Designed in close collaboration with Tim Henson, this premium signature model combines a basswood body with a roasted maple neck for balanced warmth and clarity. Powered by Tim's signature Fishman Fluence pickups, you have access to a spectrum of tones from thick humbucker leads to hyper-clean single-coil combinations with the turn of a knob. The Tree of Death fingerboard inlay and luminescent side dots make a bold visual statement on stage. For progressive players seeking a modern metal tone machine, the Ibanez Tim Henson Signature inspires with its flawless construction and wealth of tonal possibilities.
Premium Construction and Resonant Tonewoods
As part of Ibanez's Premium series, the Tim Henson Signature is crafted with select tonewoods and high-end components for an unparalleled playing experience. The basswood body delivers a balanced tone with tight lows and sparkling highs. Combined with a roasted maple neck, you get a quick attack, rich sustain and excellent clarity. The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth feel under your fingers, while jumbo stainless steel frets offer effortless playability for complex chords and single-note runs.
Signature Pickups Span a Spectrum of Tones
Codesigned with Tim Henson, the Fishman Fluence Tim Henson signature pickups provide a range of tones ideal for progressive music. The neck pickup offers three distinct voices: a thick humbucker, a hyper-clean single-coil and Tim's fluid neck single-coil tone. The bridge pickup also provides three voices, including a hot-rodded humbucker, Tim's favorite bridge humbucker and his ideal single-coil bridge tone. A push-pull tone knob lets you instantly switch between voices for dynamic tone shaping on the fly.
Progressive Aesthetics and Playability
Visually, the Tim Henson Signature makes a bold statement with its Tree of Death fingerboard inlay, a twist on Ibanez's iconic Tree of Life. Luminescent side dots also provide visibility on dark stages. For tuning stability, Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads keep your strings locked in place. The Gotoh T1502 tremolo bridge also offers improved articulation and a quick response for fluid lead work. Combined with its thin, fast Nitro Wizard neck, the Tim Henson Signature offers a playing experience tailored to progressive metal styles.
