Ibanez GB20 George Benson Signature

Japan 80,
A micro floating near the handle,
Petite 3 / 4 body without beam inside I think he
Volume and tone.

UTILIZATION

Channel Ibanez, so fine and "easy".

The sound is a wonder, that in part thanks to his age (30 years).

SOUNDS

His jazzy 100%, although soft and velvety.

The microphone is nice but not my favorite grain. Quality issue but there is nothing wrong.

The grain of the guitar is great though.
There are a lot of bass and volume in acoustics at the base. Nothing to do with the semi-boxes that do not sound without an amp.
The sound is precise, straight with a very good sustain for a 3 / 4 body (compared with the ES-175 for example).
The range of shades is great: high pianissimo guitar still sounds as well with incredible resonance.

Very typical Jazz / Smooth but she also excels in everything that requires a good rhythm sound or anything from his solo clear. (Pop, Song, Soul ...).

No distortion though.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 1 year.

I hesitate to sell it for a ES-175, which is closer to the grain that I like jazz. But given the quality of the stringed instrument of that, I do not think I'll ever get rid finally. This is a really good guitar! I do not know if we find many such on the market today, at least at this price.

For example, with a sampler, you can save several different parts on each other with the same guitar and ultimately, no mush sound: all parties agree very clearly. It's a really interesting guitar.

Choice, pity she is a rarity!
