Ibanez - TQM2-CUF Charcoal Black Burst Flat Tom Quayle Signature Japan + Etui

Ibanez designed this guitar around an alder body that offers a bright, rich sound spectrum, ideal for articulating the fast phrases of Tom Quayle's legato playing. The 648 mm scale ensures balanced string tension and a well-defined attack, as if each note breathed a little more than the last. The S-TECH steamed maple neck, oiled and sculpted into an 'Oval C' shape, provides remarkable stability and a velvety feel that literally glides through the fingers. The Super All Access joint further enhances the fluidity of access to the treble, giving the impression that nothing stands in the way of creativity.

In terms of sound, TQM2-CUF Charcoal Black Burst Flat uses TQM-S and TQM-H pickups, developed with Tom Quayle to faithfully reproduce the subtleties of touch. The positions of the dyna-MIX9 system, combined with the Alter Switch, multiply the textures: humbucker, single coil or hybrid combination, everything is linked on the fly. This network of options transforms each change of position into an instant exploration of a new tonal universe.

The Gotoh T1702B tremolo features a brass block and bridges for ample resonance and effortless sustain. Its quick-fit construction simplifies arm assembly, while maintaining an exceptionally fine articulation. The strut remains stable even under heavy use, thanks to Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners with adjustable post height. This bridge-mechanics duo forms a veritable mechanical backbone, combining tuning precision and dynamic comfort. The overall coherence of the whole gives the impression of an instrument 'tuned to breathe' at the rhythm of your playing.

Under floodlights or in a dark room, the Luminlay markers take over to guide your movements with constant legibility. The stainless steel frets guarantee exemplary longevity and immediate response, balancing smoothness of glide and clarity of attack. Every detail, right down to the oiled bone nut, contributes to long-lasting accuracy and comfort that can be felt right down to the left hand.
