Paul Andrew Waggoner (born February 10, 1979) is an American musician who is the lead guitarist of progressive metalcore band Between the Buried and Me. A fan of progressive music, he is heavily inspired by John Petrucci, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth and Steve Vai, amongst others. Despite his mostly metal and jazz influential background, he has also listed Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo as one of his first guitar idols, as well as Green Day.[1] He also played guitar in the metalcore band Prayer for Cleansing,[2] as well as live guitar, as needed, for Lamb of God between 2010 and 2014.

He is married with no children. He uses Ibanez guitars exclusively. He has signature guitars with Ibanez, the PWM20, PWM10 and PWM100. He has signature pickups with Mojotone, the PW Hornet.
