GB10-A Solid Performer

Posted by Bertski from Cape Cod, MA on May 8, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Active Musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Jazz, original

I bought my GB10 mail order in 1984 when I lived out of the country. It was recommended by my guitar teacher who is STILL playing his, as well. He made the recommendation based on the consistent quality of the guitar. After 25 years it still plays like a dream and inspires me.

Best Guitar Ever Made

Posted by Scott38115 from Memphis TN on Sep 9, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Semi-Pro, Sessions

Reviewer's Play Style: Modern Jazz, Rock

The GB-10 is undoubtedly the best guitar ever produced. Believe me, I've played them all. It feels like clay in your hands waiting to be molded! Sounds its very best going through a Twin or Polytone. Only use D'Addario Chrome 12's for maximum tone. These are the shipping strings Ibanez uses. The tone has a warm "bounce" instead of a "thud." There is NO other guitar like it. Believe me! This is the main axe of Norman Brown and Tim Bowman. Hit distortion and sound like the Nuge! Infinite sustain.

Great Jazzbox for gigging

Posted by JeffFeldstein from New Fairfield, CT on May 9, 2006

I bought this blonde GB10 new last July. After almost 30 years playing a vintage Gibson Johnny Smith, it has become my main playing axe. While the sound isn't quite the same 'Classic' sound as my JS, it still holds its own quite nicely with a unique jazz sound all its own. The action is easy , fast and extremely comfortable. Having been into the larger archtops for so long, I've been completely seduced by the smaller size of this guitar. It can be manhandled - all the features are well thought out, and the workmanship on these guitars is impeccable, in a day and age where we've come to expect something less. This guitar looks great, sounds great, and is easy to play. I've always loved George Benson's playing and I love this GB10.

A Must

I was searching for a great jazz guitar, which would still be comfortable for a rock guitar player. This is a great axe. It is comfortable to play, has great tone, and the playability and workmanship are superb.
