Is this signature guitar made in Japan or by the cort factory?

[@donkarnage6032]

You should try and check out one of the Paul Gilbert Fireman guitars since it seems you've been trying to do more Ibanez models lately. Ive got the first model with 3 single coils, its really nice. The new ones have mini humbuckers but you mentioned you liked Gibson style guitars and the Fireman guitar is one of Ibanez's nicer Gibson-like models.

[@bPcrazydave]

I have the one with the Kent Armstrong designed P-100s. Great playing guitar, but I’m going back and forth with the pickups. They sound P90-ish, but slightly more compressed. Remind me a bit of mini humbuckers, but output is a tad weak for my taste.

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

Socks I had one years ago with lipstick pickups. It was a great guitar. Mine didn't have a tremolo, and was sunburst. Trogly needs to learn about Ibanez guitars and stop being so anal about pickup routing and nit picking every single thing.

[@saltpeter7429]

I dig what she's doing. A lot of the new "super" player's focus on speed and down tuning. She is different. She makes the guitar sing beautiful notes, coincidentally, I devoted yesterday's stereo time to Mark Knopfler for the exact same reason. It's not the quantity, it's the quality. Just my opinion, I'm alway's wrong,so dont expect an argumentative defense. You win.

[@jordandangelo180]

I feel like it has a very playable neck, otherwise Yvette could never play those insanely creative alternate tuning, two handed tapping riffs at lightning speed This guitar sounds incredible and the videos I’ve seen of her and green sparkle looks super gnarly on camera especially in the light. Yvette, to me, is one of the best and most innovative guitarist in the world. So, if this guitar is good enough for her it’s more than good enough for me. I always think that she should get a lot more credit for the way she approaches the instrument and the music she creates. Andy Timmons also had one in his rig rundown if not mistaken.

[@gordonpenny1842]

[@NotBCT]

That "burnt orange" guitar she's playing isn't her signature series, it's an older Prestige Series Talman TM1730 with a custom finish, according to an interview she did before she got her signature series. Before she got her sigs, her mains were a Prestige TM1730 and a TM1702. Objectively speaking, the Prestige Talmans are a few levels above the current YY10 models both in terms of hardware and construction quality, in addition to not-atrocious fretwork. I have both (scored them when they weren't selling well and getting blown out at fire-sale prices) and looked under the hood, the older ones have much better workmanship compared to the YY10. Differences would be the neck profile (YY10 has a U-shaped neck, whereas the non-sig Talmans have a C-shaped neck), the different factory for manufacture (Cor-Tek for the YY10 and Fujigen for the Talmans) and the Prestige Talmans have been discontinued (although some places are selling NOS for around $100 more than the going price of a YY10, and that includes an Ibanez Prestige case). Closest you could probably find currently not-discontinued is the Ibanez J-Line TM730, which is made by Fujigen and is currently only sold in Japan. It's a damn shame Hoshino-Gakki sent the majority of their Signature guitars to Cor-Tek. Yvette deserves better than Cor-Tek-tier, but I suppose Hoshino-Gakki prefers the larger profit margin of a Cor-Tek over that of the Fujigen. What's even sadder is that the entry-level TM330 (also done at Cor-Tek) offered by Ibanez is much better QC and quality-wise than what they cobbled together for Yvette, and only costs a third as much.

[@Evasiontherapy]

Hell yeah, she's one of my favorite guitarists!

Even in Japan it’s hard to find....apparently they’re making it again but I guess Ibanez thought “we made this because everyone in 90s hated shredder guitars....but people like metal guitars again so we can discontinue this right?”

Yvette Young is incredible, wasn’t expecting an appearance. They are great guitars, and they do a good job of being clearly inspired by the classic T&S designs without being straight up ripoffs. Obviously they can rip, too.

She started Piano I think which elevates your guitar playing a whole new level. She also said one time starting Guitar as an intro to music is not good, I agree on that since it took me a while to understand Stable music theory which is must needed if you're going to play Any Classical instrument

"being a Les Paul player I've never found Stratocasters super comfortable" Genuinely? 🤔 I can see how Gibson fans might dislike single coils and 7 inch radius etc fender traits, but even they tend to agree a slab sided square cornered boat anchor body is less comfortable than a sculpted lighter one?

[@smirgyjoker2484]

I'm a bassist, and I've played a Epiphone Les Paul bass and a Squire P-Bass, and I prefer a Squire P-Bass for sitting comfort but I like the Les Paul for standing. For me, the Les Paul requires good sitting posture to be comfortable.

[@Vichedges]

I've always played LP, I've never thought they were uncomfortable. I literally never even thought about "comfort" when playing a guitar until I heard other people (usually Fender players) complaining about it. My first real guitar was a Strat too. I never thought it was "super comfortable" or anything. For the most part a guitar is a guitar. They feel different but except for my dreadnaught acoustic I've never found any guitar to be "uncomfortable" to play.

[@timothymcnaughton531]

There's the body carve, the strap button position, the smaller body, the back angle on the the bridge/neck, the height of the strings off the body, the different feeling bridge. And finally, volume knobs that DON'T GET IN THE FUCKING WAY!

[@mrz80]

For me it's a neck-tilt issue. Most bolt necks the neck comes straight off the instrument, and after a while my left wrist starts hurting. LP-like guitars with the neck tilted back a few degrees are much more comfortable for me.

[@smirgyjoker2484]

Yvette has a great vibe and honest story how she got into guitar. Worth finding and watching. As an owner of a pair of "modern" Talman guitars (and a short bass), I can say the shape is very comfy and natural to use. And I love the headstock shape. The neat things is that you can find custom pickguards and customize for your own look. My TM330M-TFB, aka Tri Fade Burst that essentially is this same S style model without the great SD52 pickup upgrade. The other is my fav, the TM302BM-MST, or Mustard Yellow (aka TV Yellow), a T style, where I converted it to TM303M spec (check the Ibanez wiki), with a custom pickguard and third pickup in the center position and it's own blend dial. Yes, some routing was required. Glad to see the other tweaks to her signature model.
