No idea if there's a strong Yvette Young following here but the Ibanez YY20 is available at Swee Lee now ($1,399).
The thing with both the YY10 & YY20, it emulates the original Talman model closely with very little variation in features. The final iteration before being discontinued, the TM302, (pictured above) costs less than $500; very affordable & decent as well. If you bought one & had a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups in there (like the YY20), it will still cost considerably lesser than the YY20. Of course, if you have a thing for glitter finish, you might have a go at it. If you are into Yvette's playing style, it is a similar approach to the Polyphia guys & Ichika Nito; lots of double hand tapping. The way I see it, there is a stronger following of the guitars endorsed by those latter artists. Specifically, I'm referring to the Premium AZ THBB, SLM & ICHI10 models - these are hot stuff, hardly in stock.
