Ibanez produced the GB10BS as part of the GB Signature Series, positioning it as a hollow body electric guitar within that line. The Brown Sunburst finish identifies this particular variant within the GB10 family.
Construction centres on a three-piece Maple set-in neck with a bound Ebony fretboard carrying Acrylic and Abalone block inlays across 22 medium frets, finished with Prestige fret edge treatment. The top is Spruce, with Maple back and sides. The nut is a half-Bone, half-Brass design measuring 43mm in width, and the fretboard radius runs 305mm. Scale length is 628mm (24.7"). Body width measures 14¾", with a maximum depth of 3⅜" and a body length of 18⅞". Neck thickness is 20mm at the first fret and 23mm at the twelfth. Hardware throughout is finished in gold, including the GB10 tailpiece and Ebony bridge. String spacing at the bridge is 10.4mm. Both the neck and bridge positions carry GB Special humbucker pickups wound with Alnico magnets in a passive configuration. The guitar left the factory strung with gauges .011/.015/.022w/.030/.040/.050 in standard E tuning.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly bridge saddles, tailpiece components, or nut blanks sized to the 43mm width and half-Bone/half-Brass specification — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with hollowbody instruments to ensure correct fit and setup.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
