George is a national treasure. Thank you for your brilliance Mr. Benson.

Jeez.. some very disrespectful comments here. Why are some trashing this guy as being a salesman? The guitar is one of his signature models that bears his name, of course he’s going to promote it..the man is a Jazz guitarist legend and an incredible talent. Show a little respect..

High quality at affordable price and george benson actually plays gigs with it. Great guitar and presentation by the Master.

This man is really good with his voice and playing that awesome guitar.🎸 It was a pleasure seeing the great George Benson in concert many times. One of the all-time best.

You gotta love George Benson man. Such a legend

My Brother bought one of these the other day. I got to play it and I found it be a beautifully crafted guitar. Set up to perfection right out the box. And with the flat wound strings it was a dream to play. I have loads of guitars but this one blew my mind and I'm deeply jealous :) Well recommended!

Outstanding musician, just look at his Grammy awards !
Love you George !

Damn even if you're not interested in the guitar Mr. Benson is just so pleasant to listen, both his talking and his playing. The man is really charismatic

I've been playing this LGB 30 guitar for a few days now, I love it, I play the bridge pickup through a Fender Mustang amp with a little bit of eco-delay, and playing the Scotty Moore style on it, and it sounds exactly like the old Gibson Super 400 that Scotty and Elvis played on the 68 come back special, this LGB 30 is surely a keeper guitar, and those who purchase one will not be disapointed in it, it's a great guitar.

Just purchased this model. It was $1099 at Sweetwater and well worth it. Affordable and sounds/feels great. What I was playing in their guitar room just wasn't igniting anything in me and I talked to the Sweetwater rep and he mentioned this guitar sounded like it would fit my needs. I agreed, so they brought it up from the warehouse. He was absolutely right. I actually saved money because I probably would have purchased a higher priced guitar, but this was more guitar than the other brands I was playing. Bravo Ibanez, you made a fan out of me. Quality work.

"Flashback!" I remember during some of my college days in Pittsburgh seeing George Benson, Phyllis Hyman and others perform. My good old days! Racing home to my art studio in Shadyside, grabbing my LP's and listening all over again. "ONE OF MY GREAT WINDOWS OF MY LIFE!"

A work of Art, looks great and sounds great, those fret ends.... beautiful.

I gotta tell I had a gibson les paul and I sold it back to the store . Had it for one year purchased a ibanez AG95 and man every guitar from that time on has been ibanez . Own five ibanez guitars just received my new ibanez AF155 AA artstar hollobody yesterday . And man all of my guitars or hollobody guitars but the super 58 pick ups on this thing sounds clear & bright arch top spruce top .Just on of the best jazz boxes I have played yet.

George has been with Ibanez longer than anyone! That's a great relationship.

[tallisrocktube]

I agree with George..Build quality on the Ibanez guitars are amazing..could not leave the music store with out the AF105F I was trying..quarter cut maple finish is stunning..great Jazz guitar.

[waxeye]

Thanks, George lovely hearing you chat and play!

[toborexperiment]

He's not only a legend, and an incredible human being. But the LGB30 is an amazing guitar. The neck, frets, finish, electronics are top

[UncleDansVintageVinyl]

Just picked up one of these in natural last night (used). Beautiful, easy-playing, great-sounding guitar.

[soulvaccination]

Everything I reach for seems to be waiting for me..That sold it to me right there..George is the greatest jazz guitarist of all times and people have real respect for this genius.... Thanks George for years of absolutely beautiful flavors.
