Ibanez GB-100 Limited George Benson (First Year)
1993 Ibanez GB-100 Limited, First Year
A rare beauty, a GB-100 from Ibanez, and from the first year of production in the Fujigen factory. The label is signed, which I believe is a live signature.

Condition / Setup Notes
The guitar is in excellent (+) shape, considering its age and rarity as a first-year model. There is very limited wear. The most prominent wear is around the bridge feet, where there is evidence of adjustment over the years, including a bit of a color difference where the bridge used to sit. The slightest beginnings of oxidation on the tail piece. The label is coming loose, but at the moment is still attached. Currently set up with light strings, 10s, string height from about 5/64”-4/64” from bass to treble. Light relief. Playing very nicely.
***
These are a bit of a rarity, with total production numbers not disclosed. The Fujigen-made models tend to have a bit of a following, and this one is particularly nice in that it is a 1993, from the first year of production. In exceptionally nice shape, and quite a nice sounding and playing guitar.
