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 don't think that a speaker that has a huge peak between 2 and 3 kHz at almost 110 dB (far above average, not forgetting that 3 db differences means twice the volume) is the ultimate solution for...
Yes, absolutely. Nothing worse than a 40W tube amp at volume level 1. Lifeless, anemic tone, better off plug in direct then.

At last some quality guitar stuff is cheaper here in EU. Thomann sells GB’s for 33€ and .013 Swings for 18,95€.
(I don’t buy things from Thomann, rather locally. But I know that my 2 sets of .013...
The Fender tube amps were designed to be clean (their rated power in watts was determined at 5% distortion, which is very clean for music instrument amps) but they generally do sound best when...
It depends on what sound you want. Some people like that "just on the edge of break up" sound where there's a little hair on the notes that you pick harder but the notes that are picked softer remain...
