When you need to shatter genre boundaries and create soundscapes that leave your audience spellbound, the Ibanez TOD70 Tim Henson Signature 7-String is your go-to instrument. Designed in collaboration with Tim Henson, the creative powerhouse behind Polyphia, this guitar is built for technical prowess and artistic freedom. It’s a vehicle for your creativity, enabling you to jump from searing, technical riffs to delicate acoustic-like cleans with just a flip of a switch.
Tim Henson has become a symbol of modern guitar virtuosity, combining progressive rock’s precision with the fluidity of hip-hop, R&B, and jazz. The TOD70 captures his genre-defying approach, allowing players to channel Tim’s expressive and dynamic style, making it perfect for anything from intricate fingerstyle patterns to high-gain, harmonic-rich leads.
Sonic Versatility and Precision Engineering
This 7-string marvel is loaded with the Fishman® Fluence™ Tim Henson Signature Series humbuckers, known for their pristine clarity and powerful attack. With these pickups, you can transition effortlessly from lush cleans that shimmer with every note to rich and aggressive rhythms that cut through the densest mixes. The Voicing switch gives you access to Tim’s preferred tonal palette, making it easy to explore everything from the heavy, percussive tones Polyphia is known for to his more ethereal and airy clean sounds.
The American Basswood body delivers a balanced and natural tone, while the roasted maple neck adds a tight response and durability, ensuring you can shred, tap, and bend with total confidence. Add in the silky Ebony fretboard and stainless steel frets, and you have a guitar that responds instantly to your touch, offering unparalleled playability and sustain.
The Gotoh® T1572S tremolo ensures that you have total control over pitch manipulation, making those dive-bombs and subtle vibratos feel like second nature. Tuning stability is a given, thanks to the Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads, letting you focus on your playing instead of retuning.
Whether you’re pushing the limits of modern progressive rock or crafting your own fusion of genres, the TOD70 is a statement piece, offering both aesthetic beauty and versatile performance.
