Description

Designed and inspired by the legendary jazz guitarist for those with a versatile tone palette.

Finish - Antique Amber/Aged Amber

One of the most reconizeable names in jazz since the '70s, Pat Metheny has worked with a plethora "who's who" of jazz greats, in the process becoming one himself. Ibanez has collaborated with the wild-haired fret wizard to create the beautiful PM Pat Metheny Signature Hollowbody Antique Amber Electric Guitar. It features a PM mahogany set-in neck with maple top, back, and sides, plus a bound ebony fretboard to give you smooth, sweet tones. Aesthetically, the gold hardware, pearl and abalone inlays, f-holes and stylish KT30 tailpiece pair beautifully with the antique amber woodgrain and curves of the top for a truly classy instument. Other accoutrements include an ART-1 bridge, Silent 58 (H) neck pickup, and Volume and Tone controls. Includes a hardshell case.

Critic Reviews

Gear Review: Ibanez PM2/AA Pat Metheny signature model – Aaron Searle

aaronsearle.com

The Ibanez PM2 Pat Metheny Signature Model is an impressive jazz guitar offering great playability and rich tones at a budget-friendly price. Ideal for students and pros wary of traveling with pricier instruments, it delivers superb setup and sound. However, the thick polyurethane finish and the single pickup might not appeal to everyone. A minor internal rattle was noted, but it's overshadowed by the guitar's overall quality and value. For those not fixated on the PM200's higher specs, the PM2 stands as a worthy, cost-effective alternative.
