Paul Gilbert is one of the world’s most influential shredders, rising to prominence in the late ’80s through his Racer X project and as part of rock supergroup Mr. Big. A longtime user of Ibanez guitars, Paul’s PGM50 model retains the quirky painted-on F-holes synonymous with his previous signature instruments, and comes supercharged with a versatile H/S/H set of DiMarzio Air Classic/PGM pickups, Gotoh locking tuners, an American Basswood body, and a Rosewood fingerboard with medium-sized frets. This quirky guitar is a rock-solid workhorse that’ll cover all of the bases!
