Ibanez TOD100FMN Tim Henson Signature Nylon-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Toasted Marshmallow

Tim Henson has never approached the nylon-string guitar as a traditional instrument, and the Ibanez TOD100FMN Tim Henson signature reflects that same boundary-pushing philosophy. The TOD100FMN reimagines the category entirely, combining premium tonewoods, advanced Fishman electronics and contemporary playability into a remarkably versatile instrument. Built upon Ibanez's ultra-thin FRH platform, the TOD100FMN pairs a visually striking flamed maple top with solid okoume back and sides, traditional fan bracing and a unique chambered construction to create a voice that feels lively, responsive and exceptionally connected to the player. A slim C nyatoh set neck and 15.75" radius ebony fingerboard provide an immediately familiar experience for electric guitar players, while Fishman's Acoustic Matrix pickup system and Aura technology deliver impressively natural amplified tone. Finished with an ebony double-hole bridge, distinctive rosewood body binding and Tim Henson's signature Tree of Death inlay, the TOD100FMN is a bold reinterpretation of what a modern nylon-string guitar can be.

Flamed Maple Top and Solid Okoume With Ultra-Thin FRH Construction

The TOD100FMN's modified FRH chambered body gives it an unusually sleek and approachable feel for a nylon-string instrument, while traditional fan bracing allows the top to respond with impressive sensitivity and dynamic range. The flamed maple top contributes clarity, articulation and visual depth, pairing beautifully with solid okoume back and sides that add warmth, richness and focused midrange response. Together, they create an acoustic character that feels immediate and expressive beneath the fingers. A side sound port further enhances that connection, directing more of the guitar's natural voice toward the player for a more immersive playing experience.

Slim C Nyatoh Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for a Fast, Comfortable Feel

A slim C-shaped nyatoh neck gives the TOD100FMN an immediately familiar feel, helping bridge the gap between traditional nylon-string instruments and the expectations of modern electric guitar players. Paired with an ebony fingerboard, the neck delivers a fast, articulate response with strong note definition and impressive sustain. The combination of a 1.81" nut width and a 15.75" radius creates a comfortable playing surface that accommodates intricate chord voicings, fluid lead work and contemporary techniques with ease. Together, these elements make the TOD100FMN feel remarkably approachable while retaining the expressive character that defines a great nylon-string guitar.

Fishman Aura Electronics for Clear, Natural Amplified Tone

The TOD100FMN pairs a Fishman Acoustic Matrix undersaddle pickup with a bridge-mounted body sensor and Fishman's acclaimed Aura preamp technology. Working together, the system captures both the direct detail of the strings and the resonance of the instrument itself, producing a more natural and convincing amplified voice than traditional undersaddle systems alone. The result is exceptional clarity, depth and realism whether performing through a PA, recording direct or plugging into an acoustic amplifier. By preserving more of the instrument's acoustic character, the TOD100FMN delivers a plugged-in experience that feels every bit as inspiring as playing it unplugged.

Signature Tim Henson Appointments and Stage-Ready Hardware

Every visual detail of the TOD100FMN reflects Tim Henson's distinctive artistic identity. The signature Tree of Death inlay offers a modern reinterpretation of Ibanez's iconic Tree of Life motif, while rosewood body binding provides an elegant contrast to the guitar's Toasted Marshmallow Matte finish. Gold classical tuners reinforce the premium presentation and provide smooth, reliable tuning adjustment. An ebony double-hole bridge simplifies restringing by eliminating the need for traditional tie blocks while helping maintain consistent string tension and tuning stability. A Tim Henson signature gig bag is also included for convenient protection and transport.
