The Höfner Club 50 is a semi-hollow body electric guitar delivering warm, articulate tone ideal for jazz and rhythm. Its offset body design and dual pickups provide vintage character. The Club 50 appeals to jazz and vintage-tone seekers.

The Ibanez GB10 George Benson Signature is a semi-hollow body electric guitar that effortlessly combines stunning aesthetics with a superior sound quality. This instrument is a testament to the rich legacy of jazz great, George Benson. Expertly crafted by Japanese luthiers, the GB10 features a spruce top, maple back and sides, contributing to its direct, punchy acoustic tone and vibrant projection. The guitar boasts George Benson Special pickups, custom-wound and specifically designed for hollowbody guitars played at high volume. This results in a round, woody sound, offering both articulation and clarity. The instrument's playability is enhanced by its 3-piece maple neck and 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard. As equally impressive as the sound is the guitar's design. The GB10 is dressed to impress with 2-ply purfling with grained ivoroid binding, acrylic and abalone split block fingerboard inlays, and a tortoise pickguard. The gold hardware adds a touch of luxury, while the distinctive tailpiece gives it a unique finishing touch.
