Best Little Acoustic Guitar ever
Richard H. 873 27.05.2013
I just love this guitar. It was the unusual shape that attracted me to this guitar and the fact that it has a regular looking magnetic pickup on the body which gives it a kind of electric guitar look to it. I bought it online without ever having played one and I have to say when it arrived in the post I was not disappointed. It looks great and it sounds great. It feels smaller than a normal acoustic guitar even though it is a full size guitar. The action feels like an electric guitar and I suppose the idea of the design for this guitar was to make it look like an electric (I think it looks a bit like an EVH style guitar body). I love the acoustic sound of this, it sounds bluesy and has a woody tone. It doesn't have the full bodied tone or volume of a regular style acoustic like a jumbo or an auditorium simply due to the slimmer body, but that's what I like about it - it's different. It's almost like an acoustic version of an electric guitar. Great guitar, good sound, lovely shape, good pickup sound, great value for money. By the way, I know a guy who bought a Martin Acoustic guitar for €3,000 and I can get a better sound out of this low priced Ibanez (maybe I'm just a better player?).

Unbeatable value for money!

The guitar is really beauty to see. Feedback with the fingerboard is really pleasant.
The guitar sounds is rock because of slim size of the harmonic box.
Perfect middle range guitar: absolutley recomanded!

She's a keeper
Freddy Raasch 25.04.2019
I was looking for an electric/acoustic guitar for practising at home, composing and perhaps the occasional acoustic jam. I watched a few videos and read as many reviews I could about the TCM50 until I decided to purchase the guitar. Its the first time I purchased an instrument without checking it out (no music store in Brisbane had one at the time). Delivery was very quick and once I opened the parcel and played a few chords, I was sure I'd keep her. The acoustic sound is surprisingly good, not like a dreadnought (I had a Gibson J45 before), but good enough for what I need. The build quality is flawless. The electric sound is great, big and full. I'm playing through a Yamaha THR5a and couldn't be happier. Great buy. Highly recommended.

Could be better
DiegoA 02.01.2014
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!
