IBANEZ PGMM31-WH ELECTRIC GUITAR

กีตาร์ไฟฟ้า IBANEZ PGMM31-WH Signature Paul Gilbert

The PGMM31 is a PGM series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2017. It is a signature model of American guitarist Paul Gilbert and is the first short-scale miKro signature model produced for Gilbert. It is produced in China.

The PGMM31 features a poplar body bolted to a 22.2″ scale maple neck with a reversed headstock and a 24-fret maple fretboard with black dot position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Infinity R humbucking pickup and a fixed bridge.

As with the other Paul Gilbert signature models, the PGMM31 features painted on “f holes” to help camouflage the controls, which consist of only a master volume and a 3-way lever pickup selector. For 2019 the 3-way switch was replaced with a 5-way offering coil-split options in positions 2 & 4.

The PGMM21 is a similar model with a treated New Zealand pine or purpleheart fretboard. The PGMM11 is a similar model with a basswood body and jatoba fretboard. The PSM10 is a related Iceman-style miKro-scale signature model for Paul Stanley which was introduced concurrently with the PGMM31.

 

BIOGRAPHY

From platinum album sales and number one chart success as a founding member of MR. BIG, to frightening the guitar community with new levels of ferocious picking technique with shred-pioneers RACER X, to exploring punk, pop, classical, blues, jazz, and progressive instrumental styles in his solo career, Paul Gilbert has recorded a massive amount of stunning guitar music, all while circling the globe to play sold-out arenas from Japan to Jakarta.

Paul’s style stands out for its rare combination of accuracy, creativity, and power ? all which are balanced with Paul’s sense of humor and pure love of music.

Although Paul is best known for his work with MR. BIG and RACER X, he has also toured with Joe Satriani’s G3, played in a host of tribute concerts with legendary drummer Mike Portnoy, and been integral in the design of his signature Ibanez PGM and Fireman guitars.

Paul’s legacy as a guitar instructor began when he was eighteen, when he was hired to teach at Hollywood’s Guitar Institute of Technology. Paul’s groundbreaking “Intense Rock” videos and DVDs have inspired legions of guitarists to improve their accuracy, speed, and phrasing. Years as a columnist for Guitar Player and Premier Guitar magazines, along with giving countless clinics, private lessons, and serving for five years as the dean of MI Japan, have given Paul deep experience in the art of communicating music to all levels of guitarists. Paul currently teaches at his Online Rock Guitar School at Artistworks to help guitarists everywhere improve their technique and musicality. And Paul’s Great Guitar Escape music camp has allowed him to inspire students in a live VIP setting.

Catch Paul on tour with Mr. Big, with his solo band, or on a clinic tour.
