Sound & Tone
The alder body with flamed maple top and 25.5" scale give this guitar a tight, snappy attack with familiar string tension, while the direct-mounted TQM-S single-coils in the neck and middle positions stay glassy and articulate and the TQM-H bridge humbucker adds thickness and drive for lead work. The Dyna-MIX9 switching with the Alter switch pulls nine distinct voicings from that setup, covering clean funk and chime through fusion lead tones and heavier rhythm sounds without swapping instruments. Stainless steel frets over a compound radius, titanium tremolo saddles and a bone nut keep note definition clean and precise, suiting fusion, modern rock, and legato-heavy lead playing where clarity across the whole neck matters.
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?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional and carries the same professional-grade specifications as a new model, but shows only minor cosmetic wear from handling or display. The electronics, hardware, playability, and tone are identical to new.
How many different tones can I get from the Dyna-MIX9 system?
The Dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter switch provides nine distinct tonal configurations by combining the bridge humbucker and dual neck/middle single-coils in different ways, giving you flexibility across clean articulation and high-gain punch without needing multiple instruments.
Is this guitar good for progressive and djent styles?
Yes. The TQM2 is engineered specifically for progressive rock, djent, and modern metal, with a tight bridge humbucker for definition on saturated riffs, articulate single-coils for clean passages, a stable tremolo system, and a neck geometry that handles both open chords and extreme high-register work.
What is the neck shape and will it feel familiar?
The neck features an S-Tech roasted maple construction with an oval C profile, a compound radius spanning 228mmR to 305mmR, and 22 stainless steel frets. This geometry accommodates both open chords and high-register bending smoothly and is similar in feel to Ibanez Prestige models, though the roasted maple provides enhanced stability and reduced wood movement.
How stable is the tremolo system?
The Gotoh T1702B two-point synchronized tremolo with titanium saddles delivers reliable pitch stability, and paired with the oil-impregnated bone nut and Gotoh locking tuning machines, the guitar maintains intonation through aggressive playing and tremolo use.
