Ibanez GB10SE-BS Brown Sunburst George Benson Signature
Great guitar at good price point. Guitar was shipped with good double box protection. Although made in china, comes with stable and smooth guitar case. After opening it a great looking guitar is staring at you. It comes with standard nickel bronze strings, for more mellow tone I would recommend the ECG23 chromes. Sound is well balanced and unbelievable unplucked as well as plucked. The neck is right for easy playing, and well tuned. You may watch out when changing strings as with the special tailpiece could be a bit of fizzling. However, highly recommended.

First class guitar at an affordable price fantastic tone for those jazz tones , if any negative a little heavy on treble side but you don’t buy this guitar for bridge pickup , sounds great accoustic, finish, first class , great ebony fretboard with well shaped frets only negative on frets could do with a bit more polishing a little gritty no hardship to do this though, great fitting case keeps guitar well protected. All round one very happy guitarist. Would recommend this guitar

Beautiful looking instrument, solid construction, with a solid case too, it shipped very quickly and in well packed box. The sound is good too if a bit bright for some jazz soundings but it plays very nicely. Its a perfect instrument for the jazz beginner at the price.
