Meet the Ibanez TOD10 (Metallic Mauve)
If you’ve fallen down the Polyphia rabbit hole and your right hand won’t stop practicing ghost-notes, the Ibanez TOD10 Tim Henson – Metallic Mauve is the fast lane to those glassy cleans and hyper-articulate leads. Built with Tim, it blends AZ-series comfort with his modern tone blueprint — right down to the striking “Tree of Death” fingerboard inlay and Fishman Fluence multi-voice pickups. Available now at Colemans Music Melbourne with fast delivery Australia-wide.
Why the TOD10 is a Tim Henson Essential
-
Premium feel, stage-ready build. Roasted maple neck (Oval C), ebony fretboard, and 24 jumbo stainless frets deliver low-maintenance speed and clarity.
-
Fishman® Fluence™ Tim Henson Signatures (H/H). Three distinct voices per pickup — from hyper-clean, almost nylon-like textures to hot-rodded humbucker punch — controlled via 5-way switching and push/pull tone.
-
Rock-solid hardware. Gotoh® T1502 trem and MG-T locking tuners keep things stable for wide vibrato and quick string changes.
-
Iconic look, modern ergonomics. The Metallic Mauve finish pops under lights, while the sculpted AZ-inspired body stays comfy for long sessions.

About Tim Henson & Polyphia
Tim Henson co-leads Polyphia, the Texas-born, primarily instrumental progressive band known for fusing virtuosic guitar with hip-hop and electronic sensibilities. That genre-fluid DNA is exactly what the TOD10 is built to express — pristine cleans, percussive attack, and instant transitions into saturated leads.
Getting “the Tim thing” — Practical Tone Tips
-
Voice juggling: Use the Fluence neck Voice 2 for glassy, nylon-style comping; switch to bridge Voice 1 for articulate, modern leads.
-
Trem without drama: Match trem spring tension to your string gauge; MG-T lockers make pre-gig changes painless.
-
Pedalboard pairing: Tight compressors and transparent drives let the Fluence voicings shine. Visit us in South Melbourne (266 Coventry St) for pedalboard builds that suit your set.
