It was the first mass produced Fireman series guitar, which was designed by Paul Gilbert and is part of Gilbert's signature series. It was produced in China. The FRM100 was essentially a mass-produced version of the limited edition PGMFRM1. This model came in two colors: transparent red and mustard yellow. The red FRM100 was available worldwide while the yellow one was offered only in the Japanese market. The FRM100 features a mahogany body with a mahogany and maple set-in neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot position markers. It sports three DiMarzio single coil pickups mounted in a tortoiseshell pickguard, a Tune-o-matic style fixed bridge with tailpiece and a teflon-impregnated Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The FRM100 was discontinued after 2014 and replaced by the FRM150. A hawt guitar built for a hawt rawk guitarist. Paul Gilbert thrashes and rolls only with the best of instruments, namely his own. His signature models deliver with a rough and tumble combination of shred playability and warm tone just where he wants it. The design of the FRM100TR was inspired by many hours of playing and performance by Paul Gilbert with the original Ibanez Fireman model. The most eye-catching part of the FRM100TR is its unique body shape, featuring a distinctive reverse Iceman body outline. The Fireman's mahogany body balances remarkably well. FEATURES Similar to his other signature models, the FRM100TR features a specific layout to keep the volume knob location in Paul's favorite spot. In addition, the guitar features a pickup selector switch and an added tone control for maximum tone shaping. The neck of Fireman is different than the previous RG shapes in the Paul Gilbert signature series. It's thicker and fatter - 22mm@1st fret and 24mm@12th fret - for a classic feel. The 3 pc mahogany/maple/mahogany neck offers the player a fat and tight sound with a solid grip for comfortable playability which Paul demanded. The FRM100TR features DiMarzio® pickups favored by Paul. The bridge and neck positions feature DiMarzio® Injectors, while the middle features a DiMarzio® Area '67. They are designed with hum-cancelling construction to eliminate the noise but retain single-coil tone. These pickups have a warm, modern tone compared to vintage single coil pickups, and provide a clear, tight sound. The sound stays true even under high gain settings, so solos can be clearly heard when performing with a group. The classic bright and clean sound is easy to achieve. The original Ibanez Tight-Tune bridge and tailpiece promote superior transfer of string vibration without unwanted movement. Case sold separately.
