[santellavision]

Ibanez - Paul Gilbert 'Signature' PGM50 Guitar

Mint condition. I am the original owner. Only played lightly in my non-smoking home.

I went over it from top-to-bottom, there’s not one mark on it. Anything in the pics is just a reflection or glare. Plays beautifully with fast, low action and no buzzing, Neck is straight with no issues. I had it professionally setup, so when you get it, it'll be ready to play without paying to have it setup. Comes with all its original paperwork/candy and original gig bag. Message me with any questions – thx

$1,000 Shipped and Paypal'd

Not interested in any trades.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Looks nice! Pretty neck construction and always liked those Ibanez knobs.
Is this a current model? Curious about the offset of the low E string ferrule on the back… GLWTS

Yepper, it's a new 2023 version. The offset ferrule is different, but I guess Paul G decided it made a difference.

I was interested, too.  The most plausible explanations I could find via interwebsurf are:

1. It's to allow more room for the saddle to move back for proper intonation without the saddle getting in the way when you're trying to put a new string through the ferrule.

2. It’s for dropped tuning it helps keeps the string from becoming flabby.

I've always enjoyed the aesthetic of the Paul Gilbert models.

The offset is not a PG model exclusive... it's also on much cheaper models as well... it's just how they are building the hardtails nowadays
