Ibanez TCY10LE Talman Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Black

Ibanez holds a studious respect for tradition, but every now and then you have to hang a right where everyone else is turning left. The double-cutaway Talman is Ibanez's rebel with a cause. Electric players looking to add an acoustic-guitar dimension to their arsenal go head-over-heels for this distinctive hybrid.

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 guitar.

- 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 Undersaddle Pickup: Accurately reproduces the acoustic nature of the guitar.

- Ibanez AEQ-2T Preamp with Onboard Tuner: The AEQ-2T preamp is specifically designed to adjust bass and treble frequencies, 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.
