Want an Ibanez TOD10N? Check These 3 Guitars Instead
Музыка
Like it or hate it, the Ibanez Tim Henson TOD10n has been one of the most popular guitars of 2023! It's that popular that whenever one arrives with us at guitarguitar it's usually gone in the same day to some very happy customers. In this video, Keiran shows off 3 alternatives to the very popular nylon string acoustic guitar, which are all slightly cheaper & sound and play just as great.

I think another appealing high purchase factor for the TOD10N is the build quality and the details that is put in the inlays and accessories which looks premium and classy.
I bought the cordoba stage when they first hit your stores. Would still be my first choice.
Man the Cordova sound is just butter to my ears
Great video, man! If you get a chance, please do a vid comparing the two available tops/fingerboards for that Cordoba. Spruce/Cedar/PauFerro, etc...
Thanks for the excellent video. I think i just made the decision to go with the frh10n.
Beautiful playing man!! I recently got the FRH10N it plays so nice, I didn' consider that cordoba had a cool nylon guitar!
I had the Cordoba Stage before buying the TOD10n ... but I find myself playing the Ibanez more!

The Cordoba finish is way too glossy for my taste. Both Ibanez models have a nicer satin finish throughout

That's interesting.... the Cordoba sounds so warm and I like the electronic controls options. I'm kinda partial to an Ibanez as a brand but the Cordoba has piqued my interest.

@@michaelgottlieb9083I have a cordoba c5-ce & I love it. I have been stuck between the Stage & the TOD10N… but I’m not a huge fan of the whole plinkity plink sound of these thinner body guitars, so I’m afraid I might not really care for either of them. The cordoba does sound quite a bit fuller than the TOD10N, though.

Good range of alternatives. I'm surprised you did not include the GA35TCE in the demo. And maybe the Yamaha Silent ... My GA35 plugged into a Bose T4S offers a wide range of tones 🙂

I totally agree! The Ibanez GA35TCE sounds BETTER than the Tim Henson. So I bought the GA35
Thomann has one aswell, Thomann classic crossover nylon, it pretty much looks like the cordoba. I own one, and its a really nice guitar for the price! If you wanna try these thin body nylons, its a decent start
Can’t help but wondering how many more base models would sell if they had a simple volume control, plus tone.. Adjusting volume by running to the PA board ain’t gonna cut it.
As someone who is getting up in age and having some hand issues are these guitars easier to fret than your typical steel string? Thank you.
Just from what I heard from your demonstration, the Tim Henson model sounded the least appealing, with the least sustain. I actually noticed the same thing in the Ibanez promo video with Tim Henson himself playing it. However thank you very much for this video, I was unaware of the alternatives. I will definitely check out the Cordoba and the Yamaha.
the cordoba sounds the best in my opinion
What type of desktop-sized speakers is the factory sound profile of TOD10N suitable for?

What you're looking for are called "studio monitors." They're made to be as flat as possible for music making. The KRK Classics and Yamaha HS are popular options!
Have you ever played at Godin? I would like to know if you think this is better than Godin?
How do you get that buzzy sound?
Cordoba is my choice
Cordoba is the detroyer of worlds. Sound is louder, softer, reactive and great quality build.
Cordoba looks amazing but it's to wide neck for my smol fingers
0:26 what song is that? it sound catchy :)

Well the last one is a completely different thing, but out of the first two, the Cordoba sounds better for sure.

What do the tattoos on your fingers mean
I liked the Yamaha best and the Córdova. But I love how the Córdova looks. I’m glad you made this video. Didn’t know there were other options.

I went with the TOD. In my opinion right now is the best time to go for it as it's in st9ck most vendors now and I had to wait almost a year for mine on back order. It's much prettier for sure and I like the phase button that the tod has vs the frh not really having any kind of preamp feature. The tuner is ass so you're going to end up tuning by ear for the nylon strings es0ecially. You want the g string a little flat because it doesn't sound quite right fully in tune but that may be due strictly to the fact it's a nylon. As far as aesthetics i awe at my guitar every time i pick it up and it's definitely pl2asing to the eyes for if you're doing something live. The tod10n matches my tattoos so as far as look I say you're getting bang for your buck but i also wouldnt mind having the frh 10n in the future to go along with it. In conclusion the tod10n is mainly depending on what catches your eyes and fits you as a player. If you just want a nylon with a fretboard you can hit the higher notes easily on and dont care much for the look id say go frh. They both use the exact same case as well.

As far as specs they both have same specs except the frh10n doesn't have the classic gold tune keys or the mother of pearl binding. They both have Walnut fretboard, nyatoh necks, sapele back and sides, and a spruce top. The spruce top on the TOD is matte black finish so If you're not a fan of cleaning your guitar or fingerprints I'd say go with the frh. The sapele sides and back are also a darker finish on the tod. Either way though both these guitars will have your buddies saying "what the hell is that frankenstein" when they see it for the first time. Great conversation piece for sure.
Ntx1 is the only thing close i have on sale where i live anyway, so i guess I'm gonna get that. A pity it looks shit though
I sure wish these people would play some regular chords.
Just wait until all the flash lads have gave up guitar and there will be plenty of tim henson nylon strings on sale

Ibanez Tim Henson TOD10n is a trash guitar. Ibanez must have rushed it through the factory to meet demand. I got mine on 5/23 and sent back due to shit sound. The mid control is not included on the onboard EQ plus cosmetic imperfections. The Cordoba Stage is not great either, mainly due to the weird neck width. None of them meet the playability & sound of my Taylor Academy 12e-N Grand Concert Nylon. Polyphia is an amazingly epic band. I saw them when they came to Portland OR @ the Roseland. I got a meet & greet ticket as well. Great humble group of guys especially the Clay's. There were so many TOD10n's there, I was grateful to have had one in hand. Buy a quality instrument, not gimmicks or 'darling of the moment' guitars.
Everyone should definitely get one of those other guitars, or just a standard classical guitar. No one should buy the Tim Hanson guitar just out of principle. The guy is pretentious and hasn’t earned his cred. That flower on the neck instead of the standard alternating marks or inlay is just a bad design decision.
По мне так отвратительный звук. Кордоба стэйдж или пруденсио шэдоу звучат куда интереснее. Ну или в крайнем случае Годин джи-тур.
Nice comparison, thank you. Can't stand Tim Henson or Polyphia. That alone stops me from buying anything associated with him/them. Don't understand why Ibanez agreed to make that stupid guitar for him. They already had their similar model. After playing several options. I bought the Cordoba Stage and would do it again.
