The TC720 is a Talman series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1997. The Talman series is a retro-styled guitar reminiscent of the Fender Telecaster.

The TC720 features an alder body bolted to a quartersawn Canadian maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with chrome covers mounted in a white pearloid pickguard, a floating synchronized tremolo bridge, a graphite nut, and Gotoh tuning machines

The TC720 was discontinued in 1998 along with the entire Talman series of this generation.
