Paul Gilbert's signature model has arrived.
This is the signature model of Paul Gilbert, who made a spectacular debut with RACER X and became a world-renowned guitar hero as the guitarist for the supergroup Mr. Big. Based on the serial number, this FujiGen-made guitar was manufactured in 1997.

It features a basswood body, a maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard, equipped with Ibanezfs original INF1H/INF1S/INF2H pickups in an H-S-H configuration.

It is a model with a distinctive design, featuring his trademark dummy f-hole, as well as the pickup selector and volume knob positioned above the f-hole.

With a slim neck and jumbo frets that enable technical playing, the specifications make it easy to perform fast phrases and sweep picking.
The finish shows yellowing due to age, and there are scattered fine scratches and dents.
The hardware has a dull finish, and part of the back panel is cracked.
The tremolo arm is missing, and there are some signs of wear, but the instrument has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is excellent.
