Ibanez Signature Models | TOD70 - Tim Henson (Polyphia) - 7-String - Silver

Introducing the Ibanez TOD70, the signature guitar of the remarkable Tim Henson, acclaimed guitarist of the progressive rock sensation, Polyphia. Merging unrivalled craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, the TOD70 is a guitar that pushes the boundaries of performance and delivers an unparalleled playing experience.

At the heart of this masterpiece is the AZ7 Oval C Roasted Maple neck, meticulously heat-treated to enhance its stability, durability, moisture resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes.

The TOD70 boasts an Ebony fretboard, renowned for producing tight lows and midranges, accompanied by a strong attack in the high-end frequencies, resulting in a perfect balance of tones that captivate listeners with every note. With 24 Jumbo Stainless Steel frets and a 25.5" scale length, this guitar offers effortless playability, facilitating fluid movements across the fretboard and providing exceptional comfort for those extended jam sessions.

Crafted with precision, the American Basswood body brings forth a natural and flat tonal quality, emphasising the full spectrum of your sound. Its resonance and response make it a preferred choice for countless artists and enthusiasts alike.

A defining feature of the TOD70 is the inclusion of Tim Henson's signature Fishman Fluence pickups. This cutting-edge technology expands the guitar's tonal range, offering a seamless transition between aggressive lead and rhythm tones, and even providing access to the cleanest single-coil combinations previously only attainable with acoustic guitars. The neck pickup boasts three distinctive voices: a thick and smooth humbucker, a hyper-clean, nylon-string surrogate, and Tim's personal favourite, the fluid neck single coil. The bridge pickup also provides three distinct voices: the quintessential lead tone of a generation, a combination of Tim's preferred bridge humbuckers, and an ideal single-coil combination when paired with the neck coil. This versatility allows you to explore a vast soundscape, inspiring creativity and musical expression like never before.

Enhancing the guitar's flexibility is the Fishman Fluence Voicing switch, conveniently located on the tone control (push/pull). With this feature, you can easily switch between three musically complementary voices, enabling you to adapt your sound effortlessly to different playing styles and genres.

The TOD70 is equipped with the Gotoh T1527S tremolo, boasting steel saddles and a steel tremolo block. These components ensure a quick response and improved articulation, making your melodies sing with clarity and expression. Additionally, the 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across the strings, while the snap-in construction simplifies tremolo arm usage, letting you create smooth and emotive vibrato effortlessly.

Rounding off the ensemble of high-quality components, the Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads offer precise tuning stability, guaranteeing your notes stay in perfect pitch during any performance. The luminescent side dot inlays further enhance the TOD70's stage presence, ensuring you remain oriented on the fretboard even in dimly lit environments, so you can focus on delivering an unforgettable show.
