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.

Thanks for the detailed response. It's a good sign that you haven't run out of processing power yet!

Oh no, I still use that for my live concerts. I will also use it for live in a proff recording studio.
I actually have one more if it should fail, which it haven´t done since I bought it in 2007.
Great post! And don't forget the recording mediums used back then as well... for example, anyone chasing Charlie Christian's tone has never REALLY heard what it sounded like coming out of the amp,...
For sure it has to be aligned, but my concern was that I couldn't grasp such a mistake. So I got scared that realligning would cause more damage.
But now i'm convinced that there's no reason not to....
In order to get the strings properly on aligned on theneck, the tailpiece has to be reallocated. One might wonder why the previous owner never corrected that? May be it was only used for decoration...
