Ibanez PGM50 Paul Gilbert Guitar Black B-Stock 7583

Ibanez PGM50 Paul Gilbert Guitar Black B-Stock 7583

The PGM50 balances snap and articulation with resonant warmth through semi-hollow chambered construction, engineered for aggressive playing and precision control. Built as Paul Gilbert's signature platform, this guitar delivers the responsiveness and sustain that defined his virtuosic playing across decades of professional touring. The bolt-on neck geometry encourages fast fret access and demanding techniques without cramping, making it equally at home during extended live sets or studio sessions.

Playability & Construction

The 5-piece maple and walnut bolt-on neck provides stability and consistent intonation, while the rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays and 400 mm (15.75") radius supports both single-note runs and chord work with minimal hand fatigue. At 648 mm (25.5") scale length with 22 medium frets and a 43 mm (1.69") nut width, the neck geometry grants comfortable spacing for finger placement and encourages aggressive playing techniques without restriction.

Tone & Electronics

The three-pickup system pairs DiMarzio Air Classic humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions with a DiMarzio PGM single coil in the middle, offering tonal range from warm, compressed lows to bright, articulate highs. Control is straightforward via 5-way pickup selector and 1 volume control, allowing quick transitions between configurations during live performance or studio work without complex switching.
