Paul Gilbert and his Ibanez Guitar Designs

Here's a guy who's passionate about guitars and Ibanez. He's got a signature series, very deserved of course, listen to Racer X for crying out loud, but he designed the shapes of these axes himself in photoshop. That's pretty neat! He calls the first one the Reverse Iceman. I believe these are 2008 Ibanez guitars but I don't think they are on the market.
Check out the woods he used on these things. Thick honkin' chunks, they look like beasts! I love it. The shape is really cool too. I really dig the tone on that second one he's playing there with the "poison" corina wood. Looks beautiful too.
The third one is a PGM301 and looks a little funky for me but the tone on those Ibanez pickups is pretty sweet. This is a custom PGM though. Dig the thick neck joint and all those frets! Nice to see a guy so passionate about the working and design of guitars. And cool of Ibanez to indulge Paul and create these beatiful guitars for him.
