Description
Paul Gilbert's signature PGM50 pairs an American basswood body with a 5‑piece maple/walnut neck for crisp attack and balanced tone. A rosewood fretboard with medium frets and Ibanez's Premium fret‑edge treatment feels smooth for fast passages, while the F106 hardtail bridge and Gotoh MG‑T locking tuners keep intonation solid. Direct‑mount DiMarzio Air Classic humbuckers (neck/bridge) and a DiMarzio PGM single‑coil (middle) deliver vintage‑voiced clarity with modern punch via a standard 5‑way switch and single master volume.
