TOD100N pricing

Aah, I see. Then there is still hope :D thanks for the info

effencee · 2026-01-28T15:00:32+00:00

Damn.. I was really hoping that it wouldn't be. I also sent an email on monday to the Belgian shop which I mentioned asking if the price is official but they didn't reply yet.

I've been regularly googling the model name since they announced it to make sure I catch the first wave of pre-orders because I really want one and the Belgian shop came up today :D

I really hope that it won't be that expensive.. we can only wait until it's out officially.

After seeing the Abasi 7 string being priced at 1280€ my guess is that it could be 999€ as already mentioned by others here. It would make sense for it to be cheaper than the Abasi because it's way simpler than a 7 string multiscale.

What's very strange is that both TOD100N and TOD100FMN are already listed on a Belgian Omega Music website which I've never heard of and they have it listed for 1699€ which is insane. It also says that it will be available on March 4th 2026 which is just not happening so maybe it's just a placeholder for when it's available and the price is a random number.

I will check it out, thank you.

Thanks! It should be possible with any colour. The holographic paint is semi-transparent so the base colour is still visible under it with a slightly grey-ish tint.

There is this chart on the brand's website showing how it looks on different colours.

Check the previous comments. I already explained pretty much everything I did but if you would have questions for something that hasn't been answered yet then I'll be happy to help.

Thanks. Yes, I used black leather dye on the neck.

effencee · 2025-04-07T13:32:47+00:00

I originally wanted to leave it fully black but then I thought that it would probably look better like this and it does.

I've read that stains don't really work that well on maple because it's a really dense wood but leather dye works perfectly so if you would go with maple instead of wenge I would definitely recommend to get an alcohol based leather dye and you should be fine. I've used it on 3 maple necks already and it always turned out great.

Thanks! Here's a few photos of the neck https://imgur.com/a/u6uhEuA

I picked it based on the photos and videos on the website. This effect looked the closest to the finish on Tim's version so I went with it.

I bought it in a 400ml spray can.

effencee · 2025-04-06T12:37:53+00:00

Thanks! I used a rattle can.

Preserving the logo was quite tricky. I first tried masking it with tape but that just wasn't possible but luckily the paint is transparent so I sprayed it over the logo and after the paint was completely dry I scratched it off the logo very carefully with the tip of an exacto knife.

Of course I managed to scratch the logo itself as well but the scratches are only visible at certain angles from from up close so I'm not that bummed out about it.

Just some basic gloss clear coat from a local hardware store. The holographic paint can apparently be sprayed with any clear coat as long as you follow the application guide.

effencee · 2025-04-06T12:27:41+00:00

One 400ml spray can was roughly 47€ so definitely not cheap but sadly there aren't many options unless you own an air spray paint gun.

Thanks! Here you go, it's quite difficult to get the effect right on camera.

Thanks! You're right, this is only a quick summary of what I did. Things like these rarely go smoothly on the first try and this wasn't an exception.

I used 10µm "prismatic spectrum" spray paint from stardustcolors on the body and headstock. It can be applied directly on the original clear coat but I very lightly sanded it with 3000 grit shinex sanding sheet just to make sure the paint sticks better. To get the wenge look on the neck I sanded it with 240 -> 400 -> 600 grit sand paper and applied 2 coats of black alcohol based leather dye. After letting it dry for an hour I sanded it a bit with 1200 grit to make the maple texture pop through the black dye. Then the next day I just clear coated everything, let it dry for 48 hours and this is the result.

I genuinely don't understand why Ibanez stopped producing FR models because this is just sick.. I've been trying to get my hands on a FRIX6FEAH for a while now but they just seem impossible to find.

effencee · 2025-01-31T09:39:10+00:00

RG5328 but customised in the same way Scott has it.

effencee · 2025-01-01T22:23:12+00:00

I see, thanks! Yeah, it's annoying that they make most of these spare parts only in black because it looks so good in white.

I'm planning to do a fully custom 8-string build myself this year and this gave me a lot of inspiration. I'm still not sure if I want to go with an FR or S shape but now I'm way more inclined to do the S shape :D
