FAQs

Does the TOD70 require batteries?

Can I use standard 6-string pedals with this guitar?

Yes, the TOD70 is compatible with any standard guitar pedals and amplifiers.

Are the frets stainless steel?

Yes, the TOD70 comes standard with durable stainless steel frets.

How often should I change the battery?

Battery life varies based on usage, but typically lasts several months of regular playing. It is recommended to unplug the cable when not in use.

Is this guitar suitable for styles other than progressive rock?

Absolutely. The versatility of the Fishman Fluence pickups makes this guitar excellent for jazz, fusion, metal, and pop.

Troubleshooting

No sound output from the guitar

Check if the 9V battery inside the control cavity is depleted and replace it if necessary.

Excessive noise or buzzing

Verify that your instrument cable is fully functional and check that all active electronic connections are secure.

Tuning instability during tremolo use

Ensure the Gotoh locking machine heads are fully tightened and check that strings are properly stretched and seated in the bridge saddles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional upper-fret access due to the Super All Access Neck Joint
  • Highly versatile tonal options via the Fishman Fluence signature electronics
  • Durable stainless steel frets for longevity and smooth playability
  • Excellent tuning stability provided by Gotoh locking hardware
  • Ergonomic body design optimized for long practice or studio sessions

Cons

  • 7-string configuration requires a learning curve for standard 6-string players
  • Requires active battery power for the Fishman Fluence pickup system
  • High-end specs may be overkill for beginner-level guitarists

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your TOD70 in top condition, regularly check the relief of the roasted maple neck. Roasted maple is highly stable, but environmental changes may still necessitate minor truss rod adjustments. Use a dedicated 9V battery for the active pickup system, and ensure you unplug the instrument when not in use to prolong battery life. For cleaning, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth on the body and hardware. Since the frets are stainless steel, they require very little maintenance but benefit from occasional polishing if they lose their luster. Always use a gig bag or hard case that specifically accommodates the 7-string scale length and headstock profile.
