The Ibanez PGMM31 Paul Gilbert miKro Electric Guitar White is a 6-string miniature signature model released for NAMM 2017. With a shorter scale neck and smaller body, Paul Gilbert's Signatue PGM model is now available in a compact size making it ideal for younger guitarists and/or people with smaller hands that struggle with wider frets. The PGMM31 contains most of the features from the classic PGM model including a reversed headstock, a maple fingerboard and iconic f-hall paints with 1-volume control. Despite a tiny body and short scale, the miKro series does not sacrifice playability.
The main features of the Ibanez PGMM31 Paul Gilbert miKro Electric Guitar White include:
There are not many short scale guitars on the market, and most of them are marketed at children (read between the lines: crap quality and cheap sound). But let's face it: there are adults out there who aren't too large either. Say you're a girl with miniature hands, and a standard size guitar feels like a huge log next to you, whatcha gonna do then heh?
Chit chat aside, this is a very decent instrument, with wide tonal variety (thanks to 5-position switch and coil-split pickups). Sounds very clean and deep. Super comfortable to play for small-handed players. Very lightweight and compact, but still it looks like a proper instrument (and yes, it does look astonishingly beautiful).
Tuners could've been a bit better, but hey, look at the price tag.
Good guys from Musicstore added a special cleaning cloth as a bonus - very nice touch.
