New for 2015 Ibanez Paul Gilbert Fireman FRM150 TR – a new signature model for the Mr Big lead guitarist to replace the 2011 FRM100 TR model. The difference is mainly the DiMarzio pickups with the classic thicker humbucker tones. Everything else has the same level of awesomeness…
Paul designed this himself by taking the already popular Ibanez Iceman and flipped it upside down then adjusted the controls to his favoured playing style. Still has the Set-in neck construction provideing massive sustain and playing comfort. The FRM150 features H-S-H pickup configuration – DiMarzio® Air Classic™ in the neck and bridge positions, and DiMarzio® Area 67™ in the middle. The Ibanez original Tight-Tune bridge and tailpiece promote superior transfer of string vibration without unwanted movement.
“When I pick up my Ibanez Fireman, I know that everything is going to be all right. It is truly a pleasure to be able to express my anger, explore my melodic imagination, and simply play good rock and roll, with such a world-class instrument.” – Paul Gilbert
