The Ibanez TOD100N represents the next evolution of Tim Henson's signature nylon-string guitar, combining premium tonewoods, cutting-edge Fishman® electronics, and an innovative chambered body design to deliver an exceptionally natural acoustic experience with the comfort of a modern electric guitar. Built for today's versatile guitarist, the TOD100N seamlessly transitions from intimate acoustic performances to professional stage and studio applications.
A solid Sitka Spruce top provides remarkable dynamic range with sparkling highs, articulate mids, and a rich, balanced low end. Complementing the top are solid Okoume back and sides, adding warmth, resonance, and impressive projection while enhancing the guitar's natural acoustic character.
The modified FR chambered body is engineered to maximize resonance while reducing feedback. Instead of a traditional soundhole, the Side Sound Port allows players to hear the instrument more directly, creating a more immersive playing experience. The chambered construction also enables sculpted body contours and a seamless neck joint, resulting in exceptional comfort and effortless access to the upper frets.
The comfortable C-shaped Nyatoh neck is paired with a premium Ebony fretboard featuring Tim Henson's distinctive Tree of Death inlay. The combination of a narrow 46mm nut width and 400mm radius fretboard offers smooth, familiar playability for both electric and classical guitarists, while the comfort heel and contoured cutaway encourage unrestricted movement across the entire fingerboard.
At the heart of the TOD100N is its sophisticated Fishman® electronics package. The Fishman® Acoustic Matrix™ undersaddle pickup delivers exceptional clarity and articulation, while the Bridge Mounted Body Pickup captures the instrument's natural resonance and percussive detail. Powered by the customized Fishman® Aura® Tim Henson preamp, Aura Acoustic Imaging technology recreates the sound of a professionally miked nylon-string guitar, allowing players to blend pickup and body signals for stunning depth and realism. Stereo output capability further expands creative possibilities by allowing independent routing of the undersaddle and body pickups.
Additional premium appointments include an Ebony double hole bridge for faster string changes and improved tuning stability, elegant Rosewood body binding, Gold Classical tuners, and the included THGB1 Tim Henson Signature Gig Bag for secure transportation and protection.
