The legendary original Edge Tremolo bridge was one of the most reliable double-locking systems for 80's shred guitarists. Paul was a heavy whammy user in that period.
Dimarzio® PAF-Pro® Humbuckers and a true single coil FS-1™ are the mighty combination for Paul's searing, shredding and even crystal clear tone. All can be dialed in with the Ibanez Sprit-5 switching system.
The traditional neck joint has a metal plate with 4 screws, yet the tilt joint still offers easy upper fret access. Paul likes this original neck joint for its tonal characteristics, and it can be found on the latest PGM401 model.

PGM - PAUL GILBERT SERIES BASICS

  • PGMFRM1 Fireman Precision-made in Japan The Japanese made Fireman is the Iceman’s opposite with a reverse Iceman body, korina wood instead of mahogany, and single-coils instead of humbuckers. This very limited edition features extensive handwork. Includes deluxe accessories package and hardshell case.
  • PGM401 Precision-made in Japan A different variation on the PGM signature theme with a light ash body instead of basswood and a bridge pickup that’s closer to the neck for warmer tones in the lead position. The neck is thicker than a standard RG and features higher frets with a narrower fret width.
  • PGM300RE Precision-made in Japan Ibanez is pleased and excited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the PGM line with the PGM300REWH, a stellar re-issue of the PGM300WH. The decision to re-issue this model was made by a worldwide fan vote. We’re positive the fans will be pleased beyond belief.
  • PGM100RE 20TH ANNIVERSARY Precision-made in Japan This limited edition reissue of the classic 1989 PGM 100 is the ultimate expression of ‘80s outrageousness, creativity and technical prowess. Features the new Super Wizard neck with the same dimensions as the original 1987 Wizard but even stronger, thanks to 5-pc construction
