Thundernotes Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Just curious if anyone here owns or has owned the Ibanez Paul Gilbert model like this one:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...T#ht_500wt_1156Wondering what your impressions were of build quality, sound, etc.Thanks
Jeff R Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I had a Korean-made PGM-30 that I hotrodded (installed a nicer bridge, pickups, switch, pot, jack) that now resides in the silentman collection. Outside of the stuff I replaced, it was a solid guitar and the MIJ Ibanez guitars are substantially better across the board than the MIK stuff for build quality, tone, playability, etc.
silentman Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Yup - it's here. The build quality isn't bad. I have a Japanese JPM that is very similar. Like Jeffro said, he swapped out the pups ans the crap bridge, so right now this guitar plays great. I wasn't a fan of the EMGs he put in so I have Suhr Aldrich pups and a GFS hot single in the middle now. Much improved especially in the neck.
specialk Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 the MIJ Ibanez guitars are substantially better across the board than the MIK stuff for build quality, tone, playability, etc.Giant +1 to this!
HAMERMAN Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 The AANJ (All Access Neck Joint) is very nice too.
