The Ibanez FRM300 Paul Gilbert Signature was built in honor of the popular Mr. Big and Racer X guitarist. A tinkerer as well as a musician, Paul endlessly searches for ways to improve his instrument as a vehicle for musical ideas, and the FRM300 represents the latest version of his iconic axe. This Paul Gilbert signature is built with a 3-piece okoume/maple neck for optimal stability, an ebony fretboard with narrow and tall frets for clear tone, and an okoume body for a bright, solid sound. DiMarzio PG-13 pickups, specially wound for Paul Gilbert, offer extra clarity without losing bite and feature unique characteristics of both normal humbuckers and single coils. Additional features include a Gibraltar Performer bridge for rich sustain and a Quik Change III tailpiece for fast, easy string changes. A case is sold separately.
