Ibanez Signature TQM1-NTF Tom Quayle AZ

What we say:

At A Glance

When Ibanez make a signature model they don't mess around. By blending a stripped back natural look with high end features, we get Tom Quayle's instrument of choice. For anyone unfamiliar with Tom's playing, his original and influential fusion legato style is very special indeed. Delivering numerous masterclasses to eager-to-learn musicians and with performances taking him across many continents, he needed a guitar that would allow him to play at his best. Packed full of high end components and quality wood choices, this model is reliable, versatile and just downright enjoyable to play.

Features We Love:

Monkeypod Top

This certainly isn't something that you see every day! The grain of this wood looks extremely elegant and adds a level of class that a colour finish just couldn't match. It adds to the overall natural aesthetic of the guitar and also pairs nicely with the alder body.

Seymour Duncan Hyperion Pickups

An HSS configuration of Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups give a balanced and expressive range of sounds that cover pretty much all musical bases, thanks to the additional of the Alter Switch. This custom switching system allows several further options of sound variations for even more versatility. Perfect for a guitarist as diverse as Tom, whose playing takes him all the way from jazz through to rock.

Gotoh Hardware

The hardware is just as impressive as the rest of the guitar. A Gotoh tremolo provides an ultra-stable update on the vintage trem idea whilst Gotoh Magnum Lock machine heads ensure your tuning stays perfectly solid. The tuners also include adjustable height posts meaning each string post can be individually adjusted for each string.

• A unique signature model
