Ibanez TOD10 Pin Headson Signature - A Disappointing Review

[norminal]

Not good Ibanez…not good. As an Ibanez fanboy, this makes me very sad.

I mean; it is Tim Henson

Come on man! It’s “Pin Headson!”

It only works when you have your Shaggy Slips on.

It Does not do bends....ever !

Yeah, he really started to slip after Fraggle Rock.

That is typical of a mass production guitar. I'm not saying it's ok because it is far from ok but I see that level of poor finishing from most manufacturers at this price from time to time. The real lesson here is go to a store and pick one out for your self. Musical instrument made of wood will vary and I could probably just as easily find an exceptional Ibanez Premium. This is why I never buy a guitar for colour or (rarely new even ) without the ability to return it easily.

My MIJ Ibanez AZ was the most perfectly set up and playing guitar I've ever played, bought sight unseen, and shipped across the country in the winter. Someone else here bought the exact same model guitar and had a bunch of issues with theirs. It happens.

50+ Edgelord take: my fretboard certainly isn't a garden. Please get your weeds off it

I'm an unapologetic fan of the OG Jem Tree of Life inlay, but OMG the "every rose has its thorn" thing is sooooooooooo cheesy.

Also: vine and dots??

Brett Michaels solo band gig probably doesn't pay enough for young Timmy I am betting

From a design perspective, it's just kinda blah.
I'm actually surprised a bit, assuming this vid is legit, even the cheap Ibanez I've come across don't have issues like this. Especially with scratches and sanding. It's usually playability that has to be worked out.

I bought an Ibanez Prestige that was total trash, from my perspective. It can happen.

Tim calls it the “Tree of Death.”

But for one guitar to have THIS many issues - each of them this obvious? I think it’s pretty egregious, really. It looks like a used guitar that someone refinned - poorly - and bolted together with some random parts to pass off as a “signature” model.

And I love Ibanez, right down to the cheapo stuff.
