General

With the Fireman 100 Paul Gilbert signature guitar, in fireman's red, you can get to know Paul Gilbert's iconic playing style. Together with Ibanez, Paul has developed the ultimate guitar for himself and his fans who desire the same unique playing experience as Paul 'Mr Big' Gilbert. Paul selected the special Dimarzio single-coil pickups for their warm, bright and tight tonal reproduction.
Strikingly clear sound
This guitar produces a sound that can be clearly distinguished when you play in a group so it's a perfect guitar for solo parts. What's extra special about the pickups is that they employ hum-cancelling technology, so that the pickups stay true to their single-coil sound, even with high gain. Thanks to the Tight-Tune bridge and tailpiece, the strings remain firmly in place and their sustain is maintained optimally. Sound the alarm wherever you are with this eye-catching, fireman's red guitar!

Nieuw prijspeil zorg voor een betere prijs/kwaliteit verhouding

Al meer dan een jaar m'n zinnen gezet op deze gitaar maar de prijs en de grote fluctuaties in kwalteit van Ibanez gitaren in het algemeen hielden mij tegen. Ooit eerder een exemplaar via bax-shop laten komen maar bij die gitaar stond bijv. de slagplaat wat bol. Die is dus terug gegaan. De gitaar kostte in die tijd nog bijna 800 euro en dan mogen dat soort zaken in mijn beleving niet voor komen.

Met de huidige prijs van 559 euro werd het toch wel weer aantrekkelijk om eens de gok te wagen en er een te bestellen. De gitaar was op dat moment niet in voorraad maar zoals altijd leverde Bax-Shop de gitaar binnen de gestelde levertijd. Dit exemplaar is een heel stuk beter. Netjes afgewerkt, licht in gewicht. Het meest zwakke punt van Ibanez nu is datgeen waar ze in de jaren 90 juist in uitsprongen; het frettenwerk. Ook bij deze gitaar is dat het meest zwakke punt; de fretten moeten eigenlijk net iets beter gevlakt worden. De balans tussen halscurve en actie luistert bijzonder nauw. Dit staat los van het kwaliteitspeil waarin de gitaar zich bevindt. Ook bij halzen met een premium of zelfs prestige afwerking komt dit fenomeen voor. Dat zou eigenlijk niet moeten kunnen vind ik....aan de andere kant; er zijn ook ibanez gitaren uit de gio-serie (de goedkoopste serie dus) die op dit gebied helemaal perfect zijn. Er is dus geen peil op de trekken en het is puur een kwestie van het juiste exemplaar zien te bemachtigen.

De gitaar is behoorlijk resonant maar moet duidelijk nog op gang komen. De grootste verrassing vind ik toch wel de dimarzio injector pickups die in de gitaar zitten. Ik heb al heel wat gitaren gehad maar heb nog nooit een pickup meegemaakt die clean echt sprankel clean is maar bij oversturing juist erg vet en warm klinkt. Die combi, zonder de toonregeling van de versterker aan te hoeven passen, ben ik nog niet eerder tegen gekomen. Het is in die zin écht een ying-yang gitaar......in positieve zin! Ook de treble-bypass cap op de volumepotmeter waardoor de gitaar op alle standen van de volumeregelaar even helder blijft, vind ik een pré. Zie je zelden op een gitaar standaard ingebouwd....
