For over 40 years, George Benson and Ibanez have collaborated seamlessly, beginning with the creation of George’s ideal electric hollow body guitar, the GB10, in 1977. This partnership has since produced numerous successful signature guitars. Now, Ibanez proudly introduces the GB10EM, the most affordable GB model ever, designed to be accessible to all players.
As one of the most influential guitarists in history, George Benson aimed to offer a signature guitar that not only delivers exceptional performance but is also attainable for musicians everywhere. The GB10EM retains key features of the GB line, including floating mini-humbucking pickups, a compact fully hollow jazz guitar body, and the iconic GB headstock inlay.
The GB10EM lives up to the “GB” name, as approved by George Benson himself. Combining signature appointments with affordability, this model continues the legacy of excellence that has defined the Benson-Ibanez partnership for decades.
