Ibanez PWM100, black oil, made in Japan 2017. This sleek riffstick is the signature model for Paul Waggoner, chief shredlord for USA progressive act Between the Buried and Me. They're a wild band: huge changes, big soundscapes, dynamics ranging from whisper-quiet winding sections to proper death metal crushes. Paul was playing Ibanez S Series guitars for a while, before switching to Paul Reed Smith for a bit, and then bringing a bit of that PRS-feel to his signature Ibanez. The body is slim, but at 44mm, it's notably thicker than a regular S series, while still weighing in at a featherlight 3.3kg. The neck is a little thicker than a regular Wizard neck too, kinda similar to a PRS 'Wide/Thin' shape: still very quick and on the slim side, but not that super flat slim D shape common on Prestige RG models etc. I reckon those changes add up brilliantly: it feels great. The satin finish, natural balance and millimeter-perfect build make this thing feel extremely easy in the hands. The ash grain on show is pretty too, it's a bit snazzier than a standard flat  black while maintaining a suitably mean look. The pickups are by Mojotone, who make Paul's signature Hornet set: passive humbuckers, with a ceramic magnet for the bridge and a more calm and measured alnico magnet for the neck, with a coil-split via the mini toggle. The tone is great: clear and warm on the neck, thick and angular on the bridge. These have been discontinued for a couple of years now, so they're not that easy to find... get on the wagon while it's in town.
