Ibanez GB10EM George Benson Signature Hollow-body Guitar in Antique Amber

The Ibanez GB10EM is a signature hollow-body electric guitar created in collaboration with legendary jazz guitarist George Benson. Designed as the most accessible model in the GB line, it retains the core aesthetic and functional elements that have defined Benson's signature instruments for over four decades. This model features the compact, fully hollow jazz guitar body shape that provides the resonant, acoustic-like tone characteristic of traditional jazz boxes while remaining comfortable to play. Key features include a solid spruce top paired with linden back and sides, contributing to a balanced tonal response with good projection. The set-in GB nyatoh neck features a bound walnut fingerboard with acrylic block inlays and 22 medium frets. Electronics consist of two Magic Touch-Mini humbucking pickups in a floating configuration, offering the articulate, warm sound associated with Benson's style. Controls include individual volume and tone knobs for each pickup plus a three-way selector switch, providing versatile tonal shaping. The walnut bridge and VT14 tailpiece with a dedicated GB10EM wood cover complete the vintage-inspired hardware setup. This guitar is ideally suited for jazz enthusiasts and players seeking an authentic hollow-body experience at an approachable price point. Its comfortable dimensions (14.5-inch lower bout width) and medium 24.75-inch scale length make it suitable for both seated and standing performance. The combination of traditional hollow-body construction with modern playability features makes it a practical choice for home practice, studio recording, and live performance across jazz, blues, and related genres.
