Ibanez PGMM21 Paul Gilbert MGN

The reason to why I bought this shorter scale guitar is to make it easier for me to play faster on parts in songs which uses stretches and it works with my 17.5cm small hands ;)
I was in the beginning a little sceptic to buy this guitar. Some reviews on second batch (late 2017) on the white version of this guitar said that it had intonation instabilities and the need to tune the guitar very often which I also found true when testing the second batch of the guitar in a store.
However I took the chanse and ordered this blue version which they started making 2019 after seeing good reviews again and I counldn't be more happy. The neck feels super prenium. I can't tell a difference between the quality on this one and a more expensive guitar, it's that good. No nicks or dings, super nice color that are even looking better in real life, the backside of the neck is really beautiful with the visible grains and the fretboard colour are a little darker than Rosewood which matches with the finnish really well.
The sound of the pickups are decent. The only con is that the frets feels like sandpaper but that's easily fixable by polishing the frets. You can do it yourself or take it to a guitar store and ask them to do it for you.
I think it's pretty safe now to buy either this guitar or the white version because the problem on the second batch seems to be solved.

I bought this little Ibanez as my son's first electric guitar, it's awesome for the price, he loves it and I love it too.
It's perfect for a young beginner due to the size, but it's very funny to play it even for an adult.
It is a real guitar, not a toy as many other "small" guitars you can find for a slightly lower price. It is worth paying a little more because it will certainly be enjoyable for a longer time.
It's beautiful to see and well done, I'm very happy with the purchase!
