He has delved into a variety of musical genres throughout his career and enjoys a reputation as one of the most versatile guitarists in history.
The artist and Ibanez have been working together for over 40 years, ever since they shared his vision for his ideal electric hollow body guitar, the GB10, in 1977. Since then, there have been many other successful collaborations
As one of the most influential guitarists, Benson now wanted to offer a signature guitar that not only matched his vision, but was also accessible to other players at any time. Retaining some of the key features of the GB line, including the floating mini-humbuckers, the compact, fully hollow Jazz guitar body and the legendary GB headstock inlay, the GB10EM has proved worthy of the name.
