Fireman Guitar History

 

At the beginning, Paul Gilbert used Photoshop to do a transformation of the iceman, reversing the body and add an additional cutaway, which is a little smaller than the original one on the Iceman. Paul designed two versions of the Fireman Guitar, one with Korina body, known as pgmfm1 later, another one with mahogany body, known as pgmfm2 later. Why is it called Fireman Guitar? At first, Paul called it reversed Iceman, but later one of Paul's fans saw the video in which Paul was playing with the guitar online, the fan think since it is a reversed Iceman, then the opposite side of ice is fire, so why not call it Fireman Guitar. So he suggested Paul to give it the name "Fireman". Paul accepted his proposal. In 2009, Ibanez Company officially launched the product, and Paul soon got this Fireman Guitar, using it over his albums and various stage performances. This is the story of the Fireman Guitars' birth.

4. Paul Gilbert Kikusui Fireman Guitar - Custom Edition, the edition we replicated

 

Since this Fireman Guitar custom edition was custom designed for Paul, Ibanez had not released it with large quantities, but we can see it in some videos, it's Paul's unique guitar and very precious, similar to pgmfm2.

   

 

Fireman Guitar custom Edition Design features

 

Paul's design idea was influenced by Michael Anthony's Jack Daniel bass, Michael ever got the idea "Why cannot he have a guitar like the wine bottle he favored." Long time living in Japan, Paul likes a kind of Japanese sake named Kikusui, so Paul inherited the text design of the Japanese trademark "菊水", light blue body just like the color of the bottle, the body labeled with "菊水", the volume buttons and tune buttons using bottle caps.

When the custom Fireman Guitar came into being, Paul highly praised it. He said Ibanez had done a great work, turning my imagination into reality, producing a guitar that sounds and plays very good. Paul used this particular Fireman Guitar in MR. BIG Reunion tour in Japan.

 

Body: Mahogany Neck: Mahogany Fret board: Rosewood Neck structure: Set-in Bridge: T-O-M style Pickups: Wilkinson

 

Since this Fireman Guitar was not mass produced, there is no place for the majority of guitar enthusiasts to buy it. That’s why we pick it out to replicate the Fireman Guitar, but this does not mean that we can only replicate this edition of Fireman Guitar. If you do not like this edition but other models of Fireman Guitar, we are also able to perfectly craft them for you!!

 

In the process of replicating this Kikusui Fireman Guitar, we meticulously checked almost all details of it, accessing to a large number of drawings and data and making a perfectly accurate replica of the original Fireman Guitar.

 

Custom Fireman Guitar Pickups

 

As to the Fireman Guitar pickups, since it is Paul’s personal custom model, the pickups were adopted only in accordance with his habit, so we adopt more affordable Wilkinson pickups instead of the original ones. If you are not satisfied with the pickups or have your own choice, please let us know it!

 

Since our products are produced with a small quantity, the price, compared to those custom made guitars, is more affordable, but at the same time, the inventory is limited, so if you really like this Fireman Guitar, please seize the chance to contact us immediately.
