The New Ibanez Pat Metheny PM3C Model

Since nobody asked. If it was 25” or 25.5” scale I’d have bought it.

I checked out a few more Mikko Hilden videos and I like listening to him as a player; I'd say he has very "wholesome" phrasing and the impression is that he has chops as a teacher. Anyway, seems he can't stop playing his PM3, sounds really good.

Just wanted to say that I've just bought a PM3c Black from Peach Guitars in Colchester. Played it through my DVMark Little Jazz and have no issues with it whatsoever. I'm not a big fan of flatwounds but as the guitar sounds so good with the factory fitted ones I'll probably stick with them when they need changing. The pickup doesn't sound thin as has been suggested. The neck is really comfortable as I have small hands. A small point but the fitted case is superb.
Since writing the above I found the factory fitted D'Addarios not to my liking and have changed them for Thomastik JS111 11-47. A far better balance and a great improvement.

Is the 3&3/4" depth of the PM3C at the bridge or at the rim?

From the Ibanez website:

C = maximum depth of the guitar
