The Ibanez George Benson Signature Series LGB30 is a single-cutaway, hollow-body electric guitar made with a spruce top and flamed maple back and sides. The instrument sports an LGB 3-piece nyatoh/maple set-in neck. The LGB30's bound ebony fingerboard offers 20 medium frets with Artstar fret edge treatment, which provides tight response and smooth left-hand fingering. Abalone and acrylic block inlays indicate where you are on the fingerboard. The body itself is both stylish and sonorous. Styled in a natural finish, it's capable of delivering tones well suited for playing jazz and blues.
An ART-1 bridge, an LGB30 tailpiece, and a bone nut, anchor the instrument with traditional hollow-body richness, while Super 58 humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge offer a variety of warm, balanced, and articulate tones. You'll note separate volume and tone controls for each pickup, as well as a 3-way selector switch for choosing/blending between the two. The LGB30 includes a hardshell case.
