Today I became the proud owner of a limited edition Ibanez George Benson “Super” 10 (45th anniversary) guitar. I’m currently evaluating but so far I really like it.
Apologies for the amateur (and sideways) iPhone pics - they don’t do justice to the in-person beauty of this gorgeous instrument!
Congrats! Looks to be in mint condition and is beautiful. I am always amazed how woody the sound is from this small guitar. And the brighter sound is still very pleasant, sounds unmistakably like Benson. Truly a great innovation from Ibanez and GB. Enjoy it and share some recording if you will!
Edit: Ah I see that this seems like a new model, sorry, so I suppose the guitar is new. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! I can relate. I very recently bought a JSM20th, the Scofield limited edition 20th anniversary model, at a guitar show. It's an incredible instrument. I wish I could thank the Ibanez workers in person, I really do.
You know what, im a big fan of Ibanez GB models and am owning a marvelous GB40II, but let me tell you something, they should rest it now with these models. The GB10 released in 1979 on the market and has been reshaped ever since, with great improvements and different designs. GB12, GB100, GB30, GB15, GB30 kimono, GB10 masquerade and the last big release were the beautiful two GB40 models which were brought about on the 40th anniversary of the original GB10. I think everything that could have been improved on the GB10 has already been done with all of these models. They should call it a day. I would love to see the GB20 re released.
Your GB looks amazing and will sound amazing out of the box, congrats.

Some folks are too confident in their abilities. I've found with a lot of artists/musicians I know, self doubt still exists in performers of a very high level.
The Jensen N10/100TR (Tornado) is as good as they get. I have no indication about it being discontinued. Uraltone in Helsinki has 16 in stock, I have 5, Tube Amp Doctor has them, and so does Thomann...

Thanks, nice recording. Well, what often happens is you ask someone to challenge your opinion, and they do, and then it's quite obvious from the response that they haven't budged an inch...
I was wondering why my Tone Master Twin is loud, but not "call the cops" loud (only "stern warning from the neighborhood HOA" loud). I just realized the specs for the stock Jensen N-12K speaker is...
