The TC630 is a Talman series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1995.

The Talman series is a retro-styled guitar reminiscent of the Fender Telecaster.

Two different versions of the TC630 were available in different markets starting in 1996. This version, which has a resoncast body and was produced in South Korea, continued to be offered in Japan as well as Asia and South American. A new model which was produced in Japan with an ash body was offered in Europe and the USA.

The TC630 features a resoncast body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. Components include a trio of Sky lipstick-style, pickguard-mounted single coil pickups and a floating synchronized tremolo bridge.

The TC620 is a similar model with dual humbucking pickups. The TC530 is a similar model with a different tremolo.

The TC630 was discontinued after 1998 along with the entire Talman series of this era.
