Pete Robinson - Ibanez PGM Demo and Gear

I chopped in the Jem recently, purely because, as amazing guitar though it was, it wasn't quite right for me. I traded it in for a PGM, and although the PGM was half the price (PGM was £900 ($1245) and the Jem was ($2491)) it suits my playing style much more and I personally feel it's a much better guitar.

Also in the video is a review over my gear as it's changed slightly since I last done a gear video.

Enjoy :-)

how would van halen / metallica go with this

was going to get a dean (metal sounding guitars) but i heard this was incredibly versitile

[ironhamster88]

A lot of it is in the amp to be honest. If you want van halen, push your middle and treble up quite high, I've never tried to get a metallica tone but I would start by pushing the bass up, the middle up and the treble down.

But as guitars go, yeah it's pretty versatile.

However, Dean's are a different story. I've played lots of deans, and never played one (apart from the MAB SIG) that I've though was any good. To me, they all feel and sound cheap and nasty, although again, thats just my opinion.

hey ,the mab is what i was going to get, wat is your say on that?

[ironhamster88]

Fortunately, I've actually played a Dean MAB and actually (although it's nothing like the setup MAB usually has) its a really nice guitar. It feels nice, it's REALLY easy to play and it's got good tone. I'd say it's a good bet, although perhaps a little overpriced, especially for a Dean.

which pickups are better the ones in ur pgm or the ones in ur jem?

[ironhamster88]

They are very different pickups. If you want a warmer and thicker tone, I'd go for the Jem, but the seem to lack any brutality. If you listen to the way Vai plays, he doesn't actually play hard, or brutal, it's all very fast, very accurate and very delicate, so the Jem pickups wheren't designed to have that harsh edge, where as the PGM pickups really have that harsh snarl to them that I like, but for cleaner and warmer tones, the Jem would be better.

funny you say these pups are high output lol ... technically they are much much lower output then the Dimarzio Evolutions that wer in ur JEM ...this guitar has PAF Pro's , which Dimarzio considers medium output and the Evolutions being HIGH output...but w/e...maybe the overall brighter tonality of the guitar an pups tricks ur ears into thinkin ther louder. PAF Pros are deff a tad crispier than the warmer middy tone of the evo's
