Description

Paul Gilbert is not only an extraordinary musician, but a creative tinkerer as well. Always looking to build a better mousetrap … or at least a more versatile one, Paul endlessly searches for ways to improve his instrument as a vehicle for his musical ideas. His signature PGM is now available from miKro series.

With its shorter scale neck and smaller body, this guitar is ideal for younger guitarists and/or those with smaller hands that struggle with wider frets. At the same time, those with longer fingers will love being able to play deep bends with the looser strings and due to the shorter scale will find it easier to perform blistering feats. Great tone, great playability and great fun it’s time to try the PGM miKro.

PGMM31 takes over all the icons of classic PGM model; Reversed headstock, Maple fretboard and of course, iconic f-hall paints with 1-volume control. Despite its tiny body and short scale, miKro series does not sacrifice playability under name of Ibanez. The .010–.046 string gauge ensure enough tension for playing comfort.

A case is sold separately.

    Bought it from a guitar center. Tried to tune it myself but they just don't stay in tune. Getting flat in a few strums. Went to master in guitar center and he wasn't able to tune it either. Said that it's just a poor design.

    I bought this one because its pretty - white with matching head stock and black hardware. I find the mikro's comfortable. Sounds Great with only a 5 position switch and a volume control - quite surprising. Needed full set up. Better to use Power-slinkies.

  • inexpensive / totally inspiring!

    I started playing in 1977. Former professional musician, now disabled, I'm shocked at the shoddy craftsmanship of this cool Mikro. I've been playing Ibanez guitars since 1982. Hoshino (Ibanez) actually modded my RG in 2010 so I could play a little despite spinal injury . From Paul Gilbert's video of this MiKro, I thought this would be playable out of the box with a little neck set up. Not so. Tuners are junk. As mentioned earlier, the neck is warped and bowed. The paint job is shoddy on the back (paint peeling). Of course the front looks cool. To make this playable I'll need a replacement neck and new tuners. I know how to set up a guitar with a floating tremelo. I can't set up this neck.

    I was really close to returning this guitar. The tunning and intonation was atrocious! I changed the strings for a set of 11's. Since the guitar has a short scale length neck they feel more like 10's when it comes to tension. Once the 11's were on it stayed in tune and inttonated perfeftly. I also had to lower the next pickup because I kept smacking it with the tip of my pick. I'm not sure if the problem was bad strings, bad string winding or because of the gauge. It's possible that even putting 9's or 10's would help but I didn't take the chance and went straight for 11's. Upon research I found the not only people with this guitar had this problem but the problem existed with all ibanez mikro guitars. I mean, it was bad, near unplayable. But I'm happy now and it looks and feels great!
