      I’m wondering if his is a prototype since the headstock is black, mine is brown. I know he won it from them so maybe a first batch thing

      ​@@anthonygunnip8779 i think it was maded specially for tim henson, he said in one video that this guitar was a commercial flaw in the 90's and they would never put it back to market, but polyphia sent the demo of "Playing God" to ibanez and asked them to create a new version of it, so his guitar was probably one of the first and customized the way he wanted. Playing God was one of their best songs and revived this guitar that literally nobody wanted in the 90's.

      7 string just has an added lower string so its not really any different other than shifting those notes.

      There is this limitation to the sound that acoustic guitars (and the electrics) can produce; surely this is already the best-sounding cover it possibly is, without any multi-tracks involved in the sense that there is only one recording of each type of guitars involved in this cover
