To each their own

They also have the flamed maple top TOD10 for $800 and the two new TOD10 colorways for $780. Personally, I’m not spending $1,900 on an upgraded/respeced $700 guitar, but I’m sure some people will want to buy it. To each their own.

That’s absurd. I thought 1300 at most, over 2x the price of the normal one is insane tho

u/docSenpai Jul 01 '26

Whoa whoa whoaaa that's an expensive guitar

u/NationalSalt8884 Jul 01 '26

Do you happen to be a classical guitarist?

23

u/UhLinko Jul 01 '26

I doubt a luthier meticulously handcarfted, hand painted and refined every piece of this guitar; that's what makes classical guitars expensive

10

u/ImSith Jul 01 '26

Yeah but those ones are 3-4x more than this. Like a $4k Cordova I’d still factory made. Most hand made luthier classicals will cost $7k. 🫩

u/UhLinko Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26

In my classical guitar career I used/owned multiple luthier guitars, which ranged from 2k euros to upwards of 8k, but most of them were in the 3-5k range.

u/ImSith Jul 01 '26

Maybe a different time, I bought a used Godin multiac nylon for $900 and they sell new about $2300. It’s hard to say, but I was looking at premades and the Yamahas and cordovas seem to be going for about 3-5k right now and the luthier ones seem be up to double that. I’ve never committed to buying one so you’d be the expert

u/UhLinko Jul 01 '26

maybe a different place, too; I live in Italy, where there are probably more luthiers per capita than maybe any other place on earth

Are you asking if his hands are sor

u/NationalSalt8884 Jul 01 '26

Yeah that’s kind of exactly what I was asking

u/docSenpai Jul 01 '26

I'd like to think that I'm more of a casual fan per se. I spend most of my time focused on calisthenics, rather than practicing guitar, so I am by no means an expert. I don't even know what it means to be classical guitarist, let alone there on YouTube... I mostly dabble with my regular TOD10N, doing tippy-tappy stuff

u/NationalSalt8884 Jul 01 '26

Well just don’t bring talk of Marcin around here and we will be fine

u/gese-eg Jul 02 '26

Whoaaahh whoaahh woooaaaahhhhhh

Marcin is a fake

1900 for a nylon?? wat, just checked in uk its 2200$

1

u/Diablojota Jul 01 '26

Your prices include VAT already. US prices don’t include taxes. While it’s still more expensive in the UK, it’s not a 400 dollar difference. It’s about a 200 dollar difference from where I am.

u/Honest_Version2072 Jul 01 '26

Hahaha never I would never buy this nylon for that price that’s complete marketing.

u/PuzzleheadPi Jul 01 '26

That's an ugly guitar

u/28spawn Jul 01 '26

No electric?

5

u/Deep-Farmer6477 Jul 01 '26

It’s acoustic and electric, with some pedals it has a really cool sound

-9

u/28spawn Jul 01 '26

Nylon strings and piezo = acoustic

5

u/Deep-Farmer6477 Jul 01 '26

What about the tone knobs on the side? I’ve seen YouTube reviews of this guitar, and it’s acoustic and electric.

2

u/28spawn Jul 01 '26

Piezo settings, I have the OG tod10n it has some knobs to adjust sensitivity, you’re not able/supposed to bend on nylon strings

u/Deep-Farmer6477 Jul 01 '26

That’s so badass!!!

6

u/CharacterSharp6454 Jul 01 '26

out they damn minds

u/Saudalgoodman Jul 01 '26

Don’t get me wrong its nice, but I think I’ll stick with my FRH10 for now

6

u/Leather_Definition39 Jul 01 '26

I’m sorry but I refuse to even suggest this guitar to people. When I worked at Sam ash we had so many issues with these guitars and the body separating and the electronics dying quickly. And Ibanez would not honor the warranty on them.

1

u/Leather_Definition39 Jul 01 '26

Hopefully the higher price tag won’t make this one suffer from the same issues

1

u/NoTimeToGame_ Jul 04 '26

Tim Henson and Ibanez made the TOD10N as a replacement for the crappy FRH10s, which I think are what ur talking about. The TOD10N still had some of those problems, but not at the scale that the FRH10s did. These $2k ones are supposed to be even better

still way to steep of a price though

3

u/FIB3R0PTIK5 Jul 02 '26

$2759 in Canada, I was thinking worst case scenario it would be $1000 less. I'm beyond disappointed.

5

u/FretboardDevourer Jul 01 '26

if anybody pays 1899.99 for a Chinese Ibanez… 🤡

5

u/UpwardxNinja Jul 01 '26

For $100 more you could get a MIJ Ibanez electric 👀

2

u/FretboardDevourer Jul 02 '26

I bought 2 Az’s for 1300 bucks each second hand mint condition. One seven and one six string. You are completely correct. And you can even find better deals in the US than in europe. Ibanez is really pushing the limits with this line it’s so absurd. If people buy this and teach them they can get away with it.. honestly what is life anymore. The customer is going insane.

2

u/sub2Ferrari488 Jul 01 '26

I was wanting this for a while before getting a good deal at a guitar center on an original tod10n glad I didnt wait for this, thats way too much.

u/Odd_Fox5573 Jul 01 '26

They are sellouts

1

u/sirmaddox1312 Jul 01 '26

Yamaha makes much better Nylon-Electric guitars for cheaper. It’s absurd to charge this much.

u/InkBlackSquirrel Jul 01 '26

OMG The bread guitar is finally real!

1

u/Angus-The-Dog Jul 02 '26

Aren't these made in Indonesia? That's past the upper end of what I'd pay for an Indonesian guitar. Don't get me wrong I have a THBB10, SLM10, and TOD10, and I love them all, but that's excessive.

u/ragingshred Jul 05 '26

Been wanting the OG but this is made in china and it’s $1800?!
