Would anyone be interested in this beaut?
What price could I expect it to fetch?

1998 Ibanez PGM-30 Paul Gilbert model
Basswood body
"Painted f-holes"
One-piece maple neck
TRS II locking tremolo
5-way switching for IBZ pickups

Immaculate condition.

Its not my style, mate but it sure looks like it would be a great buy for someone.

I don't know Ibanez prices, but if I were to bid on TM for it, I'd be looking around $450-$550 (that may be waaay off - as I say, I don't know Ibanez prices).

Good luck.

That's a very nice gat

. I played a PGM30 once, and it was a good guitar, had a very nice, fast feel. I see there is one on EBay for $US450, but the one you posted looks to be in better condition than that one.

If I had the spare money, I would buy it

Yeah...I just mentioned that the F-Holes were painted on incase people thought that they were actually F-Holes!

If I were to keep it, I would have it stripped and dyed anyway

(NO ROG! NOT PURPLE!!)

Its just surplus to my needs! I am such a guitar whore....I worry myself sometimes!

Most Gretsches from the mid 60's onwards had painted on f-holes

A new PGM301 goes for $2695, but they're the Jap Prestige version with Gotoh and DiMarzio bits on it. This one is the lower spec version and I think those would have been about $2k new, so about half that is in the right vicinity. $1000 - $1200 to the right buyer.

Whe said Klopstra would only accept money - be creative man and offer him a night of unforgettable passion!!

If nothing else, you'll be able to point to the guitar in years to come and say 'you'll never guess how I got that!!!'

LOL!

I've never heard of Paul Gilbert, so being an inquistitive soul I did a search. I still can't say I know much about him, but I enjoyed this page. Gotta love a man with a good sense of humour!

Paul Gilbert's music is cool indeed, but his website - and sense of humour in general - are just the best

Did you look at his page of photoshops?

They are really funny
