Ibanez PGMM11 JB Paul Gilbert Electric Guitar - Jewel Blue

Part of Ibanez’s acclaimed miKro series, the PGMM11 JB is the compact signature model designed with shred legend Paul Gilbert. Its striking Jewel Blue finish, complemented by pink pickups, knobs, and stylized F‑hole graphics, pays tribute to Gilbert’s iconic original PGM guitars while offering a fresh, playful aesthetic.

Body & Build

• Basswood body: lightweight and resonant, providing balanced tone and great comfort.

• 22.2″ (564 mm) short-scale maple neck: ideal for players with smaller hands—and beneficial for adults seeking lower string tension for deeper bends.

• Jatoba fretboard: delivers rich mids and crisp high-end, featuring 24 medium nickel-silver frets and white dot inlays.

Hardware & Electronics

• Infinity R humbuckers (H‑H): ceramic-pole pickups in neck and bridge positions provide tight, dynamic tonal clarity even under high gain.

• F106 fixed bridge: enhances sustain and tuning stability, with easy string-height adjustment.

• Controls: master volume knob and 5‑way pickup selector (painted F‑hole design cleverly hides the control layout).

• Die‑cast tuners & cosmo black hardware: reliable tuning and sleek visual finish.

Playability & Tone

• Its feather‑light feel and compact dimensions make the PGMM11 JB highly portable—perfect as a practice, travel, or beginner’s instrument.

• With lower string tension, bends and fast rail‑fencing techniques (like tapping and string‑skipping) feel more fluid—beneficial for both young players and seasoned guitarists seeking a different feel.

• The pickups deliver a wide tonal range: warm, clean neck tones and high‑gain punch from the bridge side, all without sacrificing articulation.
