Remember these!! I bought up 3 of them when Sam Ash bought 'em all and blew them out at crazy prices!!
I had to sell off two....but kept one!!

Upgraded with:

1 : 2 Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 HB's
2 : a Fender Vintage Noiseless for the middle

Is that a Fender? Never seen or heard of one. I never got into pointy guitars. Not that there is anything wrong with em. [/i]

Fender put these puppies out in the late '80's/early '90's to compete with all the Ibanez, ESP, Jackson...ect...metal machines. The line did fairly well, not well enough to continue though.....by the late '90's the line was cancelled. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Pointy guitars are not my favourite.

The Talons are known to be described as tweaked Ibanez RG guitars. The Talon has a basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, one (DiMarzio?) humbucker (bridge position), two Fender single coil pickups (neck and mid position), 22 frets and a Floyd Rose II tremolo system. Ultra slim "U" shape neck radius is 17" (431.8 mm), scale length is 25.1" (637.5 mm). First documented month of manufacture: December 1990 (serial number L90226). Last documented month of manufacture: September 1992. The guitar appeared in Fender Frontline first in autumn 1991 and last in autumn 1993.

There are seven different Talon models.

that pickguard looks dangerous. you should make yours detachable. in case someone tries to pull a "dimebag darrell" on you, just throw it like a ninja star.

I do recommend Heartfields very much. Everything about it just oozes quality.Chances are they'll turn out to be a decent investment over time as well,I've been told.
