A groundbreaking nylon-string electric designed with Tim Henson featuring electric-standard scale length, flat radius, 24 frets, and Fishman piezo pickup, bridging classical expressiveness and modern technique.
The TOD10N is a disruptor. While categorized here under electrics, it's really a hybrid that solves the 'nylon-string problem' for stage performers. The ultra-thin FRH body feels immediately familiar to those coming from an RG background, ditching the cumbersome depth of a traditional classical guitar. The solid spruce top provides enough snap for those signature Henson 'thumps,' but the real magic happens when plugged in. The Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez preamp offer a clean, direct signal that resists the feedback issues typical of hollow nylon guitars.
Acoustically, the 'Player Port' on the upper bout is a genius addition, giving the player a direct monitor of their performance in a quiet room, though it won't fill a concert hall. The 'Tree of Death' inlay is visually stunning, though some might find the Indonesian factory finish a bit 'utility' upon close inspection. The 46mm nut width is the sweet spot"wider than a Strat but narrower than a standard classical"making complex fingerstyle voicings accessible without the hand fatigue of a traditional wide, flat neck. It's not a purist's instrument; it's a specialized tool for the modern genre-blender. For the price, it's an unbeatable entry into high-performance nylon textures.
