Up for sale, a 1996 Ibanez Pat Metheny signature model PM100 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. The original signature model for Jazz guitarist and composer Pat Metheny, the PM100 has a body shape evocative of Gibson's Barney Kessel and Tal Farlow models, featuring all maple body construction and a one-piece mahogany neck capped with a 22 fret ebony fingerboard.

Featherweight at 6lbs 15oz, this Ibanez has a smooth, airy acoustic tone, with the immediacy and glassy attack of the maple and ebony tonewoods. The single neck position Super 58 alnico magnet humbucker is ideal for complex chording and sweet, singing lead work, all with exquisite clarity. This PM100 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 flatwound strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
