Ibanez GB10EM-JBB

GB10EM-JBB (Jet Blue Burst) George Benson signature model. The Ibanez George Benson GB10 model has been on the market since 1977 and can in no way be seen as anything other than a classic on the jazz guitar market, a model that has been the benchmark for small size jazz cans since then. Here we are talking about guitars in the absolute top layer, a wet dream for anyone who has ever thought about playing jazz. GB10EM is a Benson model in the budget price class, at a fantastic price. The neck is a set-in (glued) Nyatoh GB neck, an easy-to-play, stable neck that is restful for the hand both in chord and single note playing. The neck reaches the body at 15-16 frets on the bass side and at eighteenth on the treble side. The fingerboard is bound walnut, all for an optimal combination of tone, sustain and feel, with acrylic block inlays. The neck, which is a 24.7" (628mm) scale, is banded with 22 medium type frets. The mics are Ibanez Magic Touch mini humbuckers that are floating mounted in the pickguard and neck to minimize the risk of rounding. It also means that you do not have to make holes in the top, which improves sustain, tone and resonance. The mics each have their own tone and volume and are connected to a 3-position toggle switch. The body is laminated spruce in the lid and Linden in the bottom and sides, which makes a more stable guitar that is less sensitive to humidity and more durable. Quite simply, a guitar that is built to sound perfect and be reliable night after night for life.
