IBANEZ GB100The 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. | |

IBANEZ GB200The Ibanez GB200 is an L-5 style archtop in the Ibanez George Benson series. This jazz guitar has an inlaid ebony bridge and tailpiece, bound top, back, fretboard, peghead, and f-holes. It has a sunburst multi-ply pickguard, distinctive pearl split-block fretboard inlays, and floral peghead inlay. Its maple back and sides, carved solid spruce top and two Super 58 humbuckers deliver a warm smooth jazz tone. The GB200 was introduced around 1999 but has since been discontinued. | |
IBANEZ GB30IBANEZ manufactured the George Benson signature model GB30 between 1985 and 1992. It was based on a semi-hollow body design with a custom-shaped neck and ebony fingerboard. With its semi-hollow body, Ibanez super 58 pickups, tune-o-matic style bridge and stop tailpiece the GB30 was less of an out-and-out jazz guitar than the GB10 model. | |
