Ibanez TOD10 Tim Henson Signature

Presenting the Ibanez TOD10 Tim Henson Signature model electric.

Plano, Texas based Polyphia is a very popular, primarily instrumental progressive rock band. By weaving technical and virtuosic guitar instrumentations together with hip-hop, jazz and R&B-influenced production and grooves, Polyphia has created a truly unique and original sound.

The team at Ibanez has worked closely with Tim Henson, one half of the dynamic guitar duo of Polyphia, for many years, and together have developed a signature model, the TOD. The guitar is highly inspired by the Ibanez AZ model, and it also features some of Tim’s personal touches to make it perfectly designed for his versatile playing style.

The TOD’s most striking aesthetic feature may be the fingerboard inlay design, which Tim has dubbed as the “Tree of Death”. The name and the design are both nods to the iconic Ibanez “Tree of Life” inlay design, but with a twist.

”Designed to Inspire”, all Ibanez Premium series instruments, including the TOD10, are manufactured with select tone woods, high-profile electronics, hardware and dedicated skills of craftsmanship and care in details for your musical journey. The richness of sound, stunning appearance and unrivalled playability of the Ibanez Premium series will open the gate of your reservoir of inspiration.

Key Features of the TOD10:

Oval C Roasted Maple neck: The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. The Graphite reinforcement rods provides massive sustain and excellent stability.

Ebony fretboard: Ebony produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain.

Jumbo Stainless Steel frets: Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes.

American Basswood body: The American Basswood body delivers a natural and flat tone.

Fishman® Fluence™ Tim Henson Signature Series pickups: Tim’s signature Fishman® Fluence™ pickups span the entire range of aggressive lead and rhythm tones to the cleanest of clean single coil combinations, even touching on sounds Tim was previously only able to produce with his acoustic guitars.

Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads: The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.
