Description
Ibanez GB10SE George Benson Guitar Brown Sunburst B-Stock
The GB10SE is a semi-hollow archtop that sits comfortably against the body with a 3 5/8" depth and lightweight 6 lbs 9 oz frame, making it approachable for extended playing sessions. Built to capture the warmth and articulation George Benson demands, this instrument delivers the classic jazz-box response with modern construction standards and hardware refinement for reliable gigging and studio work.
Playability & Feel
The GB 3-piece maple set-in neck with a 24.7" scale length and bound ebony fretboard provides a smooth, responsive playing surface across all 22 medium frets treated with Artstar edge work. The 1.693" nut width offers comfortable spacing for clean articulation and single-note definition, while the half-bone/half-brass nut contributes to sustain and tonal clarity that cuts through in live settings.
Tone & Stage Performance
Two GB Special mini-humbuckers mounted to the pickguard deliver the signature warm, punchy response essential to George Benson's playing style, with controlled output ideal for jazz and blues contexts. The spruce top with maple back and sides paired with the ebony bridge and GB10 tailpiece creates a resonant, well-defined acoustic foundation that translates directly through the pickups with articulation and sustain you can rely on night after night.
