Ibanez TOD70 Signature Tim Henson

A Premium Signature with "Tree of Death" Design

Developed hand in hand with Tim Henson, the TOD fits within the spirit of modern Ibanez guitars, with a clear lineage to the AZ platform while incorporating aesthetic and functional choices unique to the artist. The iconic visual element is the " Tree of Death " fingerboard inlay, a deliberate nod to the historic "Tree of Life," reimagined with a darker and more contemporary identity. As an Ibanez Premium model, the TOD70 emphasizes selected woods, ambitious electronics, and meticulous finishing, designed to inspire both on stage and in the studio.

For Which Guitarists and Styles

The Ibanez TOD70 is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an ultra-precise electric guitar capable of handling tight rhythm playing, detailed arpeggios, and expressive lead work. It excels in progressive, modern rock, fusion, neo-soul, and all approaches where right-hand dynamics and attack clarity make a difference. The Gotoh tremolo and locking tuners also make it a natural ally for modern techniques (vibratos, subtle nuances, fast phrasing) without sacrificing stability.

Sound

The American basswood body delivers a balanced, direct, and clear foundation, ideal for modern sounds and processing (compression, drive, effects) without excessive coloration. The combination of a roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard provides a fast response, crisp attacks, and rich sustain, while the jumbo stainless steel frets enhance note clarity and bending precision. On the electronics side, the Fishman Fluence Tim Henson Signature Series pickups form the core of the character: from thick and singing humbucker tones to very clean single-coil style combinations, up to nylon-inspired textures, all controlled via the push/pull Voicing switch on the tone knob. The Gotoh T1572S tremolo (steel nuts and block) contributes to a clear articulation and responsive feel, especially appreciated in modern playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To complement the TOD70 easily, you can opt for a strap (standard strap locks), a quality 6.35 mm jack cable, a chromatic tuner, and a stable guitar stand for daily storage. A gig bag is already included to protect the instrument during transport.
