George Benson was heavily involved in the design of his beloved GB10 hollowbody electric guitar. His input extends from the compact body dimensions to smaller details that add up to a supremely playable instrument. The guitar's tension-adjustable tailpiece tailors the instruments feel to your preferences.
Benson specified a brass nut for its rounder tone. Even the set of pearlized tuning knobs were chosen for their resistance to corrosion. Clearly the Ibanez GB10 is the result of the expertise Benson has gained from decades of playing. The fit and finish on this guitar is top notch, with stunning attention to detail. The binding around the body, fretboard, headstock, and F-holes is flawless.
The frets are smooth, polished to a mirror-like shine. And the mother-of-pearl and abalone fretboard and headstock inlays are immaculate. The quality and craftsmanship Ibanez applies to this GB10 fully merits the praise it consistently receives in its category. The Ibanez GB10 is superb for that warm jazz sound that has propelled George Benson's biggest hits.
The custom-wound GB special humbucking pickups deliver that woody sound while remaining articulate and clear. Switch to the bridge humbucker and you'll find that the GB10 is capable of a lot more than its traditional jazz voice. The distinctive construction of the guitar's hollow body also plays a major role in its voice. A thicker-than-average spruce top enhances clarity while fighting feedback, while the compact dimensions add focus to its tone.
