Well great. Something I just gotta have, ha. Never been really good with alternate tunings though and would probably just take it back to boring. But not without giving it a try first at least. And dang, that finish!

[@stevenashmore4522]

I got one recently and I really like it. I'm playing very varied stuff and it copes well with all sort of tones. I was surprised how weighty it can be, tonally, considering it's basically a Strat. I find the neck pretty chunky, but comfortably so. I've been using a couple of modern Charvels for the past few years, I love them, but this is happily finding its way into my playing. Also pretty versatile, as you can hear here. Great video.

[@Just-Michael]

Very cool guitar. Unique shape, nice colour, love the maple board, and it sounds great. I would play the hell out of something like that even though I don't care for Yvette's style of playing in the slightest.

Beautiful colour and style. It looks like a MusicMan guitar.

[@lance134679]

Every decision that went into the design of this Strat-style guitar seems spot on, from the pickups, to contoured heel, locking tuners, and small offset shape. I actually don't like the colour that much (as cool as it is objectively), but I could see Ibanez offering different colours if this is a hit, which I think it will be.

[@josephcaswell5729]

I like it. Reminds me of The Talman's from 20 years ago. Played 4 or 5 in shops then and liked all of 'em.

[@shaalis]

Cool shape and the sparkle green is refreshing. The neck is lovely and I like how they do no headstock break angle. But an SSS setup to me is just a softer looking stratocaster and a strat is easier to play at the higher frets. What I'd love to see would be a gold foil triple humbucker version of this. just that. I've never seen that.

[@lynx9149]

[@Chris-cf2kp]

I found a Talman a couple of months hiding in a used instrument store before Yvette released her updated version. I totally love the look and ergonomics of these guitars, I get why she adopted it so passionately. It sits so nicely between a telecaster and strat. They don't make them anymore! Can you believe that?

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

I want one with a humbucker in the bridge position. I’m all for more offsets in the world. The shape is kind of jazz masterish, but not, but looks right.

[@stevebon9688]

Hi Philip, what was the quality control like on that Ibanez ?. I had a problem recently Ibanez FRIX6FEAH Iron Label guitar. The first one had small gap in its construction, between the fretboard of a guitar and the neck at the top. This type of tear in the wood would only get worst in time. So, this went back. Second one that was sent out also had failing with quality control. As this had a marks underneath the coating and at the base of the body of the Ibanez FRIX6FEAH and a small dent which had just been painted over. And a minor mark at the top neck. Which has now put off any Ibanez. You don’t get these problems with all the Fender brands and Eppiphone guitars. The quality control on these are great.

Yeah. Given her fanbase is on the younger side of players I was hoping for something in the price range of the J. Mascis Squier Jazzmaster. Or maybe in the 600-700 range. Although, I *have* always wanted an offset with 3 single coils though. May have to wait for the used market. So glad to see this model though.

it was around in the 90s and came back and the past couple years. The old ones you could get with Lipstick pickups in SSS, two P90s, or two Humbuckers. All the current ones are based on strats or teles so far. They also have basses in this body style now that look amazing.
