Ibanez THBB10 Electric Guitar
The THBB10 is an AZ series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2019. It is the first Ibanez signature model for American guitarist Tim Henson of the instrumental rock band Polyphia. It was produced in Indonesia as part of the mid-tier Premium line.
The THBB10 features an American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with a roasted maple fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets, acrylic & abalone split block position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include custom DiMarzio Notorious pickups mounted in a black pickguard with a mini-humbucker at the bridge and single-coils in the neck and middle positions, a T1502 two-point synchronized tremolo bridge, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut and an angled output jack. It has Gotoh MG-T locking tuning machines with the thumb wheel locking mechanism rather than the adjustable height H.A.P.M locking tuners which are on the other AZ guitars.
The BB in the model number stands for Black Beauty as the guitar borrow some aesthetics (black finish, gold hardware and pickup covers, block inlays) from the classic Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty.[1]
Two new models for Henson, the acoustic TOD10N and the electric TOD10, were introduced in late 2022.
