Ibanez Tom Quayle Signature Electric Guitar w/Case - Charcol Black Burst Flat

TQM2

Ibanez is pleased to offer a signature model of UK’s preeminent Jazz/Fusion virtuosos, Tom Quayle. The TQM is based on the Ibanez AZ models.

Born to family of musicians, it was natural for Tom to pick up a guitar and practice to develop his skill. This environment helped broaden his view in music and guitar playing. While beginning as a jazz player, Tom eventually discovered fusion music, which led to him to incorporate legato and hybrid picking styles into his own trademark playing style. Since then, Tom’s reputation as one of guitar’s most versatile and talented players has become common knowledge in the guitar community.
