Well Played Gear's Point of View If you’re a Jazz guitarist, then you already know about this axe.  If you’re thinking about chasing the sound of Jazz, then you need to know about it. It’s simply Pure Jazz tone…  This magical hollow body features a spruce top, maple back and sides, and a 3-piece maple neck. It’s equipped with George Benson Special IBZ humbucker pickups, ebony fretboard and bridge, medium frets with pearl abalone inlays and gold hardware. George Benson is a true Jazz player and his guitar of choice has been the Ibanez GB10BS. This is the piece to play if you want jazz tone at any volume.  The Ibanez GB10BS – some details to know  Let’s start with the basics: the Ibanez GB10BS has 22 medium frets, spruce top, maple back and sides, 3-way pickup selector, two tone controls, two volume controls, and two special George Benson floating humbucker pickups.   The body is a smaller sized, single cutaway design that is more comfortable to play, while offering the thick Jazz tones you would expect from a larger body. The thicker spruce top, in conjunction with the smaller body, serves to reject feedback. The back and sides of the Ibanez GB10BS are maple with a brown sunburst finish. Unique features of the Ibanez GB10BS are its special ebony bridge, which comfortably transfers tone from the strings to the top, and a die-cast tailpiece that allows the separate tension adjustment of treble and bass strings.   Other features include floating pickups, ebony fretboard, strap button mounted on base of tailpiece, and a strap button for the neck, which is unmounted but included in the case. The features of the Ibanez GB10BS are well thought-out, from the tension adjustable tailpiece, the bridge humbucker height adjuster, brass nut, pearlized tuning knobs that won't corrode, to the rubberized ring around the volume and tone knobs for better control. Clearly the Ibanez GB10BS is the result of George Benson's input from years of playing.  Well Played Gear BELIEVES – this Ibanez GB10BS is in very good condition. It has been in the hands of a player. Its playability and tone are magnificent. The hardware shows some blemishes and tarnishing, but other than that it’s an amazing instrument. This guitar has been completely set up and Pleked by our team and is ready to rock and roll. Includes original hard shell case.
