It's a new George Benson Ibanez import. MSRP of $1099.99.

Gold hardware (don't like-doesn't hold up as a daily player), 16 1/2" bout and a thickness between a 335 and a 175. That helps reduce feedback.

Has that George Benson "bite". I'm playing it through a Hendrickson jazz amp tonite, and will use it through a 75 Bassman head and a custom 2 x 12" cabinet (with Black Widows) tomorrow.

George Benson is currently touring with this axe, played through a George Benson Fender Hot Rod, a modified regular Hot Rod-40 watts, real wood frame and a 100 watt 12".

Also got a tiny (2 lb) Orange tiny terror head for a recording project. It's a little monster.

These are my latest "toys".

It is a great guitar. That is what my good friend and old band mate is using now for his smooth jazz tracks and it sounds great.
