Rig Rundown: Mr. Big's Paul Gilbert & Billy Sheehan [2017]

We catch up with the virtuoso pair to talk about gear, three-string guitars, and how they dial in their legendary tones.

When Gilbert wants to whammy, he picks up this Ibanez Custom Shop Fireman with an Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo. It’s equipped with a DiMarzio Air Classic Bridge and a DiMarzio Air Classic Neck and strung with Ernie Ball RPS (.010–.046) strings.
