Ibanez GB10EM George Benson Jet Blue Burst

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Ibanez GB10EM is designed for Jazz legend George Benson and comes in a fantastic Jet Blue Burst. George Benson has been an Ibanez artist for over 40 years and the GBEM is still host to the signature style and sound of the original GB line of guitars. This may be the most affordable George Benson signature guitar Ibanez has released, but make no mistake, this guitar is worthy of the icon's name. From the floating mini-humbucking pickups to the hollow Linden body and signature neck profile, this is a quality artist model that'll have you Breezin' through Give Me the Night in style.

Features We Love:

Body

The guitar's body is made from Linden which is from the same Tilia genus as Basswood. It's loved for its balanced tone and pronounced high end that works well with the Spruce top as part of a hollow-body construction to create a rich tone with a detailed character.

Signature Features

The long line of George Benson signature guitars have all combined traditional features with wonderful ornate stylings. The GB10EM is no exception, from the iconic GB headstock inlay and block fingerboard inlays, to the beautifully designed walnut bridge, all true to George's original design for the ideal electric hollow body guitar

Pickups

"Warm" and "precise" are two words that accurately describe Mr Benson's sound, it's one of the best clean tones of all time and has graced all of his greatest hits. The Magic Touch-Mini pickups allow you to tap into that delicious tone that's worked so well through the many genres of music George has played over.

• The perfect guitar for silky clean tones.
