You mean like this? Yeah...I just happen to know of someone (me) that might be willing to part with one
Only modifications are upgraded locking tuners from Gotoh (same style and finish as originals) with original pearloid knobs
New set of "Super 58" pickups from Ibanez (I had a set of Seymour Duncan "Phat Cat" P90s in it for a while)
Top control knob hole is temporarily blocked off by pop-in plug (easily replaced if you prefer both control knobs)
I'd like to get $699 + shipping and I'll throw in a nice gig bag.
I've owned 3 TC825's and this is the nicest of all! Tons of tone and feel. Great quarter-sawn maple neck with a killer profile. Plus, it's one of the few that came with Gotoh tuners from the factory. Many TC825's were produced with Kluson-style tuners. And, you just can't beat the rare Blue Sparkle! The silver ones are far more common and simply pale in comparison when it comes to looks!

From what I understand, you could only get the lesser Talman models (the TC220, TC420, etc.) in left hand versions. Here's one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibanez-Talman-Left-Handed-TC-420-LH-Guitar-TC420-/320746442040
I've never seen or heard of a lefty TC825 (Bigsby, Sparkle finish, Made in Japan).
The rest of the Talmans are very nice players, but the 2XX and 4XX (and even most of the 6XX) series come up regularly and never bring more than $200-$350. They are a real bargain in their price range, though!
However, there is a big difference in refinement between the cheaper Korean models and the Japanese TC825! I'm a huge Talman fan, but having owned several different models, including 3 TC825's, there's a reason this particular TC825 is the only one remaining in my collection!
