So lately i've been watching a lot of rage against the machine videos and i am in love with tom morello's ibanez talman. of course his was custiom painted and has a defunct pickup that makes a bird chirpy noise when used [the seller thought that was a negative but morello said that was his favorite part about it and now uses it to make crazy sounds.] with that aside, stock talman's supposedly run cheap and also sound great with loads of sustain and great tone. PROBLEM - ibanez does not make them anymore, so online it is ridiculously tough to find one. ibanez makes the accoustic ibanez talmn now, which is not good at all. does anyone know where i can find an ibanez talman!?! or any additional information about it.

    The closest thing to a new Talman is the Noodles model (http://www.ibanez.com/eg/guitar.aspx?m=NDM2) which is based one of the shapes of the old Talmans of the 90's.

    I'd recommend a change in pickups and pickguard for something more akin to Morello's guitar, but a nice little guitar out of Korea all the same.
