AT200. Basically an SA, but in higher quality and better pickups. I don't know what his neck preference is, but it seems to be along the lines of Satch-like proportions. I think the bridge does float since it is a SAT30 bridge (I believe that is what he said will be on it). A custom DiMarzio bridge HB (according to the guy from DiMarzio, it is most like a Breed) and two Cruisers. Mahogany body, maple neck and rosewood fretboard. That is the guitar I am going to keep an eye out for.

My fault - when i said no floating trem, I meant Floyd-style not SAT30.
I think, as you said, it'll have a SAT30 trem on it.

Weren't one of the pickups a Hotrail? I could have sworn I saw rails on the neck pup...

Cruisers are rail single coils. Your eyes didn't trick you.

Does anyone have pictures of the Jemcoustic? I'd like to see one of these things.

You can probably continue discussion of it there.

I noticed on one of the earlier pages for this post someone mentioned the "lava pearl" finish that Ernie Ball has would make a great color for a JS1000. I have an EBMM JPM in the lava pearl color and I second that notion completely. That would be a great color for the JS model. A special quilt finish of some sort (not like the BTB model) would be cool as well.

Not a real revolution ... maybe this will not be the sole PGM new Ibanez stuff

I spoke to some Ibanez bloke at a music exibition I've just been to, he said that the new Paul gilbert model is going to have a fixed bridge and will be more expensive than the PGM30, I don't understand why because surely a FR system is more expensive to buy than a fixed bridge? The only other visable differance is that it's a maple neck rather than rosewood but there can't be much in it price wise there. I hope they keep doing the PGM30 because I really want one.

There might be other appointments that make the guitar cost more, i.e. better pickups, tuners, etc.

I might get a 301, I love the PGMs, love the reverse headstock, don't care for the thought of a PGM with an Edge.

There's something sacreligious about a PGM with a trem.

If it's made in Japan, it'll likely be a Prestige-level instrument, and will be priced accordingly.

CanadianMetal · #13 11-26-2003, 06:04 PM

the line up I have heard very reliable souces mention could be as follows, PGM fixed bridge for world wide distribution, Jem acoustic (see http://www.vai.com/Machines/guitarpages/guitar120.html for pic) the js may be a 7 string or 100 type of the 2000 fixed brige, and andy timmons gets some kind of hybrid SA style guitar. the Vai addition is only specualtion, it could be a JEM Jr. type deal with improvements over the disappointment of the JEM555. but I'll wait until january to find out.

jerrye · #14 12-01-2003, 05:40 PM

very realiable source on the new vai, i know what it is, i want one, but i wonder when and how many we will get on our little island.

Anyone know if the new models will have the tuning problems of the EDGE pro trems solved?

This is in case they are equipped with them of course. If the PGM is a hardtail, the jem is an acoustic, and the TImmons model has a FAT bridge then I guess not; but what about the JS? Or the new Rg models?
