Review of Ibanez TCM50
Advantages: Well made, plays great, smooth quick neck, comfortable guitar and low B Disadvantages: Bad stock pickups, thin finish chips easily.
...in comparison.
It's an Ibanez Prestige guitar so it’s top of the range, flawless construction, very comfortable and very easy to play with a thin smooth neck.
It features the Edge Pro 7 which is Ibanez's own tremolo design and its fantastic, easy to palm mute on, easy to change strings, and keeps the tuning very stable.
Now on to the bad,
Ibanez has (presumably for cost) taken steps to make their finishes as thin as possible and that results ... ...you have to be very careful with it to keep it in good condition (something which I don’t mind, I babied it to near mint condition as with my other guitars).

But other than that one problem this guitar is the best investment I have made, even after the major breakage the guitar stays in tune perfectly and there are no problems with the intonation. The guitar in my opinion is ...
...is just so reliable and easy to play. I feel that this guitar would be ideal for any guitarist. The hardware is epiphone standard which is always good. Appearance wise i really love it, it has contrast between the main colour and binding colour which i think is really nice. ...
...sound and are ideal for distortion. The hardware is standard epiphone which is nice and sturdy. This guitar has the standard one volume, one tone and a three way selector, which is all you need. It is a nice light guitar that would make an ideal back up stage guitar. ...
An amazingly addictive game with endless possibilities (*)
