A stellar reissue of the PGM300, the Ibanez PGM300RE Paul Gilbert Reissue Electric Guitar celebrates the 20th anniversary of the collaboration between Paul Gilbert and Ibanez.

Paul Gilbert is a long renowned guitarist who played in bands including Mr. Big and Racer X, and has collaborated with Ibanez for 20 years. One of the longest running models in the Paul Gilbert series, the PGM300 was rarely distributed in the United States. Ibanez held a worldwide fan vote on the Paul Gilbert model they wanted to see built again, and the PGM300 ended up being the clear victor. This limited edition reissue includes all the features of the classic PGM300 with some upgrades for 2009.
