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.

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...

Thanks for that AK

This is an incredible, insane and on-fi-ya repeated benson lick over an E7, Em7, Emaj7, etc. Repeat it to build up tension. Don't be...
The best advice I can offer is to try them all out and get the one that sounds best to you.
If that's not possible, then I will just expose my prejudices, which have nothing to do with your...
People generally like tube overdrive better than solid state overdrive. But that opinion is based on 1970’s solid state, I think things have improved since then. YMMV
Hey. During my research ive read many places that tube amps sounds better when they are pushed. And not as good at lower volumes. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a myth? Kind of like how F1...
