SOLD! Back to Japan, of all places!
-----
This is an amazing, rarely played, 1996 Ibanez Talman TC825 in the beautiful and rare aqua-blue sparkle finish!
Complete with a genuine USA Bigsby trem and a pair of killer Ibanez "Super 58" pickups, this retro-modern rocker was made for just one year in this amazing color! It features a quarter-sawn maple neck with a smooth satin finish, Gotoh locking tuners, 22 vintage frets (with excellent factory fretwork) and a gorgeous rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. The fit and finish is just what you would expect from a top-of-the-line, made-in-Japan model from Ibanez' "Golden Era"! You really can't touch this kind of quality outside of USA Custom Shop models from other companies. The pictures absolutely do not catch the depth of the metalflake blue finish or the contrast of the white pearloid accents (pickguard, truss rod cover, control knobs and tuner buttons) and chrome hardware against it......it definitely has the looks to match its tone!
As a player preference, the pickup selector was changed to a 3-way, but I will include an Ibanez 5-way, so it can be returned to stock configuration, if desired. The Super 58 pickups are a replacement set purchased from Ibanez (the original set was changed out for Seymour Duncans, of course!).
I've owned 3 blue sparkle TC825's (plus 2 silver ones) and this is the best of them! Tons of natural tone, excellent feel and a great player. It may be 16+ years old, but I'd still rate this "used" guitar a solid 9+ out of 10 for overall condition! Only a couple very minor marks if you really look for them. The chrome hardware is in great shape, the wood is trouble free, paint looks awesome and all 22 frets are excellent, showing almost no wear at all!
Shipping:[/B] Flat $35 to the lower-48 U.S. (sorry, no international shipping at this time).
Paypal preferred (must have confirmed shipping address or use "gift" option).
Seller references available upon request.
