- I may just be a blues player, but I find jazz guitars hard to resist, and they tend to inspire me to play a little outside the box. This week I take an Ibanez GB10SE for a ride. This is a an interesting and fun guitar, and I talk about it's build quality and features, and give my impressions. Also, of course I demo the sounds, both with and without a backing track.

Nice of you to do a feature on the GB10
BLESSINGS 🙏🏽
Thank you much.
The GB10 design is just an ABSOLUTELY WONDROUS DESIGN
THE WORLD IS FORTUNATE THAT GEORGE BENSON was also a Commercial Artist way before he became famous (a practical trade skill he learned during his high school days …. Etc … )
MAN …. The GB10 design … in the world of guitars … is just an ABSOLUTE JOY to play
Know one could even pay me to shut up about it …. (I dint get paid for this … I just like to share with humanity whatever I like for myself …. it’s just a GOLDEN RULE type thing )
Man … IBANEZ ….. YAMAHA …. TOYOTA ….. and whatever else … personally I just have found that JAPANESE craftsmanship just seem to be so CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT
Even and entry level Yamaha as well is an excellent item …
Getting back to IBANEZ GB10
I just LOVE that models design
AMEN 🙏🏽
I agree it’s a beautiful design. 👍🏼
NICE 👍🏽 Bluesy Playing
Thanks so much.
Great review...and LOVE the t shirt!
Thanks so much. Appreciated.
Enjoyed your review-thanks
Well I’m very glad you found it enjoyable. Thanks for watching.
Very nice sounding guitar. And as usual very nice playing and video.
Thanks so much, and thanks for watching the channel.
Nice playing and guitar
Thanks so much. Thanks for watching.
Nice video Leonard, I would like to hear it with flatwound strings. Hope you will do that one day. I picked up a D'Addario Excel SS Tour yesterday for and amazing €307. This also plays and sounds wonderful! Bargain of the year 😀
That’s great. Always feels good to score a real bargain.
Thanks so much for voting for the followup.
I own this guitar and it is great. Nice demo.
Thank you my friend. Nice to hear from an owner.
Ohh La La, very Jazzy. You sly dog. Great sounding box!! Beautiful notes!
Ready for your next post!
Yeah. If only I could actually play jazz. LOL
Tone and phrasing are fantastic!
Thank you my friend.
Sweet, I want one! Really does sound great!
They did a nice job with this one. Thanks for checking it out.
May I ask what amp etc you are using?
@@Shakedoctorsblues It’s my Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb, blond spec with the Celestion Neo Creamback.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for creating them. I would like to see this guitar with the flatwounds.
Thanks so much. I’m certainly considering the followup.
I love the look and concept of these guitars. Like you I have longed for a GB 10 because of Bensons style and sound. I also crave the smaller body and LP styling of the GB. If I could find one in a shop to play I would probably own it. Thanks for your thoughts.
And thank you for watching. It is a cool guitar and the quality is very nice. I hope you get a chance to try one.
Thanks for the great review. I've had my eye on a GB for a long time and have one on the way. I usually try, if my funds allow, to buy the top of the line model for the sake of investment if nothing else. But going over the reviews and specs for GB10 and GB10se it seemed, as you pointed out, that they were almost identical except for their county of manufacture. Maybe this is just a little strange marketing blip for Ibanez and they'll eventually phase out the more expensive model, but it's just really odd that there should such a price-point difference. Thanks again for the review!
What it comes down to is it’s simply more expensive to build guitars in Japan. I imagine if you had both and compared them directly there’d be a difference, but I don’t know how much the difference would actually matter. I suspect not much if at all.
Best of luck and thanks so much for watching.
one major difference is body width. the Indonesianversion is 0.5" narrower.
Is it? I don’t know how much actual difference that would make but thanks for pointing it out.
MAN ….. I’M SO THANKFUL PHIL UPCHURCH (George Benson’s early rhythm guitarist ) turned GEORGE BENSON on to IBANEZ guitar company
If was so fitting .
I still cold not understand by GIBSON never had a GEORGE BENSON Signsture model guitar … after he came out with BREEZIN’
Before we knew about Ibanez … every George Benson fan wanted to get a Gibson Hollow body Jazz guitar
It’s was so fortunate for both IBANEZ & GEORGE BENSON …… ( and even the whole entire world , in my esteem 🙏🏽) that GEORGE BENSON became the very first signature artist IBANEZ had
GOERGE BENSON has just been THE GREATEST at what he was able &/or allowed to accomplish
The GREATEST… like MUHAMMAD ALI …. (In my esteem )
Yeah, it’s a great story. Thanks for watching.
You play jazzy bluesy beautifully. You listen to some Kenny Burrell?
Nice to hear from you Joe.
You bet. Kenny Burrell is a favorite, and Grant Green is another one.
Thanks so much for the kind words.
what kit are you using
It’s straight into a blond spec Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb. Thanks for watching.
