Ibanez produced the TQM1NT as part of the TQM Signature Series, a line built around a named artist collaboration. The model carried the natural finish indicated by its NT designation and was positioned within Ibanez's signature artist catalogue.
The guitar was constructed with an alder body and a monkeypod top, paired with a roasted maple neck and roasted maple fretboard — both processed using Ibanez's S-TECH WOOD treatment. The fretboard carried abalone dot inlays and jumbo stainless steel frets across a 305mm radius. The nut was bone, cut to a 42mm width, widening to 56.4mm at the 22nd fret. Neck thickness measured 20.5mm at the first fret and 22.5mm at the twelfth. Scale length ran 648mm (25.5 inches). A Gotoh T1802 tremolo bridge handled vibrato duties at a 10.5mm string spacing, with chrome hardware throughout. The pickup complement comprised a Seymour Duncan Hyperion SSS/SSH arrangement — passive Alnico single-coils at the neck and middle positions and a passive Alnico humbucker at the bridge. The guitar left the factory strung with a .010–.046 set in standard E tuning.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Gotoh T1802 tremolo, Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups, and bone nut are all identified components with established aftermarket availability; a qualified guitar technician can advise on direct replacements or compatible substitutes.
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.
