The Talman series from Ibanez combines traditional respect with rebellious design and is aimed at electric guitarists who want to expand their sound repertoire with acoustic facets. With its striking double cutaway body, this hybrid acoustic guitar deliberately stands out from classic shapes and appeals to players looking for a distinctive look and versatile sound. A neck made of okoume, combined with a purpleheart fretboard, ensures high playing comfort and impresses both visually and sonically with its warm, characterful tone. The poplar burl art grain top made of basswood gives the instrument a striking grain, while the back and sides made of sapele provide a full-bodied, warm midrange and brilliant highs. The Ibanez under-saddle pickup accurately transmits the natural acoustic sound and is supported by the AEQ-2T preamp, which flexibly adjusts bass and treble frequencies and offers an integrated tuner that can also be used without a cable. The design is complemented by a purpleheart bridge, which enables direct, warm sound transmission, and user-friendly Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins, which provide a secure hold and make changing strings much easier.
