Ibanez TQM2 Tom Quayle, Charcoal Black Burst Overview

Ibanez TQM2-CUF Tom Quayle Signature, Charcoal Black Burst

Features

Neck:
Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck
The S-TECH special roasted treatment increases the wood’s stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance of temperature changes. The neck is sealed with an oil finish, giving it the feel of a well-played guitar neck.

Fretboard:
Rosewood fretboard
Provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid-range.

Body:
Flamed Maple (4mm) top / Alder body
The Flamed Maple top displays a beautiful wood grain. The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance, and sustain.

Pickups:
Ibanez TQM Pickups
Tom Quayle and Ibanez developed the TQM-S single coil and TQM-H humbucker pickups. These pickups precisely reflect subtle playing nuances and produce a natural clean voicing that works well with various effect pedals. They are essential for achieving the “Tom Quayle signature sound.”

Bridge:
Gotoh® T1702B tremolo
Provides quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings. Its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm. The tremolo block and saddles are made of brass, facilitating better overall resonance.

Switching System:
dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch
Offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with a flick of the mini switch. One mode simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups.

Neck Joint:
Super All Access Neck Joint
Increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.

Nut and Frets:
Oil-impregnated Bone nut / Stainless Steel Frets
The oil-impregnated bone nut provides superior tuning stability and warm, rich resonance. Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords, and clear tone when playing single notes.

Body Contour:
Ergonomic rear body contour
A shallow body back contour and a big forearm contour make the guitar body fit the player naturally, increasing playing comfort. The AZ body has a deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing and sitting positions.

Machine Heads:
Gotoh® Magnum Lock machine heads w/H.A.P. (Height Adjustable Post)
GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads have an established reputation for tuning stability. The H.A.P.® (Height Adjustable Post) system allows for the adjustment of string posts for the appropriate tension of each string.

Side Dots:
Luminlay side dots
The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
