Ibanez TCM50-VBS

I mainly chose this Guitar because I liked the design, but when arrived (super fast as usual with Thomann), I realized it's actually smaller than what I was expecting, and so it doesn't sound too loud without amp.

But the main issue I had, was that my guitar has a dead fret on position #15 (2nd & 3rd string). Tried replacing strings and adjusting the neck, but still the issue remains. The guitar is still ok for the price, but I got disappointed by Ibanez, it is the second guitar I have from them with similar issues..

Something I also didn't like is that the pick-up has a lot of noise when connected to my mixer, which is not desirable if you want to record. Also the pre-amp is very basic, could be better.

Fortunately, Thomann support is just great, I will return it and choose another one!

Pros:
- Small & lightweight
- Cheap alternative
- The cut away gives great access to the higher frets
- Looks great and unusual for an acoustic

Cons:
- All the weight is at the headstock so when you let go for a moment it will dip down forward
- Since getting it the strings have raised up really high making it awkward to play. despite adjusting it multiple times.

Overall:
It's a fine little guitar but not something I'd use to gig with etc.
Good for taking around for practice./travel.
Sound quality is not great, plugged in its still very thin sounding.
