The Ibanez Talman TCY10E Acoustic-electric Guitar represents a forward-thinking, creative leap in design and tone. The TCY10E is a little bit acoustic and a little bit electric, with a double-cutaway, shallow-body design that makes it ultra-lightweight, portable, and easy to play. The Talman TCY10E features a spruce top with sapele back and sides for a rich blend of high end, balanced midrange, and touch of low end. A smooth okoume neck with purpleheart fingerboard offers wonderful feel and response. And when you’re ready to plug in, an Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner delivers stellar amplified acoustic tone. Both acoustic and electric enthusiasts here at Sweetwater have found many things to love about this unique hybrid instrument, and we're sure you will, too!





Best of both worlds





The double-cutaway design of the Talman will satisfy both acoustic and electric players, offering the kind of balance that's perfect for shredders and strummers alike. Whether you play sitting or standing, the patented body design of the Talman is ideal for hours of comfortable play. Plus, the deep cutaway lets you reach those extra-high notes up the neck with ease.





Everything you need to tweak your tone





So you can dial in your tone to your liking, the Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp features a 2-band EQ designed specifically for adjusting the bass and treble frequencies. And with a built-in tuner, you can tune while onstage quickly and easily.





Advantage bridge pins





The TCY10E also comes with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, which feature special bulb-shaped ends that make them easier to grip for removal. This special design also ensures the pins do not get pushed in too far, and they also keep your strings in place for solid tuning stability.
