Throughout his illustrious four-decade career, Paul Gilbert has cemented his legacy through a voltaic intersection of blazing speed, technical mastery, soulful soloing, and an unrivaled spirit of performance innovation. We don’t just mean the drill with that last one - have you seen his string-skipping technique? Armed with an Ibanez for nearly the entirety of these 40 years, Paul’s not slowing down any time soon, and neither is his ongoing collaboration with Ibanez. His PGM50 represents the latest entry in a long line of time-tested tone-crafting tools that have undergirded his work from Racer X and Mr. Big to his solo records and the dynamic sound spaces found throughout his latest full-length record, The Dio Album. Each guitar weaves within it the evolving ethos of Paul Gilbert’s multidimensional musicality, exceptionally equipped for the immense range of play styles that Paul has deployed throughout his discography. Sweetwater Studios had the pleasure of hosting Paul Gilbert for a hands-on showcase of his signature Ibanez PGM50, displaying his tenacious talents and peppering in lessons of the performance and life varieties along the way.

When Paul plays, it looks like he's trying to catch flies in his mouth. lol! He's a master though.
This man is on his own level
Paul is so awesome and fun. He is one of the greatest guitarists of all time and yet he is very kind and down to earth guy. amazing
Been following Paul since his Racer X days.
Though he didn't necessarily show it here, I honestly believe PG knows every single song ever played on guitar. Truly, a human jukebox. And that's on top of being one of the finest rock shredders of all time. What a pleasure to watch Paul's career and style evolve over all these decades. Taking the Mr. Big job was absolutely the greatest move he ever made - to not just be stuck into the [admittedly awesome but] limited style of RacerX, but to slow that thoroughbred racehorse speed and learn how to ease in and write amazing songs with even more amazing, melodic solos. Gotta love PG - what an ambassador for guitar.

Thank you for inviting PG! Always great listening and watching you, Paul!🤘🏿🤘🏿🔥🔥
WOW!!! It's Happy Gilby! What a groovy dude! I love how he plays with his fingers, but also his face too!😁
This is classic Paul
Anyone else missing his Laney tone?

Right here. It was much better than the muddy one he has now. Surely Paul's hearing loss isn't helping him finding a good tone.

@@livingbeing1113 Losing hearing means he lost more high end frequency hearing than mid, so now he is basically skipping the entirety of the high end, almost like a hard cutoff. It's not entirely bad when put into a mix, the high end usually get buried anyway, but if you listen just to a solo guitar in a studio setting it does sound very compressed. The guitar and pups themselves should not be limited, I think more of his sound is augmented by his pedals. The demo doesn't exactly give the full sound of the guitar.
The video production was masterfully done 🤌
Classic as always. Thank you
I love Paul Gilbert!
I want it now!
Great Guitar, Fantastic Player 🤘
Lord Gilbert rides again!
Still waiting for the Paul Gilbert signature double neck. I love his double neck and really want one.
Sounds great. Time for another pedal board review of his latest choices.
obviously a top tier virtuoso player, but also a good dude and a great teacher. more Paul Gilbert shenanigans algorithm👍
PG is such a badass
PG, from San Diego, I'm the best 80's garage-queen rock guitarist in town, just call me 619! Love you forever PG, you are a rhythmic, beautiful, electric, warm, lyrical, melodious, modern rock guitar icon. Peace Mr. Paul.
The amazing Paul Gilbert...
awesome
Ive owned Ibanez guitars since the 1990s and have found them to be equal to and even better than any of the Gibsons or Fenders I own.. Ibanez just doesnt do the massive advertising the others do so they dont get the love they deserve.
Paul is sn amazing man full stop!
Ibanez should make that new neck through PGM a production model, it's intriguing me and I'd buy one!
Really want the japan made 24 fret pgm like pgm 301 or 300 series
That's a classy looking guitar. I guess Paul has no use for tone knobs. Love the taped on magnet for the slide. 🎶👍
Is he playing through that Rivera Deluxe down there?
wait what Mr. Big cutting a new album? Please have the tour go for a bit longer. I really hope to watch them, and I'm not sure I can travel this year to any of they places they're playing :( But regardless. Looking forward to the new record. Paul is such a cool guy man
It is nice but I wished they reissued the 301!
I wish they would bring back the ibanez white pgm301

I need him to make a PGM model that looks and sounds exactly like his orange one in the Technical Difficulties video. I believe it has a tonezone and air classic, and if he puts locking tuners on that like in this model, I'm sold.
Send this guitar to brasil ... No have this guitar on BRASIL IBANEZ .. open yours eyes. Brasil need this
24 frets version?
I'm not into Mr. Big but with NDV on the kit I might have to check this out.
His transformation into Gary Oldman from the movie Slow Horses is almost complete.
rad :0
Honestly thought he was going to jam Master Exploder with those first chord strums.
Where was this Guitar Made??

Made in Indonesia under Premium series.. got mine 3 weeks ago. It’s quite high quality & very detailed..such as using genuine MIJ gotoh locking tuners, great paintwork , the cavity has copper shielding, Dimarzio pickups, sturdy selector switch & quality volume knobs

PG always update his signature guitar. More than Steve Vai or Joe S
that is a sexy guitar.
wy no make in lefty ????
A lefty model would be nice
Gary oldman plays really well!! 😂😂
Paul is amazing but man, sometimes those tones are nasty. This is really not a good advertisement for this guitar. "okay, we need to do a marketing thing for the new Ibanez PGM so lets play it through something that sounds like a Pignose amp. Shall we use a Friedman, or something? No, a Pignose will do!" 🙄
Mishter Big! 🤣
Anyone you know who still insists that Shred and Feel do not and cannot coexist, show them this and then (figuratively) drop a mic.
Nooooooo only 22 frets:(

He's said he doesn't like to play up high much anymore because his ears are shot and he can't hear much past the 15th at all 😢
La leva del tremolo non ce lha hai messo i floyd rose e poi niente leva ??????
Reasonably priced as well. Unlike the Alex Lifeson unattainable -for-most, $5000 Godin "partscaster".
Is it just me, or is he developing a Brooklyn Italian style accent???
I have just never been able to get past the fake f holes, in terms of owning one of these
Finally dumped that silly fireman
