Paul Brandon Gilbert (born November 6, 1966 in Illinois, USA) is an American guitarist that well known for his guitar work with Racer X and Mr. Big, as well as many solo albums. He has also joined Joe Satriani and John Petrucci on the 2007 G3 tour.
Paul Gilbert primarily uses his Ibanez PGM signature series guitars, identified by their unique painted “f-holes”. Although earlier PGM models featured the Ibanez Lo-Pro/Edge double locking tremolo system, many of his guitars (such as his main PGM300) have since been modified to accommodate a fixed bridge, hence the Ibanez PGM301 series.
Paul is very active on the session circuit and is an outstanding showman as well as talented (and not to mention funny) instructor. Paul joined George Lynch and Richie Kotzen on the Guitar Generation tour and has most recently been confirmed as a performer at the 2009 Tuska Open Air Metal Festival.
