Ibanez GB10 George Benson Hollowbody ElectricGB10
For most jazz guitars, once the volume goes up, the beautiful jazz tones go down - the tubes that is. But not with the George Benson signature series of electric guitars.Back in the mid-70's, virtuoso George Benson had a vision of the features a jazz guitar would need to survive in the world of amplification. The result was his GB10, a jazz guitar for the modern world. New generations of cutting edge jazz guitarists continue to record and perform with the GB10, unimpeachable testimony that the GB10 is still the guitar. Anytime, anywhere, any volume!
Floating pickups, a thicker top and a smaller body help to reject feedback while a special ebony bridge transfers tone from strings to the top. Furthermore, the die-cast tailpiece allows separate tension adjustment of treble and bass strings.

The best jazz guitar that I've ever played, makes playing a breeze. You can't get a better tone than this. The neck, the workmanship, even the bronze support nut that allows you to use heavyer strings is uniqe. It's ready to go any time you are.
Not much more to say other than sensational - in build quality, components, playability and most of all, sound. One of the best jazz guitars in the business - get one!
When I began playing jazz on guitar 15 years ago, I searched for the right guitar and found it, a 1981 Ibanez GB10. Of all the jazz boxes I have owned and played, only the GB10 has the sound and feel I prefer. The smaller profile upper and lower bouts and thinner body make it the easiest to play of all the others. You won't ever regret owning one for jazz.
I have owned many guitars, including a 1962 Gibson L5-CES. I have a 1978 GB10 - #549. It doesn't have as good a tone as the L5 with a carved top, but I still prefer it. The size is comfortable for an archtop, and the feel of it is wonderful. I love this guitar. If I use the right strings and amp to support it, I can play jazz, country, rock or blues on it. I still love it after 10 years.
