PGM80P

PGM80P Natural

The PGM80P is a PGM series solid body electric guitar model made by Ibanez. It is a signature model of American guitarist Paul Gilbert and was introduced in 2015 as a replacement for the PGM401.

It is the first Premium line PGM guitar and is based on the PGM800, but with some modifications. The guitar has an ash body mated to a titanium reinforced maple and walnut neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. The pickups are a pair of DiMarzio PAF Master humbuckers flanking a custom DiMarzio PGM single-coil.

This guitar reintroduced the whammy bar to the PGM series, however this time with a vintage style Wilkinson WV6-SB Tremolo Bridge and Gotoh locking tuners.
