AP2 Pickup Reproduces an Acoustic Tone

The Ibanez AP2 magnetic pickup gives you a natural, detailed acoustic tone for recording or live performance. Designed specifically for acoustic instruments, the AP2 pickup preserves the TCM50FM Talman's resonant character with full-range reproduction of your playing dynamics and techniques. Use it to capture the subtlety and nuance of fingerpicking or the driving rhythm of strumming. Paired with the onboard Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp, you have tone-shaping control of the AP2's reproduction of your acoustic tone before sending it to an amplifier or PA system.

Onboard Electronics Shape Your Sound

The Ibanez AEQ-2TM preamp provides simple tone control right onboard. Easily adjust the bass and treble frequencies to suit the needs of any song. An onboard tuner lets you tune up fast without plugging in. The preamp's intuitive controls make it easy to craft your perfect acoustic tone at a moment's notice.

Purpleheart Bridge Enhances Natural Resonance

The Purpleheart bridge transfers the strings' vibrations directly into the TCM50FM's resonant body. Its hard, dense wood maximizes the projection of each note and chord. The bridge's smooth, polished surface also enhances sustain for acoustic tones that ring true.
