For nearly six decades, George Benson has set the standard for artistry and versatility, earning his place among the most influential guitarists of all time. His long-standing collaboration with Ibanez began in 1977 with the legendary GB10, and together they’ve created some of the most iconic signature models in jazz guitar history. The new GB10EM brings this legacy to more players than ever, offering the hallmark features of the GB line — floating mini-humbuckers, a compact fully hollow body, and the classic GB headstock — in the most accessible model yet. Designed to deliver professional performance at an approachable price, the GB10EM is a true George Benson signature in every sense.
