I got the GB10 about a year ago; I love it! I had a Gibson L5 decades ago, but I'm a little guy (5'5) and that guitar was too big for me. I had been using an Epiphone Sheraton with .012 flatwounds for my jazz guitar, but it's been sitting in the closet ever since I got the GB10. The GB10 is perfect for me; it's smaller and lighter, but it sounds as good as the bigger boxes. George Benson wanted it to be a smaller guitar to reduce feedback, but for me, that's just one of the benefits. Nice playing, BTW!

Hiya - just spotted this (great playing, of course). The GB10 sounds more ‘you’, with a more articulate and slightly more thick and compressed sound. I’d be happy with the AfF55 too, not that I need any more jazz boxes.

I’ve been looking for a jazz box for a while now - and had been thinking that I’d have to settle for one of those thin-bodied beasts. Now it looks like I’ll be able to get a jazz box that I can also play acoustically.

@@TheJazzucator Obviously this one - but I've also been considering the Guild Starfire SC or the Gretch G2420 - but those don't have the deeper body which gives a better acoustic sound - and they're dearer! Failing that - a cheap 335 type such as HB or Artist.

@@rebeccaabraham8652 I just had a look. They are nice looking guitars. The GB10se is small for a fully acoustic archtop, but projects very well acoustically. That sound is rather brighter, warms instantly when you plug it in.

Lovely! The AF was great - that’s what a jazz-box should sound like. The GB sounded much better than those I’ve previously heard, as well. Much less bright: must be the .11 flats. I’d still be trying to get it ‘down’ a bit more, though. When I was first learning about jazz guitars I used to lust after a 20-fret Ibanez, I believe they called it an AJ85. I think they’ve stopped making them, now that I might be able to afford one. Still, you never know your luck

Great comparison and playing! You could make any guitar sound good! BTW I did a quick search on AF55 and they all have the black dual P90 type pick-ups that to me affect the aesthetics of the guitar. Yours has the typical archtop humbuckers. Did those come with that guitar? If I cannot find an AF55 with those same hums, then I may have to contend with what Ibanez put out there with the black one. Cheers!

⚠️01:24-03:13=01:49, much too long for subjective comparison. Next video; edit individual (sound-clips) to eight seconds each w/rapid alternations, no fade in/out. Your musical knowledge isn't the issue. It's a given. The audience "only" desires frequent, and varied bites that; being rapidly heard back to back are sonically distinct. Merry Christmas🇺🇸🇺🇸✡️✝️🎄
