Ibanez TOD10N Signature Tim Henson Pearl Pink Flat

Essential Information About the Ibanez TOD10N Signature Tim Henson Pearl Pink Flat Guitar

• Modern nylon signature: a slim electro-acoustic designed for Tim Henson's precise and fast playing, with ultra-contemporary ergonomics.


• Feedback-resistant and stage-friendly: no soundhole on the top, reducing feedback when amplified, while maintaining a true "nylon" feel.


• Wide and expressive sound: solid Sitka spruce top + fan bracing for a rich response, bright highs, and tight mids.


• Ready-to-play electronics: Fishman S-Core pickup and Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp with EQ, built-in tuner, and phase switch.

A signature that reinvents the electric nylon in the lineage of iconic Ibanez models

The TOD10N perfectly embodies Tim Henson's approach: modernizing, refreshing, and subverting the codes. Visually, the fretboard immediately catches the eye with the "Tree of Death" inlay, a deliberate nod to the famous Ibanez "Tree of Life" motif, but reimagined with a sharper aesthetic. Within the Ibanez range, this model positions itself as a highly playable electrified nylon, crafted for contemporary arrangements, clean textures, complex arpeggios, and fast passages, while retaining a credible acoustic identity.

For which guitarists and styles is the TOD10N ideal?

This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians who want a nylon with an immediate feel, without the sometimes demanding "wide and round" sensation of traditional classics. Its narrower nut width (46 mm) and 400 mm radius facilitate transitions, extensions, and modern fingerstyle playing. It excels in neo-soul, fingerstyle, pop, fusion, instrumental music, and any context where a precise, clean, and easily amplified nylon is sought. Whether in the home studio or on stage, it quickly delivers a coherent sound in an audio chain without fighting unwanted resonances.

A wideband nylon tone designed for amplification

The tonal personality starts with a solid Sitka spruce top, known for its wide dynamic range: bright highs, well-defined mids, and a present but not heavy low end. The sapele back and sides add midrange warmth and clear response, ideal for maintaining definition when playing rich voicings or percussive patterns.

The luthiery is clearly performance-oriented: the Modified FR hollow body format is slim and compact, and the fan bracing, typical of classical guitars, helps preserve a true nylon color-natural and singing. The absence of a soundhole on the top reduces the risk of feedback in amplified settings, and the Side Sound Port directs some of the sound toward the player: you perceive the attack and nuance more directly, improving touch control.

On the amplification side, the Fishman S-Core faithfully translates the instrument's character, with articulate reproduction and good string-to-string balance. The Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp adds the essentials for playing anywhere: volume, bass/treble EQ, built-in tuner, and phase switch to help stabilize the sound depending on the PA or stage monitor. The result: a modern, expressive nylon immediately usable on amp or audio interface.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, you can opt for the D'Addario XTC45 string set (gauges: .028/.032/.040/.028W/.035W/.044W). For amplification, a 6.35 mm jack cable (1/4" output) is essential, and a quality 9V battery is recommended to power the preamp and built-in tuner.
