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.

I'm chuckling because there is a video on YouTube of a live performance of Keith Jarrett playing On Green Dolphin Street and he did the moaning and similar vocalizations he made when he improvised,...
I suspected as much, which is why I suggested using at least one finger to fret notes.... or you could put light strings on your guitar and make like Stanley Jordan.
Recorded a demo on the guiter. It's rough; plenty of clams for you. Through the vibrolux. Backing track is from Phil Wilkinson (playing out of a bluetooth speaker on top of the amp). Playing the...
Selling my 2013 Gibson ES-175. Classic Gibson hollowbody with a beautiful tone and feel. Great guitar for jazz, blues, and anyone looking for that vintage style Gibson sound.
Overall very good...
Until I upgraded to a good undersaddle pickup, I used a magnetic one with bronze wound strings. The key is being able to make large adjustments. In my case the pickup was Fender style, Alnico pole...
