NEWS: Vote for the next Ibanez PGM reissue

In yet more Paul Gilbert/Ibanez news, Ibanez is giving fans the final say in which past PGM model guitar will be reissued. Cool huh?

You can see each of the models and place your vote here.

I have a feeling the winner will be the PGM200 (left), although as a Talman geek I’d love to see the PGM900 (below) achieve wider recognition. Or perhaps, with the massive $9,333.33 price tag on Paul’s new Fireman model, fans will vote for the next closest thing, the Iceman-based PGM600?

The Ibanez site reads:

In celebration of the PGM's 20th Anniversary, we look back on the past two decades of crazy colors and designs that have made each PGM a unique instrument unto itself. There are a lot of memories associated with each model, and who better than Paul Gilbert to discuss what they are. Here is the complete lineup of PGM models along with personal comments and stories from Paul himself. Let us reminisce!

To mark the occasion, we are putting the guitars to a vote. The model with the most votes will be put back into production. Some of these were only available in Japan, so here's your chance to revive your favorite. Voting will begin January 15th and conclude on March 20th (GMT24:00).

My vote goes with the bottom one, although it would be nicer with a real hollowbody and f holes!

I voted for the PGM700. I love the violin shape!

Yeah, the violin one is so cool! The others can be found somewhat regularly on eBay or at Ibanezrules.com, but they only made 50 of the violin one originally.

I voted for violin. I think it would be lame to have another RG body model. I want something different.

My wife voted for Talman.

I voted for the violin too, despite my Talman geekiness.
