Ibanez Paul Gilbert Signature MiKro Electric Guitar in White

The Ibanez Paul Gilbert Signature MiKro is a compact electric guitar designed in collaboration with the legendary guitarist. It maintains the core tonal characteristics and playability of a full-sized instrument while being significantly smaller and lighter, making it particularly suitable for travel, practice, or players with smaller hands. Its design focuses on delivering the high-gain, articulate rock tones associated with Paul Gilbert's playing style in a more portable format. Constructed with a solid poplar body and a bolt-on maple neck featuring a 15.75-inch radius maple fingerboard, the MiKro offers a comfortable and fast playing experience with 24 medium jumbo frets. The shortened 22.2-inch scale length reduces string tension, which can make bending notes easier. It is equipped with a fixed F106 hardtail bridge for tuning stability. The electronics consist of two passive ceramic Infinity R humbuckers (neck and bridge) controlled by a master volume knob and a 5-way blade switch, providing a versatile range of sounds from clean, mid-focused tones to aggressive, high-output distortion. This guitar is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking a dedicated travel instrument, beginners or younger players who find standard-sized guitars cumbersome, or any guitarist who appreciates the unique feel of a short-scale instrument. Its straightforward design, reliable hardware, and signature-inspired pickups make it a practical tool for practice, recording, or live performance where portability is key, without sacrificing the essential character of a rock-oriented electric guitar.
