Alder Body with an IFX-PRO Fixed Bridge

Constructed from Alder for its body, the Talman produces a full-bodied tone that is strong enough to carry with it plenty of sustain. Delivering beefy mids, excellent lows and sizzling highs that aren't too harsh, the TM1702M is an excellent sounding guitar that brings with it the classic tones of early 90's Ibanez guitars with the innovations of modern models. Also situated on the body is the IFX-PRO bridge that brings with it exceptional intonations thanks to its six individual string saddles.

Talman Classic-Plus Maple Neck and Fingerboard

The Talman features a Maple neck and fingerboard to provide brightness to the guitars tone and cleans up some of it roughness, whilst adding sizzle to the highs and some firmness to the lows. With a Talman Classic-Plus "C" shape to help accommodate for sliding players and allows for a quicker playing style, the guitar also has a bone nut for some added sustain and a fast access neck joint to provide the ability to reach the higher frets with ease.

Seymour Duncan Pickups

The Ibanez features a pair of Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups, with one situated at the bridge and the other at the neck, to produce a classically sweet tone that has plenty off sustain. Even when subjugated to a distorted amp, the pickups are versatile enough to produce enough responsiveness to adjust the tone to something clean and with a softer attack. Along with the pickups comes controls to adjust the volume and tone and a 3-way selector switch to allows for either pickups to be used together or individually, making the TM1702M excellent for country, pop, blues or classic rock.
