Practice early if you want to shine on the fretboard! With the Ibanez Paul Gilbert PGMM11-JB miKro
I have a most of these 3/4 versions of Paul Gilbert's and Paul Stanley's guitars. This one like all the others are not really that playable out of the box. But after a fret job and a much needed setup it turns into a very capable guitar. For the price I think it's a very fair deal. And it sure does look the part.
Our son expressed an interest in learning guitar which as a player myself, was good news!
He is only 6 so wanted to find a 3/4 size electric - looked at a few manufacturers offerings (Fender, Jackson, Epiphone, Ibanez) but the PGM Mikro range stood out - maybe because I am a Paul Gilbert fan and know he tours with one of these. A little more expensive that the Fender or even the standard Mikro range but such a great guitar to play.
A few little finish details let it down (thin paint around the neck bolts) but a fantastic guitar straight out of the box. Easy to play, well balanced, mid-weight, good sound and obviously great to look at.
If you want something a little different in the 3/4 market, this is definitely one to look at.
I love this guitar! I am an adult with small hands and find the neck on this guitar superb!
It is made to a good professional standard and needed no set up (apart of course from tuning) straight out of the box. Ftets, action etc were spot on.This is no toy, but a well made reduced scale instrument, ideal for keen youngsters or adults with a sound that belies its low price.
