Ibanez PM3C-NAL Pat Metheny Signature
Product information "Ibanez PM3C-NAL Pat Metheny Signature"
The Ibanez PM3C-NAL is a synthesis of classic jazz guitar and contemporary, cool looks. Longtime Ibanez endorser Pat Metheny wanted a jazz guitar model with the legendary Charly Christian pickup. Ibanez responded by developing the PM Special—a historically accurate version of the legendary pickup with authentic sound. The PM3C is also a real highlight in terms of looks—the natural finish of the guitar harmonizes perfectly with the titanium gold hardware.

The Japanese instrument maker Ibanez can look back on a long tradition in guitar and bass construction. Although Ibanez initially made a name for itself with idiosyncratic copies of traditional models from makers like Gibson and Fender, its own series gradually emerged, such as the Iceman, JEM, Artcore and RG. In the 1980s the company became particularly well known in the heavy sector with instruments that stood out for their modern features, distinctive design and excellent playability. Innovations such as 7- and 8-string guitars, born from fruitful collaborations with artists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Meshuggah, further helped to establish Ibanez's strong reputation. Today the manufacturer offers an extensive range, from entry-level guitars and basses to exotic Custom Shop models. In addition, Ibanez also impresses in the field of effects and amplifiers, as the classic TS9 Tubescreamer proves. Here you'll find a comprehensive selection of guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects and accessories from Ibanez.
