accompanies us in all styles of music. To the wise listener...

after the supersonic delivery!!! an anti-"everything" packaging I was pleasantly surprised to find that this little guitar was consistent with what I had seen on the site, it is pretty, light, it sounds really nice (you have to play it a bit roughly, but not too much) acoustically and plugged into my Mac, it shines incredibly, you even have to calm its ardor, crazy value for money

Value for money: 8.5/10! Observed flaw: the strings are a bit far from the fretboard on the lower part of the guitar, which makes solos complex (adjustable by replacing the bridge) Sharp highs, sustained lows. I couldn't manage to play reggae, it really seems more suitable for rock and blues! I am completely satisfied, as I was giving it to my niece who only likes rock!

very pretty, small, ideal for beginners, good sound (I was afraid of a dry and weak sound due to the small body, but not at all). Built-in adjustment (remember to plug in the cable for it to work) very practical. In short, nice object, nice finish, nice sound, ideal ergonomics for an acoustic, buy it with your eyes closed.

Superb finish. Its metallic sound suits me. Good electronics. The built-in tuner is accurate. Better sound once the original strings are changed. I put on extra light gauge strings.... Used to Fender Strat and not lumberjack hands... In short, unbeatable value for money. Fast processing and shipping. Perfect packaging.

Beautiful guitar! Great sound, slim neck... I'm well equipped for long hours of learning! Super fast delivery! Order placed Tuesday morning, and guitar received Thursday! Moreover, it was very well packed, clearly it won't be damaged during the trip. Thank you Woodbrass!! I will recommend it to those around me!

I'm picking up the guitar again (with difficulty) after 10 years of interruption. This little guitar is really perfect: pretty, light, a beautiful natural sound, enhanced on the amp. The quality seems to be there despite the low price. I recommend it. Now I just have to grow the calluses on my fingers :-(

Very good guitar, very light and very good finish. The string tension is not too strong and the acoustic is really good. Only one tuning machine seems a bit weak, but the rest is Ibanez quality. A buy with your eyes closed for its price, design and quality.

Thanks to woodbrass, always so serious, fast and efficient. This beginner guitar is ideal for girls, its body is relatively thin and the handling is easy. Really very surprised by the sound of this instrument. My wife is delighted. Many thanks to you!!!

very good guitar and the delivery is great. It has a built-in tuner. There is also an amp cable but it is not very durable. Its look is perfect and with it I can play all styles of music. Very good value for money, I highly recommend it.
