The Ibanez PGM800 is one of my favorites of the PGM series. The body is made out of light ash, which is really really light. I've done a lot of shows where I have to stand up, and it's nice to have a guitar that isn't weighing you down and hurting your shoulders. This is a very nice guitar to play on stage and toss around. It's got Tone Zone DiMarzio pickups in it with a single coil in the middle, so you can get a lot of sound combinations. I think it looks cool, too. I think light ash is a really beautiful wood. It goes great with the dark brown f-holes and knobs. It's a guitar that I played a lot in Racer X's later days, when we reformed. I did most of the "Superheroes" album with that guitar and million shows and clinics all over the world. It's a great guitar to stand up and rock with. So enjoy the PGM800. neck : 1pc Maple body : Light Ash frets : Jumbo finger board : Rosewood bridge : Fixed pickups : DiMarzio® Tone Zone® (H) neck pu DiMarzio® FS-1™ (S) mid pu DiMarzio® Tone Zone® (H) bridge pu Hardware color : Gold color : BRS (Brown Stain)
