[@benjaminfowler4513]

I've always wondered, what do the lower case letters in the tuning mean?

[@strangersinbedband9986]

@@benjaminfowler4513 because there is already a letter C and E in the tuning, lower letters are used to show its an octave higher, not the same pitch. Thats why standard tuning is EADGBe

[@newdirge9601]

But why would Ibanez discontinue the Talman outside of Japan instead of just simplifying the range? Such great guitars.

[@donttalktome4696]

It's even more strange when you consider that they have a talman bass line.

[@Arcadia6227]

@@donttalktome4696 yeah that baffled me. The shape seems so odd for bass compared to guitar

[@GOREMAXXX]

@@donttalktome4696 Acoustic talman line too, but the electric ones are a no go outside of Japan apparently. I'm sure if Ibanez was smart, they would bring them back in some form, seeing as they are pretty popular and there is demand for them.

[@DownWithTheCygnus]

@@GOREMAXXX they brought them back in the form of the new Ibanez Q series, the pickups have a little bit more highs and lows but otherwise the same. I recommend this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3bXZICtrtSra6c

[@newdirge9601]

@@DownWithTheCygnus I think Ichika only meant his Q signature reminded him of his ivory SSS Talman. The Q guitars are based on the shape of the S series, and all the pickups are newly custom built. Otherwise, they are a completely new idea for Ibanez. I disagree they'd fill in for a vintage-style series like the Talman, that is as chunky and heavy as a Tele.

[@goingferal7393]

5:23 anyway, here's emo wonderwall...

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

🤣

[@jakejohannsen6845]

I have an older Talman with Tele-style pickups and it's the best guitar I've ever owned. I've been craving one of these since the day they were announced and you're making it harder for me to resist...

[@hodge8947]

I managed to pick one up in white for £120 on FB marketplace, I really like how it sounds.. but the strings are falling off the neck (you basically can't use frets 1-3 on either e because the frets are so filed down) the intonation is horrendous and it has flat spots and sharp frets.. meaning to take it into a shop but scared it will cost more to put right than I paid for it. Did you get much done to yours? or did I just get unlucky?

[@jakejohannsen6845]

@@hodge8947 I'm happy to say mine was perfect out of the box, but it cost more than double what you paid. I'm guessing you just got one that's seen heavy use and needs a re-fret and set-up. It'll likely cost as much as you think, but in the end you'll end up with a good playing instrument. And the value of even the low-end Talmans has been creeping up, so the work would be worth it IMO

[@hodge8947]

@@jakejohannsen6845 Thanks so much for the reply! The frets have just been filed wrongly unfortunately, it hasn't had much use, but like you say at the price I paid I can hardly begin to moan! It's a second guitar currently as I play my PRS most of the time, but now I'm thinking about recording I'd love to have the Talman as an option.. may have to get it down the shop... I did consider just changing the neck for a tele neck (probs cheaper than a refet) but I don't want to lose the talman headstock!

[@masvader08]

@@hodge8947 for the price you paid you prob got one of the lower budget models that were made in indonesia! They more recently build ones were a prestige run that were made in japan! I do think you might have gotten a lemon though ive played both the prestige and the lower version one and the both played great obv the prestige one played way better but you get what i mean!!!

[@hodge8947]

@@masvader08 It has "made in china" on the back of the headstock. No idea the year or anything. I'll take it in to a shop n see what they say, honestly apart from the fret issue it plays/sounds and feels v nice

There are so many amazing signature guitars right now 🤩 Yvette, Mario, Erick, Tim, Scott have great signatures, and recently Ichika got a beautiful headless signature. So many great artist, and they're all with Ibanez 😂

[@nerimejenes]

[@Roxanneredpanda]

[@nerimejenes]

@@Roxanneredpanda We need!

[@redcomn]

Pretty hard man Yvette too used ac30 sound.

[@noyd4172]

Having that AC30 or AC10 platform is so important to her tone, and she's also used Oranges and maybe Fenders in the past, so in modeling those amps that's a versatile selection that all still centers around maximum twinkle. I'd also love to see what they do with the Warden compressor, boost, and chorus models (I'm thinking a hi-fi and lo-fi mode for the chorus) they would invariably need to complete the sound, even outside the delicious reverb textures and the analog delays that populate her sound. This would actually end up looking like the new Tim Henson Archetype and that is not a bad thing.

[@unknwnn2034]

Guitar Rig 6 has some of her own presets. You can try them, they're pretty cool

[@CJ-jh9ri]

I’m a Fender guy, but one day at a guitar store my good friend just bought me an Ibanez Roadcore and I gotta admit, it’s a great guitar. The neck is incredible.

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Nice 👍

I've tried the expensive one's and the affordable one's and they both played well, I first tried them years ago when they came with Lipstick pick ups

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Nice! First one I've tried. Probably the most comfortable guitar I have

[@riverkidsband4318]

I get to go see her live in October

[@GuitarCat629]

I think, the colors of sound of your playing in this video are matching the colors of the guitar.

[@redcomn]

Talman is the easiest guitar to play with, the body fits like a glove sitting and standing.

[@matthewagocs304]

Agreed. Definitely one of my favs out of the last 25 years or so

[@5eddie5]

Beautiful playing. Sounds lush. Congrats!

I recently bought one new *slightly damaged* and I LOVE it. You can't beat it for the price and of course I'm happy to support math rock in any way I can afford to. Get one!

Something sounds off with the high string (I think?) here. Sounds like its buzzing against something, like a sitar sort of whenever it's hit.

i rlly want the same white talman that ichika has. the green on this isn't quite wot I like.

Genuine question - why is a floating bridge guitar sold to an audience who changes their tuning every 10 minutes? Or am I missing something obvious?

How much does it weigh? I can't seem to find any retailers that have the weight on the spec sheet?

~7.7 lbs is what I saw it weigh once, but weight varies from individual guitar to guitar, so don't get attached to the number.

@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock so you have an only fans account 👹😮

[@MisterNiles]

I have an older Talman and I hate it. It was given to me. I believe it's a TC-420 (dude) so it may be made of weed. Blue with two hum bucking pickups. Maybe I've just never set it up properly and it's a great guitar. Was there a time when the model wasn't so good? Hmm. I just found one on Reverb and the description says that guy's (which looks just like mis and is probably of the same vintage, was a solid, not laminate body. He's only asking $399 for it, so maybe the earlier models are less desirable. Right now I have a synth pickup on it, so I can use my Boss Wavestation, which is essentially a hexaphonic fuzz. That way, I can sound way too much like Robert Fripp, Funny in the context of this video. I prefer Strats and usually get rid of all other guitars.
