Here we have for sale an Ibanez George Benson Signature LGB30 Hollowbody in Gloss Natural finish. Built in Indonesia in 2021, this guitar features a set-neck construction, comprising of a Spruce top, Laminated Flamed Maple back and sides, a Nyatoh/Maple neck and a 22 Medium Jumbo fret bound Ebony fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with an Gibraltar Artist bridge, LGB30 split tailpiece and a set of Ibanez sealed tuning machines. The pickups installed are a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers, these are wired to independent volume and tone controls for both pickups and a 3 way selector switch.
The Nyatoh/Maple neck plays very well, with the LGB30 profile feeling comfortable for quick and easy navigation up and down the neck, assisted by the Gloss finish that feels particularly luxurious, smooth, and firm under the thumb. The Ebony fingerboard provides a smooth yet sturdy playing surface, with the usual snappiness expected from this excellent selection of premium wood. The traditional 12" radius lends itself to those fast flowing jazz licks, and the Medium Artstar Edge Treatment frets ensure there is no discomfort or catching on the end of the frets throughout the register.
The pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups provide warm and smooth tones, whilst maintaining clarity in both neck and bridge positions. A detailed low-end is complemented well by a smooth mid-range, the trebles falling off ever so slightly to reveal a tried and true jazzbox tone. The controls provide all necessary adjustment for each pickup, allowing you to roll off tones and volumes independently for switching between lead lines and rhythm. A truly refined take on the traditional jazzbox.
