Paul Gilbert training video guitar question.

ScottM · #1 07-15-2002, 11:48 PM

I recently saw a video clip of the net of one of Paul Gilbert's home video training tapes. In this one he played a red Ibanez I with a headstock I have never seen before (similar to an older Iceman). The guitar had 3 white humbuckers (i Think). Can anyone tell me what that guitar is????

It's a custom ghostrider or what became the ghostrider. The headstock is teh same as the ones on his violin guitars and the ghostrider series.
Also teh production GR range had 22 frets and was set neck not thru ala PG's.

The guy out of LA GUNS had a green one with a trem (Same body shape and headstock) I remember seeing an ad with him one time.

It's a cool guitar

does PG have any neck-thru models? i always thought the PGMs sported bolt-on necks...

NO PGM's have bolt on necks...except, for the 10th anniversary model which Is the only model I don't want (hey, I have a prestige...same diff. Right?)

NO PGM's are set necks or neck throughs [not sure about that violin shaped one though!] otherwise they're all bolt ons.

i think we're getting a bit confused...
what yo guys mean 'PGM'? i mean the standard classic ones, i.e. RG w/F-holes.
all the others (violin/Talman/Iceman) are alternative PGMs...

This should have stated that, "the production GR was a set neck not a thru neck ala Paul Gilberts red guitar custom Ghostrider as seen in Intense Rock II"

The 'Mainstream' PGM range of Ibanez guitars i.e. 30 100 300 500 800 900 10th 90th all have bolt on necks
