Ibanez teams up with Yvette Young to launch the new YY10 Talman model, a Slime Green Sparkle tapping machine!

YY10 Slime Green Sparkle

The talented Yvette Young has opted for a subtle Slime Green Sparkle for her signature Ibanez Talman model. It certainly won’t be missed on a dark stage and could probably be used to land an aircraft, at a push. The guitarist has a unique two-handed tapping technique, and this instrument has been tailored to her specifications. It has a U-shaped maple neck with a 305mm (12″) radius fretboard that is bolted on to an alder body.

It comes setup from the factory with 0.10-guage strings and her preferred tuning of FACGBE.

Seymour Duncan

The YY10 is equipped with three Seymour Duncan Five Two single-coil pickups and has a Wilkinson WV6-SB tremolo system and Gotoh MG-T locking tuners.

Just in case the Slime Green Sparkle finish wasn’t bright enough on stage, there’s also a set of luminescent side-dot inlays on the neck!

The Covet guitarist has certainly made this Talman her own and it could be a very interesting guitar to play, especially with those unique neck specifications.
