Ibanez Talman bodies and necks!

This is one of those guitars I wish I got back in the day. Come on Warmoth let's do this!

That would be cool indeed. I have had 4 Talmans. The best was a TC830 in gravure flame green with maple board:

I eventually ended up selling all when I got the Warmoth fever. But a Warmoth Talman would be too much of a temptation.  :sign13:

That green one was the one I wanted...who did you sell it to and where do they live?

I think I've seen that tone/jack plate on Guitar fetish. -Just in case W goes for the body design. IF they don't, it seems like for that look, one could spring for a top-route Jazzmaster with your-choice trem and your-choice jack. -Ask for middle pickup route and a strat-type top-route jack. Heck, then throw a 3+3 headstock on it to complete the vibe (?)  :dontknow:

Some of the cooler variations in bridges and pickups that they came available with (that W would just hafta offer!):

Check out the crazy semi-hollow/"F" hole cover thingy on that one... -Yikes!

I wanted the one with the Bigsby back then... -back when there were actually local ma-n-pa music stores where I would go and drool all over the latest models.

I sold it to some guy in Sweden.

But...then it's just...a jazzmaster.
I want a Talman and I want it 10 years ago! Yes I'm pouting

Found some photos of the others:

First originally a Talman TC530 in Royale Orange Burst. Here with a home made pickguard loaded with Seymour Duncan P-rails:

And here the two black TC530's:
