Ibanez LGB30 George Benson Signature – Vintage Yellow Sunburst

Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Spruce Top, Flame Maple Back and Sides, 3-pc Mahogany/Maple Neck, Bound Ebony Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Vintage Yellow Sunburst

The Ibanez LGB30 hollowbody electric guitar came about when the guitar maker and jazz/R&B legend George Benson got together to create a more affordable version of his highly popular signature model. The result was better than either of them could have anticipated, and we think you’ll agree as soon as you pick one up. You don’t even need to plug it in to experience how good the LGB30 sounds or how smooth it plays. Between its spruce-topped maple body and its smooth, bound-ebony fretboard, those bases are covered. And when you plug in the Ibanez LGB30, you won’t believe what a gem you’ve found.

Super 58 Custom humbucking pickups deliver smooth tone and rugged texture

Early hollowbody electric guitars had wonderfully expressive tone. To capture that timeless sound, Ibanez developed the Super 58 Custom pickup. This special humbucker preserves your LGB30 hollowbody guitar’s punch but ditches the 60Hz hum that came with those vintage models. Your sound will be rich and full, but with enough clarity available to make the guitar much for versatile than its looks would let on. What’s more, the Super 58 humbucker gives the LGB30 a touch of grit that’s perfect for bluesy licks.

Flamed maple, topped with spruce delivers rich sound and great looks

Flamed maple and spruce, a favorite pairing of tonewoods come together beautifully on this LGB30 hollowbody guitar. While the maple construction of the back and sides ensures your notes will ring out with great clarity, the spruce adds the warmth and nuance that is required when playing such demanding music. And of course the figured maple looks absolutely stunning. You’ll love the robust tone the LGB30 is capable of, while still retaining the singing quality you require.

Smooth-playing ebony fretboard with binding and fret-edge treatment

One thing that sets the Ibanez LGB30 apart from other hollowbodies at this price is its bound ebony fretboard, complete with Ibanez’s Artstar fret-edge treatment. The high strength and density of ebony is common on high-end instruments, and the fretboard binding adds an elegant look while also enhancing playability. The frets are rounded at the edges to complete the smooth feel. If you play it without looking at the price tag, you may think the LGB30 would cost much more than it does.
