Product Description
The Ibanez LGB30-VYS Little George Benson Signature is a compact hollow-body jazz guitar that brings the smooth, singing tone of a legend into a more manageable, gig-friendly package. With a spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, Super 58 humbuckers and premium gold hardware, it is built to deliver warm, articulate jazz tones, silky playability and classic stage presence in its Vintage Yellow Sunburst finish.
Designed in collaboration with George Benson, the LGB30 takes the essence of a full-size jazz box and refines it into a slightly smaller body that is easier to handle without sacrificing resonance. A 3-piece Nyatoh and Maple neck with an ebony fretboard offers a fast, comfortable feel, while the Gibraltar Artist bridge and LGB30 tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. Whether you are comping smooth chords, playing lyrical melodies or pushing into blues and fusion, this guitar is ready to respond with clarity and class.
Visually, the LGB30 is every bit the classic jazz instrument, with its gloss Vintage Yellow Sunburst finish, flamed maple figuring and elegant acrylic and abalone block inlays. Under the hood, the tried-and-tested Super 58 humbuckers deliver the rich, nuanced voice that has made them a favourite among jazz and soul players for decades. This is a professional-level hollow-body that feels instantly familiar yet refreshingly compact, ideal for serious players who want George Benson-inspired tone and feel.
Compact George Benson Signature Design
The LGB30 features a compact hollow-body design developed with George Benson, offering the depth and warmth of a traditional jazz box in a slightly smaller, more comfortable format. This makes it easier to handle on stage and in the studio, particularly for long sets, while still providing the airy resonance and acoustic character that hollow-body players love.
Spruce Top with Flamed Maple Back and Sides
A spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides gives the LGB30 a balanced, articulate voice with plenty of definition. Spruce adds clarity and responsiveness, helping your chords and single-note lines speak clearly, while the maple body enhances brightness and projection. The flamed figuring also adds a touch of visual luxury that looks stunning under stage lights.
3-piece Nyatoh and Maple Neck with Ebony Fretboard
The 3-piece Nyatoh and Maple neck is designed for stability and a comfortable, confident feel. Topped with an ebony fretboard and acrylic and abalone block inlays, it offers a smooth, fast playing surface that is ideal for fluid jazz runs and precise chord work. The 628 mm scale and 20-fret layout keep everything within easy reach, encouraging expressive, effortless playing.
Super 58 Humbuckers and Gibraltar Artist Hardware
A pair of Super 58 humbuckers provides the LGB30 with warm, musical output that excels at jazz, blues and soul. These pickups are known for their clarity and dynamic response, allowing you to move from mellow, rolled-off tones to more open, singing leads simply by adjusting your touch and controls. The Gibraltar Artist bridge and LGB30 tailpiece add sustain and tuning stability, while the gold hardware completes the premium look.
