With the Ibanez George Benson GB10SEFM-SRR Sapphire Red, Ibanez introduces a particularly refined take on the iconic GB10 Signature jazz guitar. This elegant hollowbody model, finished in a striking Sapphire Red with flamed maple laminate, blends timeless looks with outstanding tone and playability. The slim-profile set maple neck offers exceptional comfort, while a pair of floating GB Special Mini Humbuckers delivers warm, expressive jazz tones with sparkling highs and rich depth. Completing the package are signature GB10 hardware elements, including the distinctive tailpiece, ebony bridge, and tuning-stable die-cast tuners, all tailored to George Benson’s exacting standards.

Crafted with traditional hollowbody construction, the GB10SEFM features a laminated flamed maple top, back, and sides, delivering a lively and resonant tone perfect for both classic and modern jazz. The laminated body construction offers controlled resonance and feedback resistance while retaining an organic, woody character. The three-piece maple neck features a slim, fast-playing profile and joins the body at the 15th fret, allowing smooth access to upper frets via a generously sized cutaway. The ebony fingerboard adds articulation and clarity, making this guitar as comfortable as it is responsive.

Two Ibanez GB Special Mini Humbuckers, mounted to float above the body, allow the top to resonate freely while capturing the guitar’s nuanced tone. These Alnico-magnet pickups are specially voiced to deliver the warm, rounded lows, articulate midrange, and clear, open highs that define a great jazz sound. Whether you're comping behind a band or stepping out for a melodic solo, the GB Specials respond dynamically to your touch. A traditional control layout – with a 3-way selector switch, plus individual volume and tone controls for each pickup – offers wide tonal flexibility, letting you dial in everything from mellow rhythm warmth to bright, cutting lead tones.

The GB10SEFM-SRR is equipped with meticulously chosen hardware to meet the demands of serious players. The iconic GB10 tailpiece not only adds a visual signature but also allows separate tension adjustment for treble and bass strings, ensuring balanced feel and tuning stability. From the tailpiece, the strings pass over a height-adjustable ebony bridge, and then a finely crafted brass-and-bone nut, enhancing sustain and tonal clarity. At the headstock, sealed die-cast tuners provide reliable tuning accuracy, completing a setup that’s as stage-ready as it is refined.
