1993 to 1996

The Ibanez GB100 was made between 1993 and 1996 as part of the Ibanez George Benson Series. It was very similar to the GB12 limited edition model: the GB100 can be considered a reissue of the GB12. The GB100 had the same small comfortable body shape as the GB10, and also utilized floating IBZ GB pickups for warmth and a thick top to prevent feedback. The body of the GB100 was 0.5" thicker than the GB10. The GB100 had fancier appointments including: a flamed maple top, inlaid tailpiece, special GB100 inlays in the fingerboard and bridge.

Great guitar!!! Fast action even with .012 flatwounds, archtop tone, nice size and more. Guitar looks like a thick Les Paul, and the tobacco sunburst is a nice look.
