This is a Pat Metheny New Signature Model !
Pat Metheny New Signature Model is a new signature model of Pat Metheny, which is filled with Pat's wish for many players to have it in their hands, and a lot of attention to detail from the looks to the sound!

The head shape, fingerboard inlays, tailpiece, control knobs, and body color are all classic designs that Pat likes.

Features
Spruce top / Maple back & sides body
Spruce wood, used for violins and acoustic guitars, is used for the top of the body, which is characterized by 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)

Neck: Nyato / Maple 3pc.

Ebony fingerboard
Ebony fretboard is made of ebony, which is known for its quick note rise and rich sustain.

Artstar Fret Edge Treatment
The fret edges are spherically processed to reduce stress during fingering. This provides a higher level of playing comfort.

The nut is made of cow bone, which is a standard for hollow guitars, and has a natural sound with few peculiarities.

Gibraltar Performer bridge
Zinc bridge with saddle adjustment screws on the tailpiece side.
The Zinc bridge has a screwdriver inserted from the tailpiece side, which makes it easier to adjust the saddle.

PM special single coil pickup
This is an Ibanez pickup that reflects Pat's preference perfectly after many prototypes and long discussions with him.
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 note that this is a quality standard recognized by Ibanez and the artist himself.
