The Insane Story of Tim Hensons Signature Guitar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In this video I look at Tim Hensons T0D10N are how it came to be one of the top selling guitars of 2020. Polyphia have seen a massive gain in popularity over the last couple of years and their signature guitars are definitely a big part of their image.
This is the story of how the T0D10N was made.
Interview clips from @RickBeato

"ill just do it elsewhere" good move on Tim for making them create the guitar
Fr, he pulled the “if u don’t wanna thats fine, but ima do it”
Interesting enough, he would have gone through Tosin to have him make it.
Pure genius move go Timmy 😊
@@fireingracewouldve been just as sick tbh
@@TheDiamondBladeHD agreed👍
Tim : “you want free money?”
😂
The fact that he does'nt really care about the money is what makes money in this trade
When I saw Tim playing that guitar I contacted Ibanez asking where I could buy it ... they said "no plans to produce guitar at this stage" ... a few months later I ordered my TOD10n
Should've said you'll do it elsewhere.
During those months Tim said "I'll just do it elsewhere" about production of guitar
cries in lefthanded
@@ルリ-n3zthey make a left-handed version of it...
@@ルリ-n3zthey’ve added lefties! 😊
Tárrega holding a TOD10n is something I didn’t think I’d see
Thanks for watching until the end! 😂
@@richardplaysguitardidn't think i would find tarrega on here. Big fan! So i need to be a big fan of you now.
dang it now i have to watch this again, didnt catch that haha
@@TheScientist2233 come on now, nylon string electric is gonna be attracting all the classical guitarists
I think Tarrega would dig this guitar. I have one and I love it! Tone isn’t as good as my Cordoba, but the TOD10n is pretty and super comfortable to play
dang i guess i have become old enough to witness a legend of my generation to rise. tim henson is insanely good
Really glad I ordered mine back in November, it was worth the wait. Plays well, sounds well, looks great and very uncommon
Price please

@@Djitterbug thanks
He talked about writing the ”Playing God” riff and releasing it as an album teaser just to generate hype about the nylon electric as a proof of concept to Ibanez
And now it's back ordered many places between 6 and 9 months.
Tim made a whole discontinued model go from “who would ever play that” to “damn I want that guitar”
Fransico Tarrega with the Tim Henson model made me do a double take
This is kind of misrepresenting what happened. Tim said that he reached out and they pretty much said right away that they would do it. Tim just worded it like he would make his own like that without their support but in that interview he says that they were on board from the beginning.
Its a nice looking guitar. I never heard her music. Maybe i should check it out
does he know
The guitars tone sucks imo but his playing is insane
Tim knows how to market himself very very well, you see so many Ibanez artists but he is undoubtedly the one that may very well sell more guitars for Ibanez than Steve Vai. He understands how social media and youngsters work, smart move for him to introduce Tree of Death too and made that his signature.
The problem with major guitar companies, besides many ethical reasons, is they make production guitars at scale with varying degrees of quality ( yes, I'm looking at you gibson ) but a lot of them tend to just coast on being a legacy name selling guitars modeled on what other people have played and want. They dont innovate and are onky as good or as popular as the people who use them. In this sense, Gibson and fender are the woest. I mean, great, in theory, but if youre paying 2k and upwards for a guitar to have little attention to detail, however small, and no bispoke feel, then that is an insult to every musician. These brands only care about musicians shilling out and doing free publicity, but 2k to a tallented luthier is a significantly better investment for the same price and way more attention to detail for the guitsr you want and works for you.
And you don't wait in line for it!
@@JessicaMorganidepends on the luthier I know Manson at his peak had a waiting list of about 2 years, so sometimes if the luthier is good you REALLY gotta wait for it, I had to wait in line for about 6 months for my bass from a small luthier
Best move since they made the JEM for Vai
The dj khaled dancing as ibanez took me out😂😂😂 couldn't focus after that😂😂😂
Ibanez also made a fanfret acoustic that was badass.
I gotz one 🙋🏻♂️
I want to buy it tommorow ❤❤ and yamaha wireless acoustic amp ❤❤
Was great to see Tárrega with an Ibanez!
Thanks for watching till the end!
Carla Bruni plays the S model nylon in the film clip for "j'arrive à toi".
It's crazy to me to see Tim convince americans to buy a Brazilian guitar!
No matter how hard I try, I just can’t enjoy his playing
Haha. You know Tim threaned Ibanez in an indirect way when he told them he would it with elsewhere. 😂. How can they refuse one of the top Ibanez artist of our time?
Godin: Am I joke to you?
They are ass. Insanely overpriced. They managed to do it because of the lack of competition.
Nylon just feels better and sounds brighter
I WANT THIS BEAUTY, MANNNNNN I might save up for months just for this and the THBB10
people forget about the black beauty!
I read that as Jim Henson and was utterly confused
and still hard to get in 2023
Wonder what kind of crazy storm of coincidences made it a failure in the first place?
Should have made it like the rg series...
Played once, never gonna touch this guitar again... No thanks!
“Can you make this guitar”
“Yes”
What an insane story
The cheaper alternative...
Me: looks up how cheaper and finds out it's only $100 cheaper
bro that image where Francisco Tárrega holding a TD10N is fire bro ngl
"what the fuck is DAT" why does Tim say it like that and why is it so damn funny to me 🤣
The definition of “insane” needs to seriously be reevaluated.

It sounds cheap and thin. I don’t understand the hype (beyond the obvious Henson effect). All the warmth nylon gives is killed by this guitar. Way better options out there. Godin, Yamaha,…
I love the prototype "bread" guitar he had of this😂
I would do unspeakable things for the bread guitar. Its one of the sexiest guitars ive ever seen
Maybe now they can make one that sounds half as good as a Godin.
I'm kind if interested. I'm a fan of Ibanez instruments and taught myself basic guitar on a nylon acoustic. Would be interested on how this feels and the pricepoint
These suck though. Way too many problems
So their reasoning was cuz past failure, but now you have the one of the current BEST guitarist in the world asking for it.
Why was it hard to envision its success? 😂😂
I think it's a great guitar for what it does but most of that success is definitely only because of Polyphia. It's a "classical" guitar after all.
Those protecting pill content creators: It just a matrix attack! 🗣
Aba n preach:
I respect it but I personally don't like the guitar. But different styles you know😊
WHy would they refuse to make it for him when he puts it in one of his most view music video on the internet and tons of more views on tiktok... To sell guitars to kids who wanna pick one up cuz they got inspired by tim.
Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe it failed because it sounds like a toy ukulele you’d buy for 20 dollars before forgetting it at the bottom of your closet
Wow so Tim told them he will make it else where with another guitar company and they shit bricks and made it for him lol.... Tim has a lot of fans and Ibanez got scared they lose a lot of money if Tim went with another guitar company.
why not just buy a Godin? I have the 7 string classical multiac and it sounds incredible
Idk if i have ever seen tattoos not match a person quite this bad before. To each their own but man the type and even the placing absolutely dose not suit him. That being said he seems like a pretty kick ass player and has great taste in guitars.
Can't stand to look at him. I'll never listen to him. I just heard of this guy 2 days ago.
Never heard a story so "insane"
Insane! A guitar player asked for a guitar and the company eventually made it
@@szeretlek-sokpractically unheard of
the worst sounding guitar i've ever heard, honestly.
It's a crap guitar. You get what you pay for. Just my opinion.
I think its insane how much guitar players want to be like other guitarists. In my case I blame the autism
Seeing DJ Khaled in this video is blasphemy !!
nah..keep it. It looks like an overweight strat.....lol
So it’s not the guitar, but guitarist that makes the guitar. Or am I incorrect?
Yeah... If you grab a cheap nilon guitar and punch a hole in the back of it so it loses the bass resonances you get something similar!
only nylon string guitar I'd think about buying😊
Still can't get over the fact he has a face of a 12 year old
Yes and the guitar skills of Steve Vai on steroids.
Asian
@@Lovell93 they’re different styles entirely. Tim couldn’t play Vai’s stuff without lots of practice
@@FuriousGeorge_We let the fanboys set the tone for this overrated guy and now we all have to pay the awkward price
Haha Ibanez replied “no no no we want the moolah” 😂
imagine tarrega plays Playing God 😂
Trew me off guard with DJ Kahled
this is specifically for mexicans
Man, I wish they'd make another S-type one. Never been a fan of Telecasters, but love the concept. Fingers crossed it's only a matter of time.
Its a shait guitar. Just sold it thank god
This reminds me of this mitchell acoustic my neighbor has for sale because i can't find it on the internet.
The firs guitar I bought after my very first 40 dollar BMI chunk of plastic, and my first acoustic guitar. It's perfect.
And it's forever going to be sold out everywhere. Well done Tim
Cheap? Shut up and take my money!
awesome!! didn't know that Tarrega was Ibanez shredder back in the day...
few, thank god Im not that guy 😅
It's got a unique sound I like it. Truth be told the music world needs companies like Ibanez and Peavey. They make affordable gear that can handle being on tour and every now and then they make some really cool stuff and they will never turn down the chance to make something.
Love the terrega profile pic
"WIF is that" its funny as helll
Hope someone brings back the fender 1985 performer, such a beautiful guitar
Tárrega be shredding frfr
I-ba-nez wtf it's Ibanez
Thank you for this historical information I was very interested to find out where he got that guitar and how he got the idea for his own guitar.
I need a seven string model
Thats the insane story? 😅
and it sold but not worth it
i hate the sound of that guitar... but i like tim.
Is this chick Lesbianese?
This is my dream guitar
Well as you know that guitar WILL MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE HIM
The silver TOD10 is literally better than the TOD10N because it looks cooler
Nylon guitars have a wildly different sound that you can’t replicate with anything else, good move Ibanez. You would’ve regretted watching someone else have that success
Still have to use a waitlist to get one lol
Can't stand his playing . Looks ridiculous too .
As a Spaniard I was so confused hering Ibanez over and over. Then I realized they were saying Ibañez
I find it interesting how Ibanez has artist models for 20 people you've probably never heard of but they give Tim a hard time about this model.
This is the most underwhelming insane story I’ve ever heard
His guitar is really a beauty
If you order one today (dec 22 2023) from Sweetwater. Expect to get it mid April 2024.
THAT'S A NYLON ???
Whats the tuning
WOW THIS IS INSANE
