Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

01 — Full details

The GB10SE's spruce-topped maple body produces a mellower and more balanced woody tone, setting it apart from the typical all-maple models. It retains the essence of Benson's signature style while offering a unique tonal complexity that jazz players will adore. Equipped with GB Special humbuckers, this guitar delivers a thick top, small body, and excellent feedback rejection, ensuring that your performances are nothing short of spectacular.

The bound ebony fretboard with Artstar fret edge treatment enhances playability, offering a smooth and comfortable feel from the moment you pick it up. The half-bone/half-brass nut adds to the guitar's distinctive tonal characteristic, providing an exceptional canvas for exploring jazz nuances and expressing your musical creativity.

The 3-piece maple neck with the GB profile and set neck joint ensures optimal stability and resonance. The 12" radius of the ebony fretboard is adorned with Acrylic/Abalone Blocks inlays, exuding a touch of sophistication.

With 22 medium-sized frets and a 24.7" scale length, this guitar enables seamless playability and facilitates smooth, expressive bends. The Bone/Brass nut further enhances the sustain and resonance, adding depth to your sound.

The hardware includes an ebony bridge with GB10 tailpiece, ensuring precise intonation and solid tuning. Ibanez tuners offer reliable and accurate tuning stability for consistent performances.

Electronically, the GB10SE is equipped with a Floating GB Special alnico Humbucker in both the neck and bridge positions. The controls include 2 volume and 2 tone knobs, along with a 3-way toggle pickup switch, providing you with versatile tone-shaping options.

The Ibanez George Benson Signature GB10SE comes with D'Addario strings (.011-.050) and a hardshell case to keep your instrument safe during transport and storage.

Experience the unparalleled charm and sophistication of the Ibanez George Benson Signature GB10SE Hollowbody Electric Guitar, available exclusively at Irvine Art and Music. Whether you're a seasoned jazz guitarist or a discerning enthusiast, this guitar is poised to elevate your musical journey to new heights, while capturing the timeless essence of George Benson's incomparable style.
