Ibanez Tod10N-Tkf Transparent Black Flat Signature Tim Henson

A Nylon Signature at the Heart of Ibanez's Modern Range

Developed with Tim Henson (Polyphia), the TOD10N follows the tradition of Ibanez signature models focused on performance, combining striking aesthetics and solutions dedicated to amplified setups. Its "FRH" format without a soundhole and the "Tree of Death" inlay set the tone: a contemporary nylon guitar designed to integrate naturally with effects rigs, recording, and modern stages, while retaining the typical nylon string feel.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This electro-classical guitar primarily targets intermediate to expert guitarists who want an electric-like ergonomics without sacrificing the warmth of nylon. It excels in neo-soul, fusion, math rock, pop, Latin, bossa, and modern playing styles (fingerstyle, fast arpeggios, extended chords), especially when a clear attack and excellent note separation are sought both in the studio and on stage.

Sound Characteristics

The solid Sitka spruce top promotes dynamic response and great definition, with bright but controlled highs. The sapelli back and sides provide a warm foundation and present midrange, helping complex chords remain clear. The fan bracing, typical of classical guitars, supports a natural and responsive tone with clean sustain. The thin body without a soundhole helps reduce feedback sensitivity in amplified contexts, while the lateral sound port enhances the player's sound perception. Plugged in, the combination of Fishman Sonicore + AEQ210TF delivers a precise, mix-ready output with bass/treble controls and a phase switch to stabilize resonances depending on the stage, amp, or effects chain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, opt for D'Addario XTC45 nylon strings (original set). The output is a 6.35 mm mono jack, so a standard instrument cable is suitable, and the preamp operates on a 9V battery (bring a spare battery for stage use).
