Ibanez (アイバニーズ, Aibanīzu) is a Japanese guitar brand owned by Hoshino Gakki.[1] Based in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, Hoshino Gakki were one of the first Japanese musical instrument companies to gain a significant foothold in import guitar sales in the United States and Europe, as well as the first brand of guitars to mass-produce seven-string and eight-string guitars. Ibanez manufactures effects, accessories, amps, and instruments in Japan, China, Indonesia, and the United States (at a Los Angeles-based custom shop). As of 2017 they marketed nearly 165 models of bass guitar, 130 acoustic guitars, and more than 300 electric guitars. After Gibson and Fender, Ibanez is considered the third biggest guitar brand.[2]
Young guitarists have heroes too. That's why Ibanez is releasing this Paul Gilbert signature PGMM31 short-scale electric guitar. Now players with smaller hands can enjoy the quirky and iconic looks of Gilbert's full-size models, while flying up and down their very own maple Ibanez neck. High-gain tones are on full display with a duo of Ibanez's Infinity humbucking pickups. And true to many of Gilbert's larger models, the PGMM31 boasts a hardtail bridge that keeps your tuning rock solid. Now there's a Paul Gilbert signature Ibanez for everyone.

The OD9 uses the OD-850 pcb and most of the enclosures are repainted TS9 and SD9 cases, hence it's literally built of leftovers. Produced in extremely small quantities, never found its way to the official Ibanez catalogs. Rumor has it that all OD9 were built for the French market only. The fact that the owner's manual isn't trillingual (English, German, French) as the rest of the 9-series manuals but French only, does attest that.
The GRX40 features a solid body mated to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. Components include Ibanez pickups in and HSS configuration and a six-screw synchronized tremolo bridge.
