Pat Metheny New Signature Model !
Pat Metheny New Signature Model is a new signature model with a lot of attention to detail from looks to sound and Pat's wish for many players to have this instrument in their hands!
The head shape, fingerboard inlays, tailpiece, control knobs, and body color are all classic designs that Pat likes.
The head shape, fretboard inlay, tailpiece, control knob, body color, etc., are all classic designs favored by Pat.
Spruce top / Maple back and sides
Spruce, which is used for violins and acoustic guitars, is used for the top of the body, and is known for its excellent vibration transfer and natural tone.
Maple wood is used for the back and sides, which is characterized by its bouncy and clear tone.
The open-pore, very thin coating is applied to give the instrument a vintage-like appearance.
(* Please refer to "Note on Appearance" below)
Nyato / Maple 3pc neck
Ebony fingerboard
Ebony fretboard is made of ebony wood, which is characterized by its quick note rise and rich sustain.
Artstar Fret Edge Treatment
Spherical fret edge treatment reduces stress during fingering. This provides a higher level of playing comfort.
The nut is made of cow bone, which is standard on hollow guitars, and has a natural sound with few peculiarities.
Gibraltar Performer bridge
Zinc bridge with saddle adjustment screws on the tailpiece side.
The screwdriver is inserted from the tailpiece side, which makes it easier to adjust the saddle front to back.
PM special single coil pickup
This Ibanez pickup was made after many prototypes and long discussions with Pat.
The bass is not boomy and easy to pick nuance, and the single coil pickup has a crisp and bright sound.
The pickup is fixed to the body by placing the pickup body on a large metal plate and suspending the metal plate from the body with three screws, a classic style that shows Pat's attention to detail.
* Note on the appearance
Due to the very thin open-pore paint finish, there may be some unevenness in the wood and binding.
These are quality standards approved by Ibanez and the artist himself.
Please understand this in advance.
