Ibanez LGB30-NT

How no to fall in love with the Ibanez LGB30-NT George Benson? Straight from the box played well and I have not set up the guitar yet. Not just beautifully made and designed although is a copy of Gibson' s ES-175 but also it plays well and after a while I feel is a very versatile guitar. I like playing many styles: jazz, blues, folk, open tuning, hard rock, etc

I love the Floating Bridge & Trapeze Tailpiece , in my opinion the best option for a jazz guitar, the tune o matic bridge is always a risk when using heavy gauge strings, the tail piece or cylinder will move forward with heavy tension strings so think about before making a choice. The bridge choice was my n1 one priority as I had a bad experience with another Ibanez with a tune o matic bridge.

The C/V shape neck feels comfortable for the hand. Fretboard inlays not distracting or confusing when moving around the neck and the pickups in my modest opinion have a great sound using an acoustic amp.
One pickup came dented so quality control should have spot it. You can't sell a new guitar with a dented pickup.

The guitar is made in Indonesia which it gives me a great mental relief since I am not happy with the Made in China products for obvious reasons that I will omit.

This was my best Christmas present ever and it came in time a few days before Christmas. Great shipping service.

I want to thank Thomann sales team for all the help and support, great communication, patient and a good human attitude to listen and resolve technical problems ,a very honest and generous company who is always on the side of its clients . Thank you

Für knapp 1.100 Euro samt Koffer bekommt man hier wirklich eine sehr schöne und gute Gitarre. Sie liegt gut in der Hand und der Sound auch ohne Verstärker, wie man es sich vorstellt.

Verarbeitung schön, bis auf ein paar Fehlerstellen, nicht gravierend, kann man drüber weg sehen.

Einstellung auch o.k. Koffer und Kleinteile genauso i.o.

Alles in Allem eine Top-Gitarre.

Bin sehr zufrieden.
