Marvellous

Honest Bear 07.08.2023

Somehow this combination that Ibanez made just ticked all my boxes.
Japanese precision build, great materials and great quality of each individual part. There are no shortcuts or tradeoffs on this guitar like with many other well know brands. You get best of the best with this. Pickups are fantastic, modern sounding. Beautiful mini humbucker in neck. Great tele bridge with bite. 5 really useful pickup combinations easily accessible with the switch like it should be. Some may wander why it isn't on the push pull pot but if you ever used push pull you will know why this is the better and well thought solution. Vibrato with giant steel block. They even put rubber rings on the springs to prevent rattle. Roasted neck (more like modern soft D rather than C with plenty of beef in it). Best locking machines that you only need to unscrew with your pick (they lock automaticaly). great rosewood fretboard, beautifully done stainless steel frets. That blue color is much more vibrant in real life. One of those colors that just can't be captured with camera. I can go on and on. If you are not burdened by having that traditional telecaster and want something in that form factor that will satisfy all your needs regarding reliability, ergonomics, tone and modern playability this is no brainer. Hands down best value for the money you can get.

Super Gitarre

coverbeats 26.02.2023

Bin über den Test in G&B auf die Gitarre aufmerksam geworden und war sofort begeistert. Ein Antesten in der näheren Umgebung war nicht möglich, also kurzerhand bei Thomann bestellt und nach wenigen Tagen kam die Gitarre an. An dieser Stelle schon vielen Dank an das Thomann Team für die professionelle Abwicklung. Zurückschicken werde ich sie nicht, das Teil ist optisch, haptisch und klanglich große Klasse, sehr flexibel einsetzbar. Einzig die Einstellung (Saitenlage und Intonation) musste ich etwas nachjustieren, ansonsten alles perfekt. Auch das Zubehör ist sehr schön, super Koffer mit Einstellwerkzeug und Manual.

the worst finished guitar I've ever seen

Adazz 01.09.2024

over the years of playing music I have bought many guitars, bass, electric, premium and middle level but I have never seen such a tragically made guitar. Below is a list of faults:
- pickup switch completely unscrewed, hanging loose,
- loose neck screws,
- incorrectly seated bridge pins,
- a faulty, completely wrong saddle that blocked the tuning,

as a result the guitar was completely unusable, maybe only for exhibition

I spent 150eur on a luthier, the guitar is repaired and adjusted, does the Thoman store have no control over issuing guitars for over 2300eur?

the sound of the guitar is a classic telecaster, only on steroids, with the twang effect and everything a telecaster has.
the neck is not thin but very playable, the small size of the guitar makes it very ergonomic

is this another new ibanez guitar that is not suitable for playing without repair by a luthier, or maybe ibanez is not interested in playing but in winning prizes in a guitar long throw competition?

Moderne SuperTele

Rudi Hartl 13.09.2025

Lange und immer wieder hielt ich Ausschau nach einer Tele, die mir in meiner sammlung noch fehlte. Ein Youtube Video mit Tom Quale lies mich total aufmerksam auf diese werden. Wie auch schon andere Gitarren vorher bestellte ich sie. Auch wenn ich sie, wie ein Kunde sich beschwerte einstellen bzw Nachstellen zu müssen. Aber genau das Gegenteil war der Fall. So eine Makellose und perfekt eingestellte Gitarre ist noch nie bei mir angekommen. Total begeistert von den Sounds und edle Bespielbarkeit. Klingt moderner aber fantastisch. und ist für ganz viele Sachen einsetzbar. Total schöne Form und wunderschönes Design. Sie ist auf anhieb eine meiner Lieblingsgitarren geworden. Das Einzige was ich mir gewünscht hätte, wären Lockingtuner zum schrauben auf der Rückseite. Aber das ist meckern auch höchstem Niveau. Danke Thomann für eine perfekt eingestellte Gitarre, die auch absolut oktavenrein ist.
