The GB10SE is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2016. It is a signature model for American jazz guitarist George Benson. It is essentially a less expensive version of Benson's iconic GB10. It was initially produced in China, but production moved to Indonesia in mid-2018.
The GB10SE features a smallish, single cutaway, full hollow body design constructed of a laminated spruce top with ƒ holes and multi-layer binding on laminated maple sides and back. The set-in three-piece maple neck sports a large headstock and a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with binding and pearl/acrylic and abalone split block position markers. Components include a pair of floating Ibanez GB special humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, a height-adjustable ebony bridge, a special adjustable split trapeze tailpiece, a bone and brass nut, and a tortoise pickguard.
For 2019 the wood species for the back and sides was changed from maple to linden; it was changed back to maple the following year.
The GB10SEFM is a related model with flamed maple construction.
