Description

Ibanez produced the GB10EMJBB as part of the GB Signature Series, positioning it as a hollow body electric guitar within that line. The model was finished in Jet Blue Burst. The GB designation anchors it firmly in Ibanez's dedicated hollow body signature range.

The guitar was built around a spruce top with linden back and sides, joined to a Nyatoh neck via a set-in joint. The bound walnut fretboard carries acrylic block inlays and 22 medium frets across a 628mm (24.7") scale length with a 305mm radius. Nut width measures 43mm. The neck profile runs 20mm thick at the first fret and 22mm at the ninth. Body width is 14½" and maximum body depth is 3⅜". A walnut bridge and VT14 tailpiece with GB10EM wood cover handle string anchoring, with 10.4mm string spacing. Two passive, Alnico-loaded Magic Touch-Mini humbuckers — one at the neck, one at the bridge — provide the pickup complement. Hardware throughout is finished in chrome. The guitar left the factory strung with .011–.050 gauged strings in standard E tuning.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the walnut bridge, VT14 tailpiece, or Magic Touch-Mini pickups — or requiring setup work should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with hollow body instruments.

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.

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.
