2022 Ibanez MIJ GB10 Sunburst

[Skip Ellis]

Purchased from Dave's Guitar Shop in Madison, WI (great folks!). Easily 9/10 and never taken out of the house since I got it. These guitars have one the best neck profiles I've ever played. No flaws, no nicks or dings, metal parts good, and no fret wear. Everything works as it should. Comes with really good Ibanez case. Strung with 11-52 Chromes (I think) that were on it when I got it. Selling to fund a pedal steel. $2000.00 plus shipping. You won't find a better one.

How about $2000 and we split the shipping?

Great guitar, good price, good seller and a much more protective case than the OEM ones (well at least mine). My GB10 is a 1981 and it is an amazingly versatile and useful guitar. I've used it with jazz, blues, pop gigs with equal success. I don't play country but you could probably make it work for that, too. You can dial in dark/smoky/bebop or you can get bright/poppy and you can get blues tones somewhere in between. I get sidetracked with Teles, my ES+175, my carved archtop, my Strat, etc., but whenever I pull it out and use it I wonder why I have any other electric guitars (well, we all know the answer to that question, don't we?). It won't duplicate the sounds of the others but it will cover the same ground without breaking a sweat. George and Ibanez knew what the hell they were doing.

Can't believe nobody's buying GB10s these days

Too many variants tainting the water.

There are a variety of GB10 models, to be sure, but it's nowhere near as bad as Stratocasters. There must be 80 current variations being manufactured and sold by Fender, most of which are barely different from each other...

Skip's GB10 is a great guitar, I am sure. From my experience, Dave's Guitar gave it a good going over before selling it- unlike Guitar Center, every guitar I have ever played at Dave's was well set up. I have bought from and sold to Skip, he's great to do business with.

It's just that there are so many of them available, they've been making them for over 45 years now.

I have played Skip's guitar. It is an excellent example of the GB10. Anybody who gets it will be happy, I'm sure.

All ready got one - was looking for cheap - ended up with a 'Frankensteel' built by the late, great Bobbe Seymour. Combination of MCI, Rittenberry, ShoBud, Fessenden parts. Looks good, plays good, sounds good - couldn't ask for more. Fortunately, I know how to work on the things. The decal is a cut down version of Gary Rittenberry's old 'LeGarritt' brand (he also built the Nashville LTD which was a really good guitar but really heavy). Seymour was good at taking whatever parts he could find and making a playable guitar out if them. I took off the '0' pedal as I never use it. Now it's 3 pedals and 5 knees.

Never seen one of those before. I know who Bobbe Seymour is I just didn't know he put guitars together from a mish mash of parts. I know the Lace Alumitones sound great on a steel though! Congrats Skip, I hope she earns you lots of bread!

Just wish I had a gig! Absolutely no market locally for a steel player. Working on an assisted living trio where I can double on steel and lead. I have a lady friend who was in a Nashville girl group in the 80's called 'Chantilly' plus did a few albums on her own - good singer and plays bass (original Steinberger L2!), rhythm, and drums; she knows a male classic country singer so we may try to put something together - very low key.

Getting ready to tear the steel apart and re-rod it - pray for me!!!
