PGM800 Brown Stain (more images)

The PGM800 is a solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez for 1996. It is a signature model of American guitarist Paul Gilbert.

The PGM800 features an ash body decorated with Gilbert's signature painted F-holes bolted to a maple Wizard neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers and a reversed headstock. Components include DiMarzio pickups with a pair of The Tone Zone humbuckers flanking a JEM single-coil, a Gotoh GTC101 hard-tail bridge and Gotoh tuning machines.

The look of the PGM800 is based on a custom guitar Ibanez built for Paul Gilbert. That guitar had pieces of plywood glued to the top and back and was also clear coated.

The PGM800 was discontinued after 1999.
