Ibanez TCY20 Talman Customer Review

Overall:

(see rating details)

The only other reason to buy another guitar would supplement this Ibanez, you're going to like playing this Talman and keep it around for a long time. I looked into Morgan Monroe and Talkamanie for their double cut electric-acoustics, and came up with this one instead. It was among the first I looked at and then after continual serching became the favorite.

Sound

Thin bodied guitars are still in their own category for sound they can't compete with full bodied guitars yet, and it's not really that bad as an acoustic but when plugged in over a system I've gotten great results.

Features

For what it has Ibanez did a good job of putting it all together. The new ash top and sides sounds much better than the TCY10 out of Spruce and Mahogany.

Quality

Perfect conditon when recieved and have high hopes of keeping it this way. 1 Day shipping through UPS, boxed well. The finish makes this guitar that much more likable: more guitars should have a violin finish. The ash also took to the stain well not just the high gloss makes it look good but the wood used is beautiful.

Value

For thinbody, double cutaway, electric-acoustics it's a great buy.

Manufacturer Support

No problems, their customer service line is helpful.

The Wow Factor

The aesthetics are amazing from the eliptical sound hole with the inlays, and finally the gorgeous violin finish and the grain pattern from the ash wood this gutar attracts people to whomever is playing it.
