Description

Tim Henson is a modern virtuoso! Lead guitarist and primary songwriter for instrumental prog-rock band Polyphia, Henson has developed a unique style that's instantly recognisable — fusing intricately catchy melodies with a sophisticated percussive approach. As an artist, Henson is always trying to update, invigorate and reinvent his band's image. He has taken that same approach with the TOD10N, his signature nylon-string electric guitar. The TOD's most striking aesthetic feature is the fingerboard inlay design, which Tim has dubbed as the "Tree of Death". The name and the design are both nods to the iconic Ibanez "Tree of Life" inlay design synonymous with Steve Vai's JEM line of signature models, but with a darker twist! Key Features Fishman Sonicore Pickup & Ibanez AEQ210TF Preamp — Fishman- Sonicore pickup accurately translates a full guitar sound to whatever amplification system you plug into, while the AEQ210TF preamp provides the extra punch of onboard EQ and the convenience of an easy-to-read digital tuner. Modified FR Hollow Body with Fan Bracing — This thin, compact body with a deep cutaway contributes to the superb playability of this guitar. It has less feedback as there's no soundhole on the body top. Fan bracing, which is commonly used for classical guitars, allows this guitar to have a warm and natural nylon-string sound. Solid Sitka Spruce Top — Provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied bass response. Sapele Back & Sides — Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone. Side Sound Port — The sound port on the body side allows you to feel and hear the pure acoustic tone of this guitar more clearly and directly. Walnut Fingerboard — Features a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end. Walnut Bridge — Transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.
