Description
Ibanez TQM2 Tom Quayle Signature Guitar B-Stock
The TQM2 is a precision-engineered instrument designed to deliver articulate, dynamic response across modern recording sessions and live performance demands. Its lightweight construction and meticulously crafted neck geometry yield exceptional responsiveness and control, while the direct-mounted pickup architecture captures clarity and definition in the mix. This B-Stock unit carries the same specifications as new models with only cosmetic wear, offering substantial value for producers and engineers who demand professional-grade hardware and electronics.
Playability & Recording Performance
The S-Tech roasted maple neck with oval C profile and rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, stable playing surface with minimal wood movement—critical for consistent tone tracking across multiple takes. A compound radius of 228mmR-305mmR across 22 stainless steel frets accommodates both open voicings and high-register articulation without compromise, while the 25.5" scale length maintains traditional tension and sustain characteristics that sit well in dense mixes.
Tone Shaping & Versatility
The Dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter switch unlocks nine distinct tonal configurations from a bridge humbucker (TQM-H) and dual neck/middle single-coils (TQM-S) positioned directly to the body for maximum clarity and separation in multitrack sessions. The Gotoh T1702B two-point synchronized tremolo with titanium saddles delivers stable pitch control and repeatable tuning retention across takes, while the oil-impregnated bone nut and 10.5mm string spacing ensure precise intonation and clean articulation across the full range for clean recording captures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this TQM2 is fully functional with identical Prestige-line specifications—roasted maple neck, Dyna-MIX9 system, Gotoh hardware, all unchanged. It carries only cosmetic wear from display or handling and represents the same instrument as a new model at reduced price.
How many tones can the Dyna-MIX9 switching system produce?
The Dyna-MIX9 with Alter switch unlocks nine distinct tonal configurations by combining the bridge humbucker and dual neck/middle single-coils in different positions and switching modes, enabling everything from articulate cleans to full humbucker crunch.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or acoustic-leaning styles?
The TQM2 is engineered specifically for progressive, fusion, modern rock, and indie—not traditional jazz or acoustic folk. Its direct-mounted pickups and high-output architecture favor contemporary electric textures over warm jazz voicings.
What is the neck profile and does it suit both rhythm and lead?
The oval C-profile S-Tech roasted maple neck with a compound radius of 228mmR-305mmR (22 stainless steel frets, 25.5" scale) bridges open-chord comfort and high-register bending without compromise, making it equally suited to rhythm work and fast lead passages.
How stable is the tremolo system for heavy use?
The Gotoh T1702B two-point synchronized tremolo with titanium saddles delivers stable pitch control and is paired with Gotoh locking tuning machines with height-adjustable posts—hardware chosen for road reliability and minimal drift during performance.
