Ibanez built the PS1CM as part of the PS Signature Series, a line developed around a signature artist relationship. The model carried the Prestige-level build quality that Ibanez reserved for its upper-tier electric guitars, positioning the PS1CM above the standard production range.
The guitar was constructed with a three-piece Maple neck set into an African Mahogany body with a Maple top, joined via a set-in neck with a smooth heel for upper-fret access. The bound Ebony fretboard carried 22 medium frets with Prestige fret edge treatment and acrylic and abalone block inlays, with a radius of 305mm. Nut width measured 43mm, widening to 57mm at the 22nd fret; neck thickness ran 20.5mm at the first fret and 23.5mm at the twelfth. The half-bone, half-brass nut fed into a 628mm (24.7-inch) scale. Hardware was finished in chrome throughout, with a Gotoh GE103B-T bridge set at 10.4mm string spacing and a Gotoh GE101Z-T tailpiece. Pickup duties fell to a Seymour Duncan '59 Model humbucker at the neck and a Seymour Duncan Custom 5 humbucker at the bridge, both passive Alnico units. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL120s (.009–.042).
Owners requiring replacement parts — including Gotoh bridge or tailpiece components, Seymour Duncan pickup replacements, or fretboard work — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with set-neck Prestige-grade instruments.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
