#TALMAN TM730 SERIES#

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.
