This is guitar is a gently used Ibanez GB10 made in Japan. It plays and sounds like a dream. There is light play wear on the pickguard and some light tarnishing on the metal parts. Overall it is in very good condition. The only issue at all is a small crack in the lacquer on the lower neck joint as pictured. In all honesty, it is much more prominent in the photo as you cannot see it easily with the naked eye. I just don't want the buyer to have any surprises. I have had the guitar thoroughly evaluated by a professional guitar tech and he assures me that it is completely cosmetic and common. From Ibanez:Pure Jazz ToneGeorge Benson's guitar of choice for decades has been his signature Ibanez GB10 hollowbody electric. Every inch of the GB10 proudly exudes Ibanez's pride in their craftsmanship and attention to detail. A thick spruce top caps the compact maple body for a sound that is both clear and round. That sound is translated through a custom set of GB humbucking pickups. And the guitar is outfitted from headstock to strap pin with beautiful adornments such as mother-of-pearl and abalone inlay and multi-ply binding.Ibanez GB10 George Benson Signature Hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:Designed to Benson's exacting specsFlawless Ibanez craftsmanshipWarm, round jazz tonesDesigned to Benson's exacting specsGeorge Benson was heavily involved in the design of his beloved GB10 hollowbody electric guitar. His input extends from the compact body dimensions to smaller details that add up to a supremely playable instrument. The guitar's tension-adjustable tailpiece tailors the instruments feel to your preferences. Benson specified a brass nut for its rounder tone. Even the set of pearlized tuning knobs were chosen for their resistance to corrosion. Clearly the Ibanez GB10 is the result of the expertise Benson has gained from decades of playing.Flawless Ibanez craftsmanshipThe fit and finish on this guitar is top notch, with stunning attention to detail. The binding around the body, fretboard, headstock, and F-holes is flawless. The frets are smooth, polished to a mirror-like shine. And the mother-of-pearl and abalone fretboard and headstock inlays are immaculate. The quality and craftsmanship Ibanez applies to this GB10 fully merits the praise it consistently receives in its category.Warm, round jazz tonesThe Ibanez GB10 is superb for that warm jazz sound that has propelled George Benson's biggest hits. The custom-wound GB special humbucking pickups deliver that woody sound while remaining articulate and clear. Switch to the bridge humbucker and you'll find that the GB10 is capable of a lot more than its traditional jazz voice. The distinctive construction of the guitar's hollow body also plays a major role in its voice. A thicker-than-average spruce top enhances clarity while fighting feedback, while the compact dimensions add focus to its tone.Ibanez GB10 George Benson Signature Hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:George Benson signature jazz guitarFloating custom-wound GB mini humbucking pickupsThicker spruce top and a smaller body rejects feedbackDie-cast bridge allows separate tension adjustment of treble and bass stringsGB Prestige Set-In neckBeautiful binding and inlay adornmentsThe Ibanez GB10 is a beautiful jazz box designed by George Benson.I only sell and ship to the United States - no exceptions
