The World Of Ibanez
Electric guitars that rock hard, basses that can bring the funk or summon metal thunder, acoustic
guitars with great natural sound and cutting edge electronics and hollowbody “Artcore” guitars for
jazz, blues and more. Ibanez instruments boast the most beautiful designs, finest craftsmanship
and prices that fit everyone’s budget.
The name Ibanez brings with it a long history of high-quality, affordable musical instruments
that have been pleasing musicians for decades. The roots of Ibanez go back to 1908, when the
Hoshino family-run bookshop in Nagoya, Japan began supplying musical instruments. In 1929,
the Hoshino Musical Instrument Company started importing its first guitars, the Salvador Ibanez
brand, from Valencia, Spain.
Fast forward to 2008, Ibanez instruments are being played by some of the greatest musicians in
every genre of music: Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, George Benson, John Scofield and Pat Metheny are
just a few of the musical giants that stand by Ibanez guitars.
With Ibanez instruments, there’s something for everyone: beginner to
professional. And every guitar is set-up and prepared with the same
care, regardless of price. Whether you play hard rock, jazz, funk, blues
or folk, there is a guitar or bass that will suit your needs.
Welcome to the World of Ibanez!
Ibanez PGM300 Electric Guitar The Anniversary
The PGM300 is probably the PGM guitar that I played the most out of any of them. It was really the workhorse, the most punished guitar, the one that took the most abuse and kept on going. I used it during the peak of Mr. Big’s success in Japan, when we were headlining three nights at the Buddokhan. It always sounded great. To me, one of the unique things about that guitar, for whatever reason, was that it cleaned up really nice. Whenever I would use the 5-way switch and click it over one click to use the single coil and the split-coil humbucker together and turn the volume on the guitar down, I’d get this really nice glassy sound. I remember playing that guitar on the Tonight Show, doing a song called “Just Take My Heart” that had a really clean sound. It just sounded beautiful on that. There was no channel switching necessary. I just plugged it into a cranked up Marshall, turned the volume down, and got this beautiful, clear, shimmering sound. Of course when you crank it up, it was total metal. So that was the guitar that my hands have spent the most time on out of any of the PGMs. I think my chest cavity has modified to its shape. It’s a very very dear guitar to me. I’ve spent so much time with it. I love it. You will, too. The PGM300.
