Ibanez produced the TCY10EBK as part of the Talman Series, positioning it as an electro-acoustic with a distinctive double cutaway body form — a departure from the conventional dreadnought or orchestra shapes common to the acoustic market. The instrument carried the Talman line's characteristic blend of acoustic construction and electric-guitar ergonomics, finished in Black High Gloss.
The body was built with a spruce top over sapele back and sides. The okoume neck carried a purpleheart fretboard and a matching purpleheart bridge, with white dot inlays and a black and white multi-layer soundhole rosette. The nut and saddle were plastic, and the bridge accepted Ibanez Advantage pins. Tuning was handled by chrome die-cast machines with half-moon knobs. The nut width measured 42mm, the scale 650mm, and the neck profile ran 21.5mm thick at the first fret, tapering to 23.5mm at the seventh, with a 250mm radius fretboard. For amplified use, an Ibanez undersaddle pickup fed an AEQ-2T preamp with an onboard tuner, outputting through a standard quarter-inch jack. Factory stringing was .012–.053, set to standard E-to-E tuning with 11mm string spacing.
Owners requiring setup work, saddle or nut replacement, or help sourcing compatible electro-acoustic parts should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with acoustic-electric instruments.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
