Gilbert recently checked in with the following update:
"My newest Ibanez Fireman signature guitar is finished and on it's way to a guitar shop near you. Please check out the FRM100TR on the Ibanez website. I've been playing a factory sample as my main guitar on the Mr. Big tour and it's a fantastic instrument, full of killer tones. Here I am (see video below) squeezing some notes out of it on YouTube.This coming January (2012), I will offering VIP lessons in Southern California. This is the third year in a row that I have held this event. I truly enjoy it, so I'm doing it again. I hope to see you there.
Also, please check out the iTunes Store. Many of my solo albums have recently been added and are available for download now."
