Why should large people have all the fun? That’s not fair! That’s why Ibanez released the Paul Gilbert Signature MiKro PGMM21. This short-scale electric guitar was tailor-made for smaller hands. And Sweetwater guitarists like to travel with it, too. The PGMM21 sounds and plays like a guitar with Paul’s name on it should ? its Infinity R humbuckers yield a thick and punchy tone that’s perfect for rock and metal, while its thin, short-scale neck and medium-gauge frets ensure a great playing experience. And true to many of Paul’s larger models, the PGMM21 boasts a hardtail bridge that keeps your tuning rock solid. Now there's a Paul Gilbert signature Ibanez for everyone.





A duo of Infinity R pickups gives you massive tonal range





Loaded with a duo of Infinity R humbuckers, the PGMM21 yields a range of impressive tones. The neck position humbucker is voiced for warmer, richer tone, while the bridge humbucker is a brilliant lead pickup: vibrant yet snarling with an enhanced midrange output when you push it. If you're after maximum tonal tenacity, the Ibanez PGMM21 will give your amplifier what you need.





Comfortable short-scale neck





A guitar is only as playable as its neck ? good thing the Ibanez Paul Gilbert Signature MiKro PGMM21 has a smooth and fast-playing maple neck. This comfortable short-scale neck is capped by a bound purpleheart fingerboard with a super-flat 15.7" radius and 24 medium frets, giving you the agility to execute fast, single-note runs with ease.





Enjoy the tuning stability benefits of a hardtail bridge





Dive-bombs can be fun, but many guitarists prefer the absolute stability of a hardtail bridge ? legions of ace guitarists won't go anywhere near a whammy bar. If you're in this camp, then the PGMM21 is your kind of axe. The PGMM21’s fixed bridge anchors the strings, giving you a rock-solid platform for your music.
