Ibanez TOD100FMN Signature Tim Henson Toasted Marshmallow Matte

The Essentials to Know About the Ibanez TOD100FMN Signature Tim Henson "Toasted Marshmallow Matte" Guitar

• Ultra-comfortable nylon electro-acoustic: very thin chambered body, easy access, and familiar feel for electric guitarists.


• Modern and precise voicing: flamed maple top for attack, solid okoumé for warm mids, ebony fingerboard for quick response and rich sustain.


• Stage-ready Fishman electronics: piezo under-saddle pickup + body sensor, Aura preamp with blends and phase switch for a natural and controlled live sound.


• Bold Signature identity: matte "Toasted Marshmallow" finish, Tree of Death inlay, and ebony "double hole" bridge for simplified string changes.

A Signature Designed with Tim Henson: Ibanez DNA Reimagined for Today's Playing

The TOD100FMN is part of Tim Henson's Signature line with a very contemporary approach to nylon-string guitars: a visually distinctive instrument designed for precision, speed, and clarity while retaining the musicality of an electro-acoustic. Its FRH chambered (hollowed) body and performance-oriented design position it as a stage and studio guitar, crafted for modern arrangements, dynamic nuances, and hybrid textures.

Who Is This TOD100FMN For? A Modern Nylon for Fingerstyle, Neo-Soul, and Percussive Playing

With its 46 mm nut width (narrower than a traditional classical) and 400 mm radius, this Ibanez clearly targets guitarists seeking a fast grip: fans of fingerstyle, precise arpeggios, neo-soul licks, modern phrasing, and percussive playing. It is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced levels (to fully exploit its blends and nuances), while remaining accessible if you want a more "friendly" nylon than a standard classical. Its thin body and access to the upper register also encourage solo parts and extended voicings.

Sound & Projection: Clear Attack, Full Mids, and Amplification Control

The combination of flamed maple (top) + solid okoumé (back/sides) offers a very musical balance: a bright and defined attack to highlight details, supported by round and present mids that fill the mix without muddiness. The ebony fingerboard enhances the immediate response feel, with tight lows and a high end that "speaks" quickly, ideal for crisp articulations.

The Chambered luthiery with fan bracing promotes controlled projection and a pleasant resonance sensation against the body, while the side sound port provides a more direct personal listening experience: useful for better controlling attack and dynamics without strain. Plugged in, the combination of the Fishman Acoustic Matrix (under-saddle) and body sensor, driven by the Fishman Aura preamp, allows for a range from clear and precise sound to a more "organic" tone, with controls designed to sculpt your tone without losing definition.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, you can plan to use a set of D'Addario XTC45 strings (referenced as XTC45T) for replacement. On stage, a standard 6.35 mm jack cable is suitable for the 1/4" output (mono or stereo), and a 9V battery is required to power the preamp.
