NGD: Paul Gilbert Fireman

[LucasLeCompte]

I got this awesome guitar when I went to Paul Gilbert's guitar escape camp in Big Indian, New York. Paul gave away one of his guitars and he actually pulled my name. I was super shocked I won the guitar. It plays really well; it has a neck similar to a Les Paul. It is beefy but still very fast. The DiMarizos are very bright sounding, but if you roll the tone knob back they darken up. Overall it is a very awesome guitar. I even got Paul to sign it for me.

Sweet!

Very cool. I've always been curious about this model.

Congrats and enjoy!!!

That's awesome! I've been wanting to try one, as I'm a big fan of Paul and his lessons. I've got a Strat and an old RG770DX to cover that kind of stuff, but the Fireman looks pretty versatile, and original too.

Very cool.

 

[FractalGarden]

Surprised this is a MIC guitar. Would have thought it to be MIJ.

Congrats on that guitar. Sure you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.

Congrats on the score (and getting to meet PG!).

Man, I love the look and the overall vibe of the Fireman, but I picked one up in a Guitar Center a few months back and the neck felt absolutely HUGE to me. It just felt very foreign and out of place on a guitar with the Ibanez name on the headstock

Paul sure makes it sound awesome, though

These really are quite cool in my opinion, but then, I really dig V's Explorers and Firebirds too. Fireman shape could definitely allure me as well. PG seemingly being such a nice guy helps to. Big congrats!

There was a prior MIJ version. It was about $7000 IIRC.

Very cool, besides the fact that you got it directly from Paul it's a killer guitar. I've had my eye on one for a while now.

 

[Racehorse]

That is wild! Congrats on a very unique and special NGD.
