Best Acoustic Electric guitar for the $$$$
By: Wes D.
Submitted: 10/5/2023
Product Review
I have played numerous brands of guitars from very high end to the lowest of low price. For the money this acoustic electric from Ibanez is impressive. Most of the electric guitars I own have that low profile Ibanez wizard neck and for an acoustic it has the same feel. Very low action, neck profile feels slightly bigger than the electric wizard necks. The electronics on the pre amp sound amazing. Very crisp and full sounding. May buy a second for having 2 on stage for live performances. Absolutley loving this addition to my sound arsenal.

(1) The standout features are the workmanship build and quality.
(2) What I like: The flexibility of playing acoustically and the ability to plug into my amp. Nothing to dislike!
(3) I've had it since Christmas 2022.
(4) Meets my expectations, one-hundred percent.
(5)-(I) I really like the feel of the slim neck that makes it easier to move around the fretboard. (II) The finish on the guitar is absolutely beautiful. (III) The Ibanez AEQ2T acoustic pickup assembly controls includes volume, bass, treble, and built in electro tuner. (IV) Controls are conveniently mounted, easily viewable and accessible. (V) AEQ2T is powered by a 9 volt battery with minimal power draw (I still have the original 9 volt installed).
Overall, it's a very nice acoustic / electric guitar!

I bought this guitar because of the size. The size made it easy to carry in my truck when I travel across the U.S. for work. AMS made the checkout process a lot easier than other places. As for the guitar itself it came out of the box needing no adjustments to be played, it was ready to go.

Great product, I would buy again from this company. The little nit-picky things are related to the guitar itself honestly.. but even the little annoyances are manageable and can be tweaked. The reviews for this site kind of scared me, but I had no issues! Shipment was insanely fast and came in one piece no damages. :) I’m happy.

A lot of cheaper guitars have shotty fret work. This one's no exception, but it's not so bad that it makes it unplayable. Great sound, great feel and the cut off gives great access to higher frets.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. Deep scuffs in the finish near the neck, paint chipped off on the lower corners of the headstock, and fine scratches all over the front of the guitar ( picking scratches?) I have no idea if this is the result of poor quality control What I do know is that it is getting sent back and I'll order a different brand. This guitar is made of plywood, Built very poorly and it looks it. Don't waste your money.

This little, very light acoustic-electric is perfect...I did have to have a set up done but that is normal. The action way way too high, almost unplayable when I received it but a quick trip to my local music store fixed that. Acoustically, this sounds incredible in my bedroom, plugged in this thing booms. Sustain is eternal...lol. For the price this guitar give you so much more than other 200 dollar guitars I have played

I bought this guitar for my 13 year old daughter who is starting to learn to play and she loves it. I’ve been playing for 30 years and I have to say this is a great guitar especially for the money. The set up out of the box was perfect. It plays really nice and sounds great too. The thinner smaller body makes it a great guitar to learn on as well.

This was a dent & scratch sale. It only had a small paint blemish at the sound hole and some very minor pick scratches. The black finish looks nice and the setup was good. The thin body makes it my most comfortable acoustic to play. It actually sounds better than I expected acoustically and it sounds good plugged in. I have only had it about two weeks, but so far I am satisfied with it.

When looking for an electric guitar the first the I look for is style, what is going to be appealing to me. This Acoustic guitar definitely stands out. It has very good quality and it is not just a beginner guitar although it would be great for beginners. The electronics work perfectly and I am glad that I have this Ibanez.

I've been playing professionally for over 40 years. My regular acoustic electric guitar started giving me some electronic problems, so I purchased this guitar as a backup. However after playing it right out of the box I played it that night at my job. It sounded as good as my 1400 dollar guitar. I was shocked. I have been playing it on my jobs ever since. Love this guitar!

great value for entry level guitar
By: Jim P from Raleigh, NC

So far, I am extremely impressed with the value that I got for the money paid.
I've had it for over a year. Bought the cheapest "hard" case I could find. I take it to rehearse weekly and perform monthly with it. I've never had a problem with it.
Your general opinion of this product.
This did (and does) exactly what I needed it to do.
The double cutaway neck gives me the access I want. The neck feels similar to an electric guitar neck. The width of the neck and string spacing is kind of small (almost like a youth guitar) and that takes some getting used to. It's also neck heavy (if you take your hand off the neck, the neck will want to go to the floor).
I bought the blue burst finish and am very satisfied with the quality and look of the finish.
The set up was fantastic out of the box!!!

Good little guitar

It is made with Ibanez' usual high-quality standards as far as workmanship. Though the plywood body hinders tone substantially, it does make it hold up better under less-than-ideal situations, like at the beach or around the campfire. You could probably drop it in the pool without doing much damage. The tuners are good, sealed units that hold tune well, but you'll want to replace the chintzy plastic strap buttons with metal ones.
I have owned mine for about 7 years now (and have played the heck out of it) without a major problem. I did have to replace the input jack a couple of years ago, no big deal.
Your general opinion of this product.
The Ibanez Talman TCY10E acoustic-electric is a good design idea for electric guitar players who are looking for some acoustic flavor, without modifying their technique. This one handles like an electric, is small-bodied with a double-cutaway design for easily reaching the highest frets, and it has onboard electronics for plugged in play. That being said, you should NOT expect dreadnought-like sound from this pygmy axe-it just ain't there. Plus, it's made of laminated wood (on the body) which doesn't exactly deepen the tone. It is, however, a fun guitar to play!
The TCY10 is super light and airy, like a SMALL hollowbody electric. Once you get the action where you want it, it plays like a dream-or like your old, reliable electric. The neck is adjustable, too. The controls are right where they need to be.
Tone is a little thin but tolerable, but much better plugged in. About what you'd expect from an acoustic axe this size.
The finish on mine was flawless, with no dings, finish runs, binding misalignment, glue drops, or anything unusual. I got the black one, which looks killer when new but, unfortunately, shows scratches very plainly after awhile. This isn't the guitar's fault, but I'd try the blue-burst one if I had to choose again.
Action out of the box was fair-it was quite playable-but most inexpensive guitars can always be improved upon in the action department. I shaved the bridge saddle (intonated, by the way)and helped it a bunch. (Mine had 2 saddle shims plus an extra saddle included with it, in case you mess the first one up!) It has a nice, fast neck too.
