Welcome to the gear corner,  this is the 1st "adult" guitar I got. Since 2007 in my hands. Extraordinary well crafted, kind of Gibson 335 clone from one of the best guitar factories worldwide. Killer sound for any electric style from jazz to hard rock.
Here is short tech review by master luthier A, Góralski:
<De-jazzed> version of a famous, George Benson signature model GB10. Much more "electric" thanks to anti-feedback sustain block inside thinner semi-holllow body. Not to forget decent Super 58 humbucker pickups from Ibanez and very interesting bridge with double locking Gibraltar II (after setup the saddles are locked and then the whole bridge locks as well. The Quik Change II tailpiece and stylish tuning machines from Gotoh, Black hardware fits well red lacquer. In this guitar the original saddle was exchanged to Compensated Nut.

Check the sound through tube amp:
