Yeah....if anybody says paul, yngwie, steve or etc is bettet, i think he just start to learn about guitar for a week/month. Every guitarist has their own atmosfeer... And you guys may choose whose atmosfeers you want to enter.
This guitar looks amazing! I remember my older brother had the cassette Lean into it by Mr. Big back in the early 90's and first time listening to the songs and say "Who the heck is this amazing guitarist?" and my brother pointed to me that indeed it is the master Paul Gilbert! Been following Paul's work since then. Congrats Paul for the amazing 30 years and looking forward for more!
There have been long specials about how the Ibanez George benson and Steve Vai signature models came to be, is Paul going to get one of those specials too? I hope so because I love to see him bring out the original prototypes and tell about them.
No because the PGM is based off the RG. The RG is in turn based off the JEM; the RG was the more affordable, non-signature model, to drive sales. The PGM has, usually, always been an RG with painted "f" holes and a slightly thicker neck.
@@stb301 Not really, look up the nineties Catalog scans of Ibanez and you'll find that the first PGM models had the same "Wizard" neck profile as the RG-550 on which they were based and there was a PGM model which had the Talman body shape. And the more recent "Fireman" couldn't be more different from the RG shape. Also, in 1986 the Roadstar models went from RS, to being RG and the change of body style happened along with the name change, so the model predates the JEM.
This is a pretty in depth video where Paul talks about his Fireman guitar and how it came to life if ur interested ua-cam.com/video/g59yiU7JunA/v-deo.html
@@RastaSaiyaman You just said it yourself, really, the PGM is based off the RG. And no shit the Fireman is different from the PGM; they are two different models. The RG is based off the JEM. They knew everyone could not afford a JEM but would want one. The PGM is a jazzed up RG. JEMs were prototyped in 1986, released in 1987 same as the RG. The RG was advertised in the Roadstar series but replaced the Roadsar Series II model in 1987.
I love my korean RG220B dimarzio tone zone in the bridge and air norton at the neck. Dropped in an old Floyd I pulled from a 1986 ESP Japan Kramer... Great playing and sounding instrument. Thanks for 3 decades of inspiration Paul!!
Has it been that long since the days of Racer X? WOW. So glad I have a little piece of Paul Gilbert's glory with my Paul Gilbert Mikro.... The 333 looks pretty cool, too. Thanks to Ibanez and Paul for all the music. Here's to 30 more years!
It’s a great looking guitar! But I didn’t hear much difference in the tone while you were switching pickups. The bridge and the middle sounded exactly alike. The neck was just slightly different. Love the bridge and the inlays!
She will be mine... oh yes! with 3 being my lucky number and the Dime 333 being my first guitar I bought when I was younger this beckons my name! Congrats on 30 years Paul 🙏
@@monocyte2210 It's a fun little axe but the pickups are a little shrill to my ears. If I feel like getting fancy, I might replace them. But I like having different scale lengths for different feels. You can bend so easily on the super-short scale. And $199? Kind of crazy. Mine had decent fret finishing and a good setup from Sweetwater.
Dang it, yet another guitars to add to my PGM collection. Love the triple mini's. Wish it had an edge trem instead of the vintage style, even with locking tuners they don't stay in tune as well as a double locking trem.
I just hope Ibanez will one day re-release Pauls PGM100,200,300 and 500. I loved the 100 and 200. Had a chance to buy the 200 when I was in Japan back in the early 90s, and I did not bring my CC with me just cash cause I didn't want to overspend while out and I regret it to this day.
Never mind just checked pricing and $3000 seems about $1500 more than it should be. I own a bunch of his signature models and never paid even close to that, maybe the PGM400 but that was a limited edition.
I wish the RG-bodied PGMs would stick around more consistently. Always in and out of production. This PGM333 30th Anniversary model looks killer. Could we get reissues of the PGM100, PGM200, PGM300, PGM301 again please, made in Japan, Prestige series or Genesis series?
Eric Johnson said he wants his jacket back.
But Hendrix wanted it back from Eric ;)
Nigel Nunes but Napoleon wants it back from Jimi.
My chemical romance too
Hahaha😂
More like Sergeant Pepper hahaha
If someone could bottle Pauls enthusiasm, they'd make a fortune.
And that's a damn attractive guitar.
Yngwie is better than him
@@johann1383 Do grow up.
페라리 paul is nicer... and I think he can hold up with yngwie quite a bit

"More happy than proud"
Paul is such a genuinely nice guy
Paul Gilbert is one of the best humans alive. He's amazing in every way. EDIT: Ibanez guitar play AMAZING
His personality reminds me of Adam Dutkiewicz a bit. Cool dude.
He's really down to earth- guy, met him once after his guitar clinic, really fun and humble dude.
@@joelm5509 that's true, I saw a clinic here in Lisbon years go and he was absolutely humble and nice.
Safe to say that Ibanez nailed it with this product demo!!
That's filmed in his own studio. Thats how he films his guitar school videos. Same backdrop, amp placement, etc... He just filmed it FOR Ibanez.
@@GeoffSweet They both nailed it!
How easy is it for Ibanez to get this guy to sell their guitars? What a guy! 👍
Does a double neck turn into a 666 ?
only if your 555
Congratulation for 30th anniversary!! I'm going to buy this #pgm333 ! I love it!
Preordered one. I can’t wait until it arrives

Damn! That middle pickup sound 😍
Did anyone else get a bit of a Jeff Goldblum vibe during parts of that?
YES
Now that you say it. I wanna hear him awkward laugh
Yes.. and David Letterman
Especially when he "got carried away"
Man do I miss the racer x days... It almost makes me cry that they're over...
So Paul Gilbert is the newest member of My Chemical Romance? I can dig it.
Same thoughts now
hahaha
More like he found one of Gary Moore's old uniform jackets from the ''Wild Frontier'' days,in the 80's.
Finally the band is coming back
Or Eric Johnson
Love that finish with the gold pickups!

@@stb301 soooooo, the pgm 700 is based off of an RG design???
Paul Gilbert is an inspiration to so many of us. I hope he plays another 30 years!
Most likeable guitar player ever. And only gets better with age. Long time fan. Congrats on the 30th yr Ibanez Rock Machine!
Paul Gilbert inspired everything guitar to me. All started when I bought a PGM301 in 2007.
I'm getting this instrument.
No wonder why Buckethead inherited that lick of yours and uses it a lot in his shredding... Sounds awesome.
Great master Paul. Keep rocking.
Most melodic shred guitarist EVER!!!
no that would be Steve Vai or Satch- but Paul is great
My vote is for Guthrie Govan
No, I think Satch is king .
Paul Gilbert is!!

Can we get a re-release of the original PGM301 also. I know a lot of people would like that also.
I need this in my life.

Hi Legend..
May i know the price of the guitar that you holding?
Paul Gilbert is such a class act. Gotta love the guy
I usually hare mounting rings on pickups. Not the case here. Stunning guitar. Congrats Paul and Ibanez!
Gorgeous guitar, love the F-"holes" and just one knob far away from the strings is brilliant. Really makes you wanna dress up to play that beauty.
Sounds quite pleasing
God, I love Paul Gilbert
Cameraman off screen: Goddamnit Paul, stop being so charming. We've already had to scrape the charisma build-up off our lenses twice today!
Fuck ?YEA!!! I'm going to buy it!!

Ibanez all the way, brother. I've been playing them for 30 years too. Only four strings on mine though ;)
Now if only I could play as well as Paul Gilbert!
An awesome guitar coming from an awesome guy!
Congratz bru! I've waiting for mine
educate me: is PGM an RG Mikro body?
Malcolm Sebanes hes just so huge thats why
@@harimauvortex haha true
It's stunning, good job!
Great person, great playing, great guitar
Just had a thought: Is the neck thick like a Fireman or thin like a PGM100?
333 is a magic number. . .
Sick man congrats!!!
Great guitar. Perhaps someday I'll be able to afford one.
I'm normally not a huge fan of the f-holes, but on this one and his red Ibanez, I like it.
Mini humbuckers are so underrated. Unpredictable at its best.
Never mind just checked pricing and $3000 seems about $1500 more than it should be. I own a bunch of his signature models and never paid even close to that, maybe the PGM400 but that was a limited edition.
wow, that's a beautiful guitar!!!!
THANK YOU for using the Gotoh bridge and not that stupid Gibraltar one that they put on all the "FX" series guitars. This one is so much better.
The legend still gives me a big smile. Don't hold back Paul!
OMG!!!!! THAT IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Is it only a 3 way switch? No blending of the pickups?
Woooow! Beautiful! The great Uncle Paul 😉🤟👍🎵🎶🎼 30🎉🥇
This looks awesome, I love it!
Wow ! Beauty... will it be available in left handed ?
I love the reverse headstock
rock n' roll,mr.paul...the one of mister big's.
