    Jeez.. some very disrespectful comments here. Why are some trashing this guy as being a salesman? The guitar is one of his signature models that bears his name, of course he’s going to promote it..the man is a Jazz guitarist legend and an incredible talent. Show a little respect..

    My Brother bought one of these the other day. I got to play it and I found it be a beautifully crafted guitar. Set up to perfection right out the box. And with the flat wound strings it was a dream to play. I have loads of guitars but this one blew my mind and I'm deeply jealous :) Well recommended!

  • @guylainecollett7943

    I've been playing this LGB 30 guitar for a few days now, I love it, I play the bridge pickup through a Fender Mustang amp with a little bit of eco-delay, and playing the Scotty Moore style on it, and it sounds exactly like the old Gibson Super 400 that Scotty and Elvis played on the 68 come back special, this LGB 30 is surely a keeper guitar, and those who purchase one will not be disapointed in it, it's a great guitar.

    I gotta tell I had a gibson les paul and I sold it back to the store . Had it for one year purchased a ibanez AG95 and man every guitar from that time on has been ibanez . Own five ibanez guitars just received my new ibanez AF155 AA artstar hollobody yesterday . And man all of my guitars or hollobody guitars but the super 58 pick ups on this thing sounds clear & bright arch top spruce top .Just on of the best jazz boxes I have played yet.

    • @TheStrataminor
      @TheStrataminor Před 7 lety +4

      I agree,,,I have never had a problem with Ibanez...even their lower range still have a better image and feel than say Epiphones do!

  • @bc9273
    @bc9273 Před 5 lety +2

    Just purchased this model. It was $1099 at Sweetwater and well worth it. Affordable and sounds/feels great. What I was playing in their guitar room just wasn't igniting anything in me and I talked to the Sweetwater rep and he mentioned this guitar sounded like it would fit my needs. I agreed, so they brought it up from the warehouse. He was absolutely right. I actually saved money because I probably would have purchased a higher priced guitar, but this was more guitar than the other brands I was playing. Bravo Ibanez, you made a fan out of me. Quality work.

    There is a music shop right next to where I work, after seeing George demo this guitar I asked them to get one in. $1600 but after playing it for 2 minutes I handed over my credit card. I have 14 guitars now this is my favorite and was way cheaper than my last two a Taylor and a Takamine. George could sell me pretty much anything :) Only other Ibanez I had was an as 120 but gave it away when I moved over seas. Need to start looking at these Ibanez guitars now..

    George can play any guitar and sound great. Ibanez makes a great product. So the match is made. I would love to hear him play on my custom made guitar. Solid maple carved top, hondourous mahogany hollow body. Ebony fret board. What a sound.

    @guylainecollett7943 Před 5 lety

    G.B. you told the truth, this guitar plays and sounds great, however, for myself, if it had the neck design of the Ibanez AM73B slim taper which I prefer, the bridge pickup on this guitar sounds so good, it captures the sound of the old super 400 gibson, and you hit the mark with this guitar, it's well worth the price and then some.

    Hmmm some of the comment here are unnecessarily disrespectful to Mr Benson. It's not about who he is and his massive contribution to guitar technique, but as a human being. So back to topic i the Pat Matheny signature model was generally value for money but these instruments really benefit from a professional setup.

    ペグ、コンデンサ、ポット、配線材のみぼちぼち変えようと思っています。ピックアップですが、僕の個体はsuper 58custom ではなく、super 58でした。どう違うのか解らないですけどね。
