I am proud owner of PGM30, 1997. model. I'm second owner (the first owner was moron, he almost crashed whole guitar into pieces - that guitar is lucky because I've bought it).
Specs are:
BODY BASSWOOD
NECK WIZARD II
FRETBOARD ROSEWOOD
BRIDGE LO-TRS II
HARDWARE COSMO BLACK
PICKUP CONFIG H-S-H
PICKUP'S IBZ INF1 (N)
IBZ INFS1 (M)
IBZ INF2 (B)
CONTROL  1VOL 5WAY
FINISHES WH (WHITE)

This guitar has great sound and action but I'm not satisfied with the bridge (LO PRO is better 10 times). Here is one picture from net:

Right on, kiddies. I´ve got a lovely PGM 900. I got it used, and I love it.

I´m too lazy to search for the specs, but I think ya´ll PGM freaks.

Although I think I will switch the pickups. Ibanez Super 58 just don´t do it for me. Any suggestions? Anyway, this is my baby. markus

Nice collection.

My favorite PGM has always been the 90th. I absolutely love that guitar, I think it is one of Ibanez' most beautiful 6-strings ever.

I loved my 301, but my 90th is sooo much nicer.

Mines just about ready for a string change, of all the guitars I've owned, the PGM is most affected sound wise when the strings are worn, then again its also most affected when the strings are new and makes it sound so bright and fresh

Don't you just love how there's no love for the PGM? We don't even get an "official" thread sticky.   --Jason

whelp... personally i bought my Ibanez PGM because Paul Gilbert is one of my greatest influences in terms of guitar playing, it's more like paying a respect to one of the best guitar player of our era.

...regarding sticky thread... to all those PGM owners and i know that there are a lot us out there... "I challenge you guys to speak up and show that Ibanez PGM Series is not a guitar for display, but rather a worthy mean machine when played by a real guitarist!"

whelp... for the record all Ibanez PGM Series looks really COOL no matter what model it is.  PGM301 fixed-bridge stands out because of its DiMarzio® Paf Pro® (H). The sound capability of this pickup is really astoundingly sensitive, meaning you can produce harmonics out from this guitar with precised distinction. whelp, i guess the 3PC Wizard Neck also gives a factor for the feature of this guitar to sound simply the best. Regarding the other Series like the PGM3 which is equiped with Floyd Rose Tremolo; that's my personal weapon of choice because i love doing artificial harmonics. Aesthetic is only second to what these guitar can offer...

Jason...You're everywhere!

It's not necessarily spending power....it's an addiction I can't seem to snap out of.

That's a fact. I usually buy one nice guitar a year. (Although this year isn't looking so good thus far.) I try to save every penny I can. It's all about how motivated you are, and what you're willing to give up. And anyone that doesn't believe buying PGM's is addictive, just hasn't bought their first one yet. There is magical power in those F-holes, believe it!   --Jason
