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'd rather hear it from the people who invented it myself. Van Morrison has a vocal feeling that delivers in a big way though so your statement has merit.
Yes, I've used my TC Electronic Spark Boost and other boost type pedals thru my FRFR Power speaker, but it might need a Reverb pedal too.
The TC Spark Boost has the Baxandall tone stack like the...

That's interesting. I guess it's not really news, but it's possible to get a good guitar tone from a powered speaker if you put a box in front of it like the Formula 51 or the Joyo American, which...
I don't understand this. The return of Rush with a new drummer is a very big deal to a lot of people, so it's hardly a surprise that he would dedicate an episode to them. Beato's channel covers a...
The one that caught my attention is the Colour Box. It does everything this preamp box does, but can add varying amounts of

+ 1 on the Godin 5th Ave Kingpin recommendation. I had the full-depth single P90 version. It has a good/loud unplugged sound for an electric guitar (borderline usable as an acoustic guitar), and...
I'm pretty well 100% certain that he didn't do penta modes in the sense you're using the term in this thread, as modes of the standard pentatonic scale. He certainly did pentatonics and recommended...
