Ibanez Signature Models | TOD10N – Tim Henson (Polyphia) – Transparent Black Flat

Tim Henson of Polyphia just keeps blowing minds everywhere with the stuff he can do on guitar. He’s one of those people that seems to keep evolving and coming up with more and more things and then the whole industry and other players follow in his footsteps! He is absolutely well deserving of his new Ibanez signature models, including this very interesting electro-nylon which again seems to have spawned a whole new trend.

The Ibanez TOD10N is here to redefine what you thought was possible with an acoustic-electro nylon guitar. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and cutting-edge technology, this masterpiece represents a fusion of tradition and innovation that will inspire your musical journey.

Unparalleled Construction:
The TOD10N boasts a distinctive FRH hollow body design, reminiscent of Ibanez’s solid body FR series and T-style guitars. Its thin, ergonomic body not only offers unparalleled playability but also contributes to the reduction of feedback, thanks to the absence of a traditional sound hole on the top. Crafted with a solid Sitka Spruce top, sapele back and sides, and enhanced with pearloid binding, this guitar is a visual and auditory marvel.

A Tonewood Symphony:
The tonewoods selected for the TOD10N are a testament to Ibanez’s commitment to exceptional sound. The solid Sitka Spruce top delivers an expansive frequency range, offering shimmering highs, tight mids, and a full-bodied low end. The sapele back and sides infuse the guitar with warm mid-range and bright tones, ensuring every note resonates with richness and clarity.

Innovative Design Elements:
The TOD10N’s design is a harmonious blend of innovation and artistry. The “Tree of Death” thorned vine and rose inlays on the walnut fretboard pay homage to Ibanez’s iconic “Tree of Life” design while adding a unique twist. The oval sound port on the top side near the upper horn and the side sound port on the body allow you to immerse yourself in the pure acoustic essence of the guitar, connecting you intimately with your music.

Powerful Electronics:
Equipped with a Fishman Sonicore under-saddle pickup and an Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp with an onboard tuner, the TOD10N ensures your live performances are nothing short of extraordinary. The pickup captures every nuance of your playing, faithfully translating your dynamics to any amplification system. The preamp offers precise control over your sound, with a treble knob, bass knob, phase button, and easy-to-read digital tuner.

Playability Redefined:
The C-shaped nyatoh neck with a slotted headstock and the walnut fretboard with a 400mm radius provide a playing experience that is as comfortable as it is exhilarating. The 46mm wide bone nut and 22 frets make complex chords and solos a breeze, while the fan bracing, commonly found in classical guitars, enhances the warmth and natural sound of the nylon strings.

Limited Availability:
The Ibanez TOD10N is not just a guitar; it’s an experience, a testament to the dedication of craftsmanship and innovation. Due to its exceptional features and limited availability, it’s a rare gem that any serious musician would be proud to own. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of musical history and elevate your playing to new heights. Order now and let the sonic journey begin!
