Ibanez Talman Series Guitars

The Talman was first introduced by Ibanez in 1994, and had a four-year run as an electric solid-body. After the discontinuation in 1998, there was a dry-spell before they were reintroduced as acoustic & electro-acoustic models. Kevin "Noodles" Wasseman, guitarist in Offspring, also famously had a run of signature Talman models, playing it almost exclusively both live and in the studio. The rarity of the electric version, aside from the Noodles signature model, earned the Talman a cult following.  

In 2015, the Talman was reintroduced as part of their new electric guitar lineup, and in the years that followed, it experienced something of a renaissance. Trends saw a shift towards guitars with vintage undertones; curvy bodies, low/mid-output pickups and simple controls offered the indie/alt-rock crowd the raw, untainted sound that they'd been looking for. 

With its offset body, 25.5" neck, and alder and maple as the primary tonewoods of choice, the Talman offers a brilliant twang reminiscent of the heyday of rock 'n' roll. Singlecoil pickups further accentuate the bright, snappy tone that the Talman is known for; polish it off with a series of striking yet timeless finishes, and you've got a brilliant alternative to the masses that'll stand out from the crowd!
