      I have several of his albums - but tend to prefer the fully instrumental ones. Get Out of My Yard and Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar are both excellent (happened to be listening to them the past few days).

    REVIEW: I bought a PGMM31 last year. Of the mini guitar offerings out there, this was the best. I needed a compact guitar for travel, so I looked at the Squire Mini Strat which had cheap hardware preventing it from staying in tune. They appear to be aimed at kids for bedroom decorations. Jackson Minions seem like novelty guitars, not for serious playing. The Ibanez Mikros are the only line that come off to me as legitimate guitars. I will admit it required a pro setup immediately after purchase to fix the intonation issues, but once dialed in this little f’er rocked solid! The matching gig bag is sold separately, but only cost $20 bucks. I’ve dragged this little axe all over the country on business trips. Fits perfectly in overhead bins on jetliners. After many, many flights and road trips it’s still in one piece and playing great. EXCELLENT VALUE! I’ll also mention that Paul Gilbert was my personal instructor at M.I./G.I.T. back in 1987. Yes, he’s as fun and nice in person. No ego from that guitar hero. He was passionate about sharing his knowledge and skill with his students. Seriously good guy.

      Do you realize that your guitar have the same problem as mine?

      @@yurijovanka5823do you mean that the notes are out of tune above the 12th fret? That would be an Intonation issue. It’s worth it to learn how to do it yourself but you could also take it to a guitar technician who can fix it.

    I just got the green one. PGmm21 I think it's called. And here is my verdict. IT IS FUN !!! Very fun. Yes it goes outta tune here and there but not as often as you would expect (I haven't changed strings on it yet). It was so fun playing the little thing. I suddenly played a lot faster too. Only downside was frets were a bit sharp on the ends. But I fixed that.
