Ibanez has partnered with renowned guitarist Tim Henson for many years, culminating in the creation of his signature model, the TOD. This guitar, heavily influenced by the acclaimed Ibanez AZ model, features several unique modifications to perfectly complement Timβs versatile and dynamic playing style.
The TOD stands out not only for its superior sound quality and playability but also for its distinctive aesthetic features. The most striking of these is the fingerboard inlay design, which Tim has named the "Tree of Death." This design pays homage to the iconic Ibanez "Tree of Life" inlay but introduces a darker, more intricate twist. The "Tree of Death" is a visual representation of Tim's artistic vision, merging tradition with innovation to create a truly unique instrument.
From its meticulously selected tone woods to its high-profile electronics and hardware, every aspect of the Ibanez Premium series and the TOD is designed to inspire musicians to reach new heights in their creative journeyS
