The TCM50E is a Talman acoustic series acoustic/electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2008. It was made in China.

The TCM50E features a double cutaway body with a laminated ash top with an oval soundhole on mahogany back and sides. The mahogany neck has a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and white dot position markers. Components include a compensated Ivorex II saddle in a rosewood bridge with Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, an Ivorex II nut, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines. Electronics consist of an Ibanez under saddle pickup connected to an Ibanez AEQ200MT preamp with 2-band EQ and on-board tuner powered by a 9V battery and a ¼" stereo end-pin output jack.

The TCM50 is a similar model without the on-board tuner.

The TCM50E was discontinued after 2012.
