Ibanez TCY10E-BK

The Ibanez TCY10E-BK is an acoustic-electric guitar from the Talman series, featuring a distinctive Talman Double Cutaway body that combines comfortable acoustic-guitar proportions with an electric-guitar-inspired appearance. Its spruce top and sapele back and sides provide a balanced acoustic response with clear articulation, useful for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The double-cutaway construction also provides convenient access to the higher frets, making the guitar suitable for practice, songwriting, live performance, and amplified applications. (Ibanez)

The guitar features an Okoume neck with a Purpleheart fretboard, 20 frets, a 650 mm (25.6-inch) scale length, and a 42 mm nut width. Its 250 mm fretboard radius and comfortable neck dimensions provide a practical playing feel for a variety of techniques. For amplified use, the TCY10E-BK combines an Ibanez undersaddle pickup with an AEQ-2T preamp and onboard tuner. The preamp includes volume, bass, and treble controls, allowing convenient adjustment of the amplified sound while the built-in tuner provides easy tuning on stage or during practice. (Ibanez)

The TCY10E-BK is finished in Black High Gloss and features white dot fretboard inlays, a black-and-white multi soundhole rosette, and chrome die-cast tuners with half-moon knobs. Its Purpleheart bridge is fitted with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins for secure string placement and convenient string changes. The guitar uses .012–.053 gauge strings and has a 1/4-inch output jack, with the AEQ-2T electronics powered by a single 9V battery. (Ibanez)
