The Ibanez GB10 Hollowbody is simply one of the smoothest guitars I have ever laid my hands on. The tone is 100 percent Benson when played through a decent amp. A lot of manufacturers should take note on this guitar because every time you pick it up you can feel that you are playing a top quality instrument, and you didn't have to pay $10,000 to get it. Thank you Ibanez, Thank you Mr. Benson for such an incredible guitar!!!!Ibanez GB10 George Benson Hollowbody Electric Natural
.I bought my GB10 mail order in 1984 when I lived out of the country. It was recommended by my guitar teacher who is STILL playing his, as well. He made the recommendation based on the consistent quality of the guitar. After 25 years it still plays like a dream and inspires me.

.I'm quite disappointed with the microphonic mini pickups. When I play I pick mostly over the front pickup. Even the frets at the top are microphonic because the pickup is attached to the neck by a bracket. Tone is very good and if you learn to play between the pickups, no "pick click". I thought about ordering another GB model, but I hear the others are the same. I've lowered the pickup by removing screws and seems to be better now, but tone is a little less. Other than that little irritation, it's a great guitar.
Nice features and like the workmanship other than the pickups. Really nice pots, very smooth. The neck inlay is beautiful, tuners very nice, binding and finish are great. This is one beautiful guitar.
One of the highest quality guitars I've ever owned (have ten guitars) except for the pickups.
Custom Guitars Friend pretty much can't be beat for price, I tried. Free shipping and a huge discount? How do they do it?

.I've been playing jazz guitar for nearly 20 years and this guitar is extremely rugged despite its fragile exterior. Most importantly, it is delightful to play as the neck and action make chordal voicings easy (like Giant Steps) and again, it has a wonderfully warm tone. I've had two of GB-10s thus far and both have been of superior workmanship.

.I was searching for a great jazz guitar, which would still be comfortable for a rock guitar player. This is a great axe. It is comfortable to play, has great tone, and the playability and workmanship are superb.

.Tonal quality is superb for a Jazz set. Easy to maneuever. Perfect archtop for gigging.

.A superb instrument. I've owned one for over 8 years now. Expensive but worth it. Top quality workmanship and components. Absolutely precise. Sounds just fantastic. Try it with Thomastik GB flatwound strings.

.An amazing guitar, very comfortable and great sound.

.I Just received mine today and it was well worth the wait for the natural finish (I originally ordered it last December, 2015). I particularly like the floating pickups. It allows this semi acoustic shallow body to
project well without amplification. So, it is nice to play un-amplified for practice and for and with friends.
It is light weight. Without a strap button mounted on the neck side of the body, it needs an unconventional
strap (that would attach to the head). Pleasantly, there is an extra matching strap button included, that can be mounted for a conventional strap setup.
The body is small, so is a bit awkward to play in the lap. I also like that the neck meets the body at the 15th instead of the 14th or 18th fret. It gives the illusion that the neck is short, but it isn't.
Hopefully it will appreciate over the years.

.I bought this blonde GB10 new last July. After almost 30 years playing a vintage Gibson Johnny Smith, it has become my main playing axe. While the sound isn't quite the same 'Classic' sound as my JS, it still holds its own quite nicely with a unique jazz sound all its own. The action is easy , fast and extremely comfortable. Having been into the larger archtops for so long, I've been completely seduced by the smaller size of this guitar. It can be manhandled - all the features are well thought out, and the workmanship on these guitars is impeccable, in a day and age where we've come to expect something less. This guitar looks great, sounds great, and is easy to play. I've always loved George Benson's playing and I love this GB10.
