Ibanez TM302-IV

General

For anyone who loves offset guitars, the Ibanez Talman models are definitely worth a look. Where other manufacturers often deck these kinds of guitars out with humbuckers or P-90-like soapbar pickups, Ibanez chose a different path. For the TM-302 in an immaculate Ivory finish, they sought inspiration from the famous TE-style models. It features a feisty pickup at the bridge, and a slightly more mild-mannered one at the neck, offering vintage-style twang in a refreshing new package.

Know your classics

With an alder body and a maple neck, Ibanez follows a tried-and-true recipe for a full sound with tight bass, rich mids and sharp trebles. Furthermore, the TM-302 features a rosewood fretboard that adds a warm touch to the overall sound. All in all, it's a great base for the two Ibanez single-coils.

Modern comfort

Naturally, Ibanez ensures that the Talman is comfortable to play. For instance, the body features Ibanez's own fast access heel, that allows for easy access to the highest frets. The shape of the headstock also shows off the instrument's clever design. Take a closer look, and you'll notice that the strings run from the tuners to the neck in a virtually straight line. Not only does that help improve tuning stability, it also makes performing string bends a bit easier. Clearly , the Ibanez TM302 is nothing short of a modern classic!
