Solidbody Electric Guitar with Okoume Body, Okoume/Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 3 Humbucking Pickups - Purple




What can we say about Paul Gilbert? The man has otherworldly chops, flawless technique, and genius-level harmonic sensibilities. Players like Mr. Gilbert need a guitar that can keep up with them, and the Ibanez Paul Gilbert Signature FRM300 is the perfect sonic blowtorch for the job. The FRM300 rocks a toneful, eye-catching, and comfortable Fireman okoume body. Its lightning-fast neck is topped with a luxuriously smooth bound ebony fingerboard with 22 narrow and tall frets. A trio of DiMarzio PG-13 mini humbuckers serves up a universe of harmonically rich tone — from chimey cleans to full shred — while a Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece deliver prodigious sustain. If you’re after a guitar that sounds as radical as it looks, batter up and get your hands on the Ibanez FRM300.

    The Fireman: the perfect tool for musical exploration

    Whenever Paul Gilbert visits Music Experience, our resident guitarists perk up. That's because Mr. Gilbert is a master guitarist, a phenomenal clinician, and an inveterate tinkerer as well. In fact, Paul endlessly searches for ways to improve his signature guitar as a supercharged delivery vehicle for his musical ideas. This creative restlessness has caused him, in cahoots with Ibanez, to retool the Fireman several times over the years. The FRM300 represents the latest incarnation of Paul's iconic axe. Although his many fans will naturally be the first to gravitate toward the new version, the artist is quick to point out that this Fireman lends itself to bold musical exploration across a variety of genres.

    DiMarzio mini humbuckers offer extra clarity without losing the bite 

    Across the board, guitarists revere the sound of mini humbuckers. And for this version of the Fireman, Mr. Gilbert specified three particularly sweet ones. DiMarzio PG-13 mini humbuckers deliver more output with increased harmonics, while still maintaining the clarity and dynamics of a vintage minibucker. The result is a 3-dimensional, almost vocal sound that rockets off the string and rings true as it sustains. The response to your pick attack is intense, and the harmonics are positively glorious.

    Custom set-in neck joint feels amazing and enhances sustain

    If you’re looking to lock down your tone, the Ibanez Paul Gilbert FRM300 is your kind of axe. This instrument delivers serious sustain, courtesy of its special set-in neck joint, Gibraltar Performer bridge, and Quik Change III tailpiece. Paul worked long and hard with the Ibanez luthiers to achieve a neck joint that felt just right, while maximizing string vibration transfer and sustain. You’ll love the feel of this neck joint when you’re fretting up high. And the tone — it will speak for itself the moment you pick up this very special guitar.

    What Ibanez Says...

    From platinum album sales and number one chart success as a founding member of MR. BIG, to frightening the guitar community with new levels of ferocious picking technique with shred-pioneers RACER X, to exploring punk, pop, classical, blues, jazz, and progressive instrumental styles in his solo career, Paul Gilbert has recorded a massive amount of stunning guitar music, all while circling the globe to play sold-out arenas from Japan to Jakarta. Paul's style stands out for its rare combination of accuracy, creativity, and power ? all which are balanced with Paul's sense of humor and pure love of music. Although Paul is best known for his work with MR. BIG and RACER X, he has also toured with Joe Satriani's G3, played in a host of tribute concerts with legendary drummer Mike Portnoy, and been integral in the design of his signature Ibanez PGM and Fireman guitars. Paul's legacy as a guitar instructor began when he was eighteen, when he was hired to teach at Hollywood's Guitar Institute of Technology. Paul's groundbreaking "Intense Rock" videos and DVDs have inspired legions of guitarists to improve their accuracy, speed, and phrasing. Years as a columnist for Guitar Player and Premier Guitar magazines, along with giving countless clinics, private lessons, and serving for five years as the dean of MI Japan, have given Paul deep experience in the art of communicating music to all levels of guitarists. Paul currently teaches at his Online Rock Guitar School at Artistworks to help guitarists everywhere improve their technique and musicality. And Paul's Great Guitar Escape music camp has allowed him to inspire students in a live VIP setting. Catch Paul on tour with Mr. Big, with his solo band, or on a clinic tour.
