cLate 1960s	Epiphone "Howard Roberts" Model GuitarA near Perfect condition example, and has all the nicest features...neck is a little wider than most, with a "flattish" "C" shape...just delightful to play...the carved spruce top has a LOT of "silk" (crossgrain) An exceptionall nice spruce top...Ice Tea sunburst top / Walnut colored back and sides...this one has the heavier duty "Ribbed back" Kluson Tuners...about the only mark on it is where a strap slightly marred the finish, on the back of the neck, behind the nut (see detail close up Photo) actually, very easy to touch up, and go away.. A very rare guitar, and still way undervalued, for being a 1960'd Carved top Gibson made guitar...this one even has the correct orig. hard case...Epiphone's "Gray" tolex, with blue lining inside...just wonderful..I've only ever seen one of these cases a few times, and are stupid rare...the whole package is about as good as it gets.

c1979	Ibanez GB-10 "George Benson" model Very early issue, with George's actual signature, on the label...just about mint condition..this type of guitar, is Phil's all time favorite design, and favorite type guitar, to play Jazz on...super comfortable to play...a smaller size, but sounds like a big fat Jazz guitar..like so many of these, the pickguard rotted, and discolored the Pickups, so the owner actually had Ibanez send a new pickguard, AND new correct pickups...and here's the deal...the earliest versions of these sound a bit thin, and "Underwhelming"...So, Ibanez went to Seymour Duncan, and had him do his magic thing, and "tweak" the pickups...they became MUCH better sounding...and this example has the better sounding version, of the pickups...everything on the guitar is orig. issue Ibanez, and correct...just the better Ibanez P/U's...comes with two cases...the big square road case, and the more traditional case (if you want both....shipping would be X2..)...this is the nicest example of an early issue GB-10, out there, and a great investment, that is a BLAST to play...
