Paul Gilbert thrashes and rolls only with the best of instruments, namely his
own. His signature models deliver with a rough and tumble combination of shred
playability and warm tone just where he wants it. The design of the FRM100TR was
inspired by many hours of playing and performance by Paul Gilbert with the
original Ibanez Fireman model. The most eye-catching part of the FRM100TR is its
unique body shape, featuring a distinctive reverse Iceman body outline. The
Fireman's mahogany body balances remarkably well.
FEATURES
Similar to
his other signature models, the FRM100TR features a specific layout to keep the
volume knob location in Paul's favorite spot. In addition, the guitar features a
pickup selector switch and an added tone control for maximum tone
shaping.
The neck of Fireman is different than the previous RG shapes in
the Paul Gilbert signature series. It's thicker and fatter - 22mm@1st fret and
24mm@12th fret - for a classic feel. The 3 pc mahogany/maple/mahogany neck
offers the player a fat and tight sound with a solid grip for comfortable
playability which Paul demanded.
The FRM100TR features DiMarzio pickups
favored by Paul. The bridge and neck positions feature DiMarzio Injectors, while
the middle features a DiMarzio Area '67. They are designed with hum-cancelling
construction to eliminate the noise but retain single-coil tone. These pickups
have a warm, modern tone compared to vintage single coil pickups, and provide a
clear, tight sound. The sound stays true even under high gain settings, so solos
can be clearly heard when performing with a group. The classic bright and clean
sound is easy to achieve.
The original Ibanez Tight-Tune bridge and
tailpiece promote superior transfer of string vibration without unwanted
movement.
