Talman tm73012/15/2023 ![]() ![]() I’m a big Stratocaster guy, so it’s difficult to avoid making comparisons between the two models. If you’re like me and play mostly classic Fender models, the Talman will feel immediately familiar. Nevertheless, it looks great and is a beautiful compliment to the maple neck. The official finish label is “Vintage White,” although it’s closer to cream than an authentically yellowed white. This knob rests, in a unique configuration, on the input jack plate, with the remaining controls mounted atop a two-ply black and white pickguard. The five-way pickup selection switch is configured like a Stratocaster’s, but there is only one tone knob to adjust the output. ![]() The tremolo arm screws into place and will remain in a fixed position with a complete clockwise rotation. Each bridge saddle is individually adjustable for height and string length, and with the easy-to-access bullet truss-rod, intonation chores are a snap. The ITL-PRO tremolo bridge and block assembly is situated in a body cavity so you can adjust the spring tension by removing the back plate. The bolt-on 25.5" maple neck has a familiar-feeling “C” profile, 22 medium-sized frets, and black dot-inlays. Through a crunchy Orange OR50 and even various solid-state practice amps, the Talman never sounded brittle.Ĭrafted in Japan, the new Talman Prestige series is very well made. ![]()
