Ibanez TCY621-BOT

The Ibanez TCY621-BOT is an acoustic-electric guitar from the Talman series, featuring a distinctive Talman Double Cutaway body designed to provide an ergonomic playing experience with easy access to the upper frets. Its spruce top and sapele back and sides deliver a balanced acoustic character with clear articulation and a warm, full-bodied response. The 16th-fret neck joint and double-cutaway construction give the instrument a familiar feel for players transitioning from electric guitar to acoustic guitar, while its compact proportions make it suitable for practice, songwriting, recording, and live performance.

The guitar features a TCY-profile Okoume neck with a Purpleheart fretboard, 20 frets, a 650 mm (25.6-inch) scale length, and a 42 mm nut width. The 250 mm fretboard radius and 11 mm string spacing provide a comfortable platform for chord playing, fingerstyle work, and melodic passages. For amplified use, the TCY621-BOT is equipped with an Ibanez undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp with an onboard tuner. The preamp provides volume, bass, and treble controls, while the tuner can be operated without connecting the guitar to an amplifier.

The guitar features an Open Pore Black Out finish that gives the instrument an understated all-black appearance while retaining a natural surface texture. Black die-cast tuning machines with an 18:1 gear ratio provide precise tuning adjustment, while the Purpleheart bridge and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins provide secure string anchoring. The instrument uses .012–.053 gauge strings, a black multi rosette, and a 1/4-inch output jack, with the onboard electronics powered by a single 9V battery.
