Product information

Product no: 9000-0023-7920

General

A full-size Dreadnought body can be a little cumbersome from time to time, due to its impressive size. Besides, it can make transferring from an electric to an acoustic model more difficult. Luckily, there are plenty of manufacturers that make acoustic guitars with a more manageable size and a comfortable electric-style neck. Ibanez, for instance, has a number of Talman models, including this Talman TCY12Y Open Pore. It has all the trademark Talman features, like the asymmetrical mahogany body and the 25.5" scale length. With its Open Pore finish, this Talman produces quite an impressive volume, despite its compact size.

Talman Body

The characteristic offset Talman body was designed in the early '90s. At the time, however, pointy metal guitars were omnipresent, so the Talman didn't do too well and was quickly taken off the market. In retrospect, that wasn't such a smart move, as the quirky Talman only grew more popular as time progressed. Many years later, Ibanez rightly decided to finally bring the Talman back. With its asymmetrical double-cut body, you'll have easy access to the higher frets, and it's also very comfortable to play.

Construction and hardware

The Talman TCY12Y has a body made entirely of laminated maple, which offers a rich, warm sound that is further emphasised by the maple neck's rosewood fretboard. As for the electronics, the Talman has an Ibanez Under Saddle piezo pickup, combined with an AEQ-2T preamp with a built-in tuner. The preamp even has a built-in 2-band equaliser and a volume knob. In short, with this talented Talman, you'll be equally well-prepared for a campfire singalong or a professional stage performance!

Ibanez TCY12E OPN Talman Open Pore electro-acoustic guitar

Ik ben heel tevreden met deze gitaar. Hij is licht, speelt makkelijk en nodigt ook dankzij de vormgeving uit om m een mooie plek in de kamer te geven en m er regelmatig bij te pakken. Het geluid komt ondanks de kleine klankkast goed over met een warme klank en speelt met fingerpicking ook zacht genoeg om onze boven slapende peuter niet wakker te maken. Al met al is deze gitaar precies waar ik naar op zoek was!

Ibanez TCY12E OPN Talman Open Pore electro-acoustic guitar

Nette gitaar. Kleur is erg mooi. Fijne smalle hals met matte afwerking. Klinkt prima. Bij nek wat lijmresten zichbaar, maar dit was makkelijk weg te halen. Zeker het geld waard.

Ibanez TCY12E OPN Talman Open Pore electro-acoustic guitar

Ik heb deze gitaar nu al 3,5 jaar en heb er nog steeds plezier van!

Het ingebouwde stemapparaatje werkt goed alhoewel ik liever een extern stemapparaatje gebruik.

De gitaarhals is wat smal maar voelt erg prettig aan tijdens het spelen, ook is het hierdoor makkelijk om snel van akkoorden te wisselen. Wel heb ik de hals wat rechter gezet.

De gitaar zelf ziet er erg mooi uit. Jammer dat de foto op de listing dit niet heel goed laat zien.

Een hele goede aankoop!

Ibanez TCY12E OPN Talman Open Pore electro-acoustic guitar

Heb de gitaar ingekocht voor een klant, uit de verpakking speelklaar! Speelt hartstikke goed, heb de curve iets minder hol gezet maar stond echt al okay! Stemapparaat werkt goed, element klinkt goed en de gitaar is qua sound echt in balans; prijs/kwaliteit een topper!!!!!!!!

Ibanez TCY12E OPN Talman Open Pore electro-acoustic guitar

Prima gitaar. Mooie kleur. Één scherp fretje, maar die is snel glad gevijld.
Intonatie en actie is perfect. Speelt soepel en snel.
Voorversterking en ingebouwd stemapparaat zijn prima.

Veel gitaar voor weinig

Ibanez TCY12E OPN Talman Open Pore electro-acoustic guitar

Super mooie gitaar , super sound over de P.A heerlijke hals en akoestisch ook erg goed...Kortom voor dat geld is er gewoon niets beters en hij kan zich zekers meten aan de veel veel duurdere gitaren!
