I would play this Ibanez, rather than...

Squonk

It's the festive season and my stocking is just waiting for this guitar...

It's the George Benson model (one of them), it's my main GAS.
I know I most probably wont sound like George, but I am willing to die trying!
Just go to see what the Wife and kids are worth, I will probably chuck in a Lapa and a Pool

I do like a nice jazz guitar

Nice looking Guitar - I've not played one yet, but recently played the Cort Yorktown - I loved it. http://www.cortguitars.com/english/products/common/view.asp?product_id=133

I see in the specs a unique feature is that on the pick-up switching, position 1 is neck, position 2 is neck and bridge and position 3 is bridge ??? ?

@ Pete The Yorktown looks good as well, considerably cheaper than the Ibanez

Maybe the wife and kids will stay around at least another year...

I dont think George uses a whammy bar, not much of that in Jazz ?
But would be a good addition

@ Guy, it's the GB200 http://www.ibanez.com/HollowBodyGuitars/Series-gb

For the Lapa and the Pool? Not if the pool is one of those "plastic-above-the-ground-R699-got-it at-the-filling-station" ones, Squonk....... ?

Better start digging...... ?

Guitar nice, but prefer Pat Metheny (as a musician) to George B.

Squonk

@ Aubs. How much for pool and lapa? ?
Or maybe a straight swop for Ibanez GB200

Guy-Onraet

Ah, the 200, very cool. most worthy of GAS ?

Maybe it is just me, but i would rather take the Godin 5th Ave Kingpin (less than $700.00) over the $2800.00 plus GB Ibanez . . .

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-GB10-George-Benson-Hollowbody-Electric?sku=519921 - imho, to expensive for an Ibby. YMMV !

. . . God only knows what that GB Ibanez will cost in SA Rands ☹

But i can bet you, it will not be 2800 X current exchange rate >☹

You know Stoner, some months back I saw that Godin in Guitarist mag and it got my juices going. I've been lurking on Take2 and Godin site ever since. In the meantime, I bought an Ibanez AG75 which I am very happy with, not the $2.8K model but looks good to me and plays good for me. But the Godin, it's gonna come. Will have to be the 2 HB model.

Ahhh another AG75 owner 8)

. . . here is mine, albeit w TV Jones.

I have major GAS for the Kingpin, but the single neck pu model, i do not like the contours of the double P90 model.

PS : do you want to replace the P90's with dual HB's ???
