2B~ May I suggest you start a new thread that discusses your amazing guitar photography? No trade secrets need be included.

(Sadly it was going for 1000+ over the PM. I preferred the tone of the GB its a spruce GB vs maple PM thing)
In answer to Rob’s question here are the body depths of my two Ibanez MIJs, and the TF for comparison. Note the PM is same as 2B’s GB.
AF200 2 3/4”
PM200 3 1/8”
TF 2 7/8”
The AF200’s are considerably less blinged out than the GB200. My 2014 prototype has a plain standard headstock (that GB200 is Beautiful!). Plainer binding, of course WAY plainer tailpiece.
Its sound (with a Fralin Modern PAF) is nicely thunky but still retains some of its smaller body high end. With GB14s its quite nice, first off the wall for me.

(The written text and specs in the ad below pertain to the smaller GB10, however.)

OK Guys, the GB200s are beautiful, especially as shown by 2B's photos, so when are we going to hear some sound bites. As I've learned throughout life, you can't always get by on looks alone!

I love the GB200 model. Enjoy that bad boy as long as you can.
George also loves the GB200, but according to this video, he couldn't help "dibbling and dabbling" with guitar designs.
That's what brought about the latest GB model, the LGB300. I've yet to try the latest model and have no plans of dropping more coins for it, but Mr. Benson swears by it.

2b, I hope you are in good health. Stay strong.
That is a really Beautiful guitar. Made even more beautiful by your 1st rate talent as a photographer.
It’s nice to see someone else is the recipient of another act of extreme kindness from Mike. Big man, big heart.
Stay well, and enjoy!
