Paul Gilbert designed the guitar by reversing the original Iceman body shape and adding a cutaway. The design was originally known as the 'Reverse Iceman', until a fan suggested the 'Fireman' (i.e. the opposite of an Iceman) moniker after seeing the guitar in a video Paul Gilbert posted on the internet. Features include a mahogany body with a cherry top, a mahogany neck, DiMarzio pickups and the Gibraltar II bridge. Another Fireman model with a triple single coil setup was released as the PGMFRM1.
