Dan ini komentar Paul Gilbert tentang PGM 300
The PGM300 is probably the PGM guitar that I played the most out of
any of them. It was really the workhorse, the most punished guitar, the one
that took the most abuse and kept on going. I used it during the peak of Mr.
Big's success in Japan, when we were headlining three nights at athe Buddokhan.
It always sounded great. To me, one of the unique things about that guitar, for
whatever reason, was that it cleaned up really nice. Whenever I would use the
5-way switch and click it over one click to use the single coil and the
split-coil humbucker together and turn the volume on the guitar down, I'd get
this really nice glassy sound. I remember playing that guitar on the Tonight
Show, doing a song called "Just Take My Heart" that had a really
clean sound. It just sounded beautiful on that. There was no channel switching
necessary. I just plugged it into a cranked up Marshall, turned the volume
down, and got this beautiful, clear, shimmering sound. Of course when you crank
it up, it was total metal. So that was the guitar that my hands have spent the
most time on out of any of the PGMs. I think my chest cavity has modified to
its shape. It's a very very dear guitar to me. I've spent so much time with it.
I love it. You will, too. The PGM300.
