Model overview
The success of the Ibanez PGMM11-JB lies in its clever combination of a compact format with high-quality components. Created as part of the micro guitar series and inspired by Paul Gilbert’s signature model, this guitar still delivers the full-bodied tone and attitude you’d expect from a standard-sized instrument. Its 22-inch scale length makes playing smoother and more accessible, particularly for players with smaller hands or those who appreciate a more comfortable fit.
The maple neck is bolt-on, giving the sound a solid and tight character. Its profile feels natural in hand, equally suited for both simple chords and fast solos. The laurel fingerboard brings a touch of warmth to the overall tone while offering a comfortable surface for the fingers. The hardware is straightforward and reliable — essential for players who like experimenting with different tunings.
The poplar body keeps the instrument lightweight, ideal for concerts and long rehearsals. Two Infinity R humbuckers give plenty of tonal variety: tight, powerful tones for rock and metal, or a warm and clean voice for more relaxed pieces. The 5-way selector switch makes it easy to shape your sound quickly without endless tweaking.
Who is this guitar for?
It’s worth noting right away that the Ibanez PGMM11-JB genuinely suits musicians of all levels. Beginners will appreciate the ease of playing, the instrument’s light feel, and the softer string tension thanks to its shorter scale. This makes it much easier to build confidence, with even the very first chords sounding more assured. Self-taught guitarists will value how natural and effortless it feels, while still offering the full, authentic tone of a serious instrument.
For experienced players, it also makes an excellent travel or back-up guitar. Being compact and light, it’s perfect to bring along for gigs, tours, or jam sessions with friends. In rehearsal rooms it’s a great way to unwind and try new ideas, all without sacrificing sound quality. Producers and sound engineers will find it useful as an additional studio tool, as its versatile humbuckers adapt easily to a variety of genres. And professionals can discover new inspiration within its unique format, as it almost invites experimentation.
