TQMS1


This is a fine one by Ibanez this Summer NAMM - the new Ibanez Tom Quayle signature, TQMS1. I was thinking it would be another Strat-type take with a rosewood fretboard (because that's the one he's seen with lately) but this Tele-style is a good variation. 


The TQMS1 is a case of putting a partial pickguard on a regular AZS body, as seen here. The layaouts are exactly the same, even the Seymour Duncan pickups are the same Magic Touch (n) & Alnico II Pro (b). 


The coolest thing about the TQMS1 is its finish - the blue there is strictly on the front's top. Flip over, it's a natural finish, flushed with the neck.
