NAMM 2009: 20th Anniversary Ibanez Paul Gilbert model

Moderator Jay from the Ibanez forum has posting this very interesting little tidbit about NAMM 2009:

As many of you have figured out by now, we will be releasing the new PGM401 as Paul Gilbert's Signature Model for 2009. It's a beautiful Ash body with black F holes (graphic) and a fixed bridge. You've seen the pictures from our sister distributors around the world. A great addition to Paul's rich history of Signature PGM's for sure!

For 2009, we will be celebrating a milestone in our relationship with one of the greatest guitarists of all time. 20 years of PGM goodness. And in keeping with Ibanez tradition, the 20-year mark earns this great musician a 20th Anniversary model.

Can anyone guess what it might be?

Ok, I'll give you some hints...

- It has the letters "RE" in the model number.
- It has two distinct, vibrant colors.
- Does not have a reverse headstock.

See if you can guess the model...

Jay later added that it's not the rumoured Fireman models - besides, those don't have vibrant colours and it's unlikely that the hint about the two letters was a reference to the RE in Fireman. He later went on to say 'think reissue' - so is Ibanez going to reissue the original PGM100 or PGM200?

I bet it's a PGM200. That'd be so sweet!

Newest hint was 'JB' which should be Jewel Blue which means the 100
