The Ibanez Signature Pat Metheny PM3C is a high-quality jazz guitar designed in collaboration with legendary musician Pat Metheny, known for his versatility across a wide range of genres. This guitar is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of jazz performance, offering exceptional tone, playability, and precision, making it suitable for players who want to explore Metheny's diverse musical styles.
The PM3C features a spruce top with maple back and sides, carefully selected to deliver a rich and responsive sound. The spruce top enhances the clarity and articulation of each note, while the maple back and sides contribute a bright attack and a balanced tonal depth. This combination of woods ensures that the guitar performs well across a wide range of dynamics and playing styles.
The 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple neck provides excellent resonance and sustain, with a unique profile designed specifically for Metheny. Measuring 20mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 9th fret, this neck shape offers comfort and stability, making it easy for players to navigate complex chord shapes and melodies. The ebony fretboard, known for its tight lows and strong high-end attack, further enhances the guitar's responsiveness and tonal clarity. Its 305mm (12") radius is ideal for smooth chord transitions and expressive bends without any risk of fretting out.
Ibanez has also equipped this model with medium frets and their Artstar fret edge treatment, which ensures smooth playability and accuracy across the neck. The guitar's PM Special (S) pickup is a custom-designed ceramic single coil that delivers a classic jazz tone, perfect for capturing Metheny's signature sound. This pickup provides a well-balanced output that shines in both solo and ensemble settings.
The Gibraltar Performer bridge offers reliable tuning stability and long-lasting sustain, while its low-positioned saddles ensure comfortable playability. Paired with the VT200 tailpiece, this setup maintains a classic aesthetic while enhancing performance, making the Ibanez PM3C an ideal instrument for both professional musicians and serious jazz enthusiasts.
