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.

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.
• 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.
