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 korina body and neck, DiMarzio pickups and the Gibraltar II fixed bridge. The triple single coil pickup configuration is a first for the PGM series.
