Developed in close collaboration with contemporary guitar virtuoso, Tim Henson of Polyphia, the Ibanez TOD10NL signature electro-acoustic classical guitar is a stunner of a model that brings maximum comfort, modern playability and deluxe detailing for an insane price. The ultra-slim custom FRH body is built of a solid spruce soundboard, a sapele back, matching sides, and a walnut fretboard and bridge to result in classic, Spanish warmth, while the narrowed 46mm-wide nut combines with a set-in nyatoh neck finished with an electric-guitar-style C-carve for a tight and controlled feel. This is the left-handed edition. The Ibanez TOD10NL Tim Henson Signature: The G.O.A.T. for You? On a more aesthetic note, the fretboard of this thinline electro-acoustic has been decked out with an intricately inlaid and fully custom Tree of Death, a detail that Polyphia fans will probably already recognise, having seen it in the video for 'Playing God', or on the intro to 'Ego Death'. And now, they can get their grubby mitts on their very own example. The Sound Unplugged, this left-handed guitar has tight and modern, full range acoustic tone, which is projected with surprising clarity via the sound-port that's been cleverly cut out of the upper bout while, inside the body, FRH fan bracing packs the sound with warmth and character. Amplified, an acclaimed Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup combines with a potent Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp to translate the natural sound with faithful accuracy, and using the extensive set of control fitted on the side of the lower bout, tuning up and dialling in your stage-sound is made as smooth as possible.
