Description

Young guitarists have heroes too. That’s why Ibanez is releasing this Paul Gilbert signature PGMM31 short-scale electric guitar. Now players with smaller hands can enjoy the quirky and iconic looks of Gilbert’s full-size models, while flying up and down their very own maple Ibanez neck. High-gain tones are on full display with a duo of Ibanez’s Infinity humbucking pickups. And true to many of Gilbert’s larger models, the PGMM31 boasts a hardtail bridge that keeps your tuning rock solid. Now there’s a Paul Gilbert signature Ibanez for everyone.

Paul Gilbert’s defining look

The striking F-hole paint job on the PGMM31 short-scale electric guitar harkens back to the shred-master’s original Ibanez designs from the late 1980s. The graphic injects a tongue-in-cheek classiness to an otherwise aggressively constructed instrument. And judging by all the attention it gets in our Guitar Gallery, it’s a look that has stood the test of time.

Short-scale construction

When guitarists look at a short-scale guitar, it’s easy for us to assume they are for beginning guitarists and children. While the PGMM31 is definitely a fantastic option for players starting out on their 6-string journey, it will also be a unique addition to your guitar collection. Need a smaller instrument for travel? The PGMM31 fits the bill. Want a guitar with super-light action? Again, the PGMM31. You can even tune the guitar up to higher pitches for a new world of tones.

A voice that excels at high-gain speed

Humbucking pickups are the gold standard for solidbody electric guitars designed for high-gain applications. Their tight low end, immediate and aggressive attack, and fat midrange draw hard-rocking guitarists back time and time again. That’s why Ibanez loaded a duo of Infinity humbuckers into the PGMM31 Paul Gilbert signature. These pickups boast ceramic magnets for a punchy tone that pushes your amplifier just right. It may be a smaller guitar, but the tone is absolutely massive.
