Ibanez Paul Gilbert Signature PGM1000T-ACR

MR. BIG announced their farewell tour starting with shows in Japan and we are releasing Paul’s new signature models ahead of that tour. One of them is this super limited Paul Gilbert PGM1000T, built entirely by hand for j.custom by famous Japanese luthier Makoto “Nick” Sugimoto. This particular guitar is the only one that has come to Scandinavia, so when they say super limited, they mean it 😉

Paul Gilbert is not only a legendary musician, known especially for his work with the band Mr.Big, and an insane solo career, but a creative tinkerer as well. Paul has a tendency to want to design and build bigger and better guitars, or at least a more versatile one. Paul endlessly searches for ways to improve his instrument as a nucleus for his musical concepts.

Through all of the music, and all of the designing, Ibanez have always been working alongside to make his guitar of choice. This guitar has amazing resonance and tonal qualities, as every single part of the guitar has been carefully designed to meet and exceed the standards of Paul Gilbert.

FEATURES

• Neck Through Design – This gives a completely unique and smooth feel where the neck meets the body of the guitar, making it easier to shred on the higher frets!
• DiMarzio Air Classic Pickups – Paul Gilbert has always used DiMarzio Pickups, and still uses and loves them to this day. The Neck pickup has an especially smooth tone, giving you the Paul Gilbert tone heard on a career`s worth of music.
• Ash Body – vibrant sound, subtle mid-range making this guitar really resonate and deliver legendary tone.
