Apart from the expected Super-Strat kind of deal, these models, called TOD10 and KRYS10, come with some high-end traits, including much-appreciated aesthetic features. He has taken that same approach with the TOD10N, his signature. Apart from this new nylon-string electro-acoustic guitar, Polyphia’s Tim Henson and Scott LePage teamed up with Ibanez for their own signature electric models. “And they’re like, ‘Well, you know, it really didn’t do well in 1998…’ I was just like, ‘What the fuck!’ So, we made Playing God and I sent it to them, and told them, ‘If you don’t make this guitar, some other brand will – and you’re going to lose out on a lot of fucking money.’ Then they were like, ‘Oh shit, yeah let’s do it.’” As an artist, Tim Henson is always trying to update, invigorate and reinvent his bands image. “I called Ibanez and said, ‘Hey, I want a signature of this,’” he continued. “I thought, ‘What the fuck is this thing?’ I texted Ibanez and they told me it was a discontinued, commercially unsuccessful model from 1998.” “I was in Europe, in 2019, in a pawn shop, and saw an Ibanez nylon electric guitar and I picked it up,” Henson recalled. The Ibanez TOD10N Tim Henson Signature Nylon String Guitar is Dedicated to Playability and Unmistakable Sound Across Broad Ranges A walnut fretboard. Speaking to Revolver last month, Henson revealed the Japanese brand was hesitant to explore the nylon-string route due to the poor performance of a similar model in the late ‘90s, but were forced to reconsider after the success of the band's acoustic single, Playing God. With a 16 fingerboard radius and a 48mm nut width, the Stage offers a thinner platform for players. After all, it was the Polyphia virtuoso who first worked hard to convince Ibanez to revive and reboot one of its discontinued nylon-string models for his signature guitar. Arriving when next-gen guitar heroes such as Tim Henson and Scott LePage of Polyphia are leading a pop-cultural resurgence in the nylon-string guitar, the Stage’s timing could not be better.
Fans of the new FRH10N have Henson to thank for its existence.
