The GB10 tailpiece is a trapeze-style tailpiece designed for use on George Benson's flagship signature guitar, the GB10.
It was introduced in 1977 along with the GB10. It has a tulip design trapeze piece in gold with individual retainers with tortoise shell inlay for the top and bottom three strings. Each of these retainer pieces can be individually adjusted for height with a pair of thumbscrews. It is attached to the guitar with a single screw into the end of the body. The end of the tailpiece also features a strap button.
In addition to the GB10, this tailpiece is also used on several other GB models including the GB20, the GB30th and the GB10SE.
