When Tim Henson approached Ibanez to resurrect a nylon-string electric akin to the now-sought-after, yet commercially botched 1998 SC500N guitar, they were initially taken aback by the risk factor. But after hearing a demo of the track “Playing God,” Ibanez was convinced of the concept’s massive potential and opted to give the Polyphia star his very own signature nylon electric model in the TOD10N. Popularized by Henson’s soulful effervescence, this revamped nylon electric form factor has struck a chord with guitarists hailing from a vast variety of genres and playing styles. The TOD10N couples a hand feel that’s familiar to electric players with artful aesthetics, including a gorgeous custom-designed inlay and striking transparent black finish. At its core, it’s built to satisfy the needs of shredders and classical players—and everyone in between.

Fishman Electronics Translate Pure Acoustic Tone

The TOD10N includes a Fishman Sonicore pickup to accurately translate the instrument's sound into any amplification system. An Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp provides onboard equalization and a built-in tuner for convenience. The side sound port allows you to feel and hear the natural acoustic tone.

Innovative Body Shape Inspires Effortless Playing

The TOD10N's thin, compact body with deep cutaways offers comfort and access. The modified fan-braced hollowbody has no soundhole, reducing feedback. Gold classical tuners, a walnut bridge, and a bone nut complete the appointment. The C-shaped nyatoh neck has a 46 mm nut width for playability.

Premium Tonewoods Produce Warm, Resonant Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top provides a wide frequency range with articulate highs and lows. Sapele back and sides enhance warmth and resonance. The walnut bridge and fretboard contribute a balanced tone. Together, these tonewoods allow the TOD10N to resonate with the slightest pluck.

Take the Stage with Standout Style

The transparent black, flat finish highlights the TOD10N's sleek lines and contours. Gold classical tuners provide a touch of glamor against the black. The "Tree of Death" inlay gives a nod to Ibanez's "Tree of Life" motif with an edgy twist. On stage or in the studio, the TOD10N Tim Henson Signature guitar makes a statement
