Ibanez THBB10
Ibanez · electric guitar
The Ibanez THBB10 is Tim Henson's AZ series signature electric guitar, introduced in 2019. The guitar features an American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with roasted maple fingerboard and 24 stainless steel frets. The 25.5 inch scale length and 42mm nut width accommodate modern technique and provide excellent sustain. Custom DiMarzio Notorious pickups in HSS configuration deliver a mini-humbucker bridge for output and articulation, with single-coils in the neck and middle positions for tonal flexibility. The heat-treated maple construction provides well-balanced attack, rich sustain, and hyper-defined mids ideal for both clean and overdriven contexts. The T1502 synchronized tremolo enables responsive pitch manipulation.
