General

The close collaborative relationship between jazz legend George Benson and Ibanez has been producing incredible guitars since the '70s. As such, the signature GB10EM has all the pure tone and playability you expect at an unexpectedly attainable price. The basswood back and sides are supported by a spruce top and nyatoh neck with walnut fretboard, and it's this that shapes the beautifully balanced sound and delivers that all-important Jazz combination of warmth, brightness and rich acoustic character. Meanwhile, the Magic Touch Mini humbuckers have been specifically designed to faithfully amplify the foundation sound of the GB10EM and offer an optimally balanced, transparent and dynamic tone. Since this is an Ibanez model, it also comes with the Ibanez-grade playing comfort provided by a slightly slimmer body-size than that of standard Jazz instruments and an incredibly fast feeling GB neck that sits naturally in the palm.

Wrote the following about Ibanez George Benson GB10EM-JBB Jet Blue Burst Hollowbody

Zoekende naar een hollowbody jazz gitaar kwam ik uit op deze Ibanez. Twee dagen na de aankoop ontving ik de gitaar in goede orde netjes ingepakt in een doos met een omdoos van Bax. De gitaar zag er keurig uit. De gitaar was licht ontstemd, de intonatie was goed. Versterkt klinkt de gitaar prachtig, met veel warmte. Akoestisch klinkt de gitaar goed. De flat wound snaren spelen prettig en stil De gitaar heeft een kleine body en ligt lekker in de hand.

Met deze gitaar krijg je veel waar voor een redelijke prijs!

De aankoop via Bax verliep snel en netjes en ik ben zeer tevreden.

Bonjour, J'avais eu jusqu'ici une très bonne impression du site mais la! Décu! J'ai reçu ma commande de guitare mais avec un défaut sur le selecteur de micro qui ne marche que sur une position. La marque Ibanez avec une signature G. Benson qui l'aurait cru. Du coup je me vois embarquée dans une procédure de retour. Je suis hors de France actuellement je fais comment? Pour cette mauvaise expérience je recommande vivement de tester dès reception vos articles. Il serait temps pour Baxshop d'ouvrir un magasin sur Paris ou en France afin de régler rapidement ces cas de figure.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
