The Talman series is a line of retro-styled guitars reminiscent of the Fender Telecaster. Th TC820 features an alder body with a walnut veneer top bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. Components include dual Sky soapbar-style pickguard-mounted humbucking pickups and a floating synchronized tremolo bridge. The TC820FM is a similar model with a flame maple top. The TC820 was offered only in Europe and was discontinued after 1996.
