Review by a visitor on 28.5.2007




I bought this guitar in a garage sale for 100 bucks. Best deal in my life!

 
 
  Features  
 
Good overall sound. Use it with a Cs3 modified by a guy who called himself "the pedaldoc". The nick may look ridiculous but I sent him my Cs3 and it sounds great now with this guitar.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
As said above very easy to play guitar. Good sound and a very confortable neck make this very cheap guitar a great instrument.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Good quality instrument considering the price. You would normally have to spend a lot more money to get something like this.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Good product. Made by Ibanez so it is very easy to play and it looks difficult to break.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
Excellent instrument. Easy to play and it sounds great. It cost me 100 bucks...I still can?t believe I have this guitar for that money. You can get one in Ebay for about 200.

I bought my Ibanez Talman TCY0BK at a local pawn shop. It was like brand new and the strings were wound by a novice. Looked me me like it was never played.
Haggled the price down from 250 dollars U.S. to 200 with a soft gig bag type case thrown in.

 
 
  Features  
 
Itnulls a black electric/acoustic guitar. Bass, treble, and volume controls.
The tone is good, a bit bright when the guitar isnnullt plugged in an amp, but still quite a nice tone. Action is great, an electric player would like this especially with the double cutaway.Itnulls about 4" thick so itnulls quite light. Pickup and gain are good.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
The guitar performs as I expected it too. As I said earlier, a bit brite for my taste w/o EQ, but..... I play with a heavy pick and deep bass notes anyway, so I think everythings to brite. Action is simalar to my gretsch and gibson eletrics.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
No noise, no hum, warm tones. Easy to play, and lightwieght makes it nice for those long gigs.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
I gig live all the time. I have an Ovation, and a Yamaha Dreadnaught, both which are quite a bit pricer. I have started using this guitar 80 % of the time.
The guitar hardly ever needs tuning, and sounds good on a line in without a mic on the amp. I play stright thru the PA sometimes and never even break out my amp.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
For the 200 I paid for itnulls a great little guitar. If you are still banging on a piece of junk and are looking to move up to a decent affordable acoustic electric this would be a good choice. If you are a pro and need a guitar thats that has a good sound and , and low maintenence, good choice.

I bought this from www.music123.com. Music 123 is a great source to buy instruments and gear! I got it about two months ago, music 123 is an American company but still only took about a week to deliver. I paid about £200 pounds for it including p+p and tax.

 
 
  Features  
 
Itnulls an electro-acoustic guitar. Itnulls blue/black sunburst with volume bass and treble controls. Itnulls very clear when plugged in and slight mistakes are picked up on loudly. This Ibanez sounds better unplugged. Itnulls considerably light and pretty easy to play.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Like I said it picks up slight mistakes and stuff and sometimes needs to be tweaked to reach desired notes. Overall it plays beautifully and sounds pretty good, better than most of the cheap crap you get these days for the same price!
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
After playing a string it doesnnullt ring for very long, my only other proper experience with an acoustic guitar is a celebrity ovation, so i think you can guess with one sounds better, the celebrity.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
This is a strong guitar and hardly ever needs re-tuning. Inullve only ever adjusted the neck and stuff when i first got it, to adjust it to how I like.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
For an intermediate/advanced player of guitar this is a really, really cool sounding/playable guitar. I chose it because of the manufacturer, colour and price.
