IBANEZ TCM50FM
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.
Highlights
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.
Flamed Maple top
The Flamed Maple top creates an attractive visual profile and offers a bright and tight tone.
Sapele back and sides
Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.
Ibanez AP2 Magnetic pickup
The AP2 magnetic pickup perfectly reproduces an acoustic guitar's natural, warm sound.
Ibanez AEQ-2TM preamp w/Onboard tuner
The AEQ-2TM preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and a treble, 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.
