Paul Gilbert gained recognition as one of the fastest guitar players in the world due to incredibly technical pieces like “Frenzy”, “Scarified”, “Technical Difficulties” and “Scit Scat Wah”. Gilbert left Racer X in 1988, but he eventually would rejoin the band in 1999. Currently the band is inactive, but Gilbert hasn’t issued any statements that he has left the band.

Paul has an endorsement deal with Ibanez guitars, and uses the PGM signature series. His main guitar is a PGM300. However, a few years ago he decided to convert it from a Floyd Rose tremolo model to a fixed bridge model, so Ibanez produced a model based on it which is called the PGM301. The majority of his guitars feature painted “f-holes”. He is often seen with Laney amplifiers, and praises them as having “the best natural distortion of any tube amp ever heard.” In the gear section of Paul’s website, he claims through playing with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci, he was inspired to take a closer look at his own guitar sound. As a result of his search he found the Marshall Vintage Modern series. Paul will be using two 2266c combo amps on the European G3 tour. Gilbert uses few effects, especially in comparison to some of his peers. He uses a Dunlop Wah, a delay,T.C electronic flanger/chorus, Electro-Harmonix electric mistress flanger and an MXR phase 90, running the delay pedal in the effects loop of his Laney amps. On stage he has also been seen using a Fulltone OCD Overdrive, most recently at The Benefit for Cliff concert that took place at the House of Blues Los Angeles September 30, 2006.
