Ibanez working on new Metheny model with CC?

[campusfive]

seymour duncan makes an accurate cc, as well as cc pickups uk

Seymour Duncan made. Made, past tense. The no longer offer it, and it was essentially a custom order even when they did.

But also, +1 for the fact that the big magnet plate CC pickups are the only real thing.

I read something recently (although I can't find it now) where Pat said that he spends a lot of time setting up his Slaman before every gig and plans to continue using his Ibanez because it's much more stable. I imagine that this is the result: he's got Ibanez to make him a guitar that sounds like the Slaman but needs less day-to-day maintenance.

Pat’s Slaman while sounding fine when it was just him or he and Antonio, as soon as keys and/or bass came in, the guitar while not “lost” in the mix, was diminished to the point that it required more concentration from the listener to really hone in on it. Given that solid spruce guitars are generally brighter than laminates as well as CC pickups being single coils and crisper than humbuckers, I can’t figure out WHY this would occur. Shouldn’t you expect the opposite?

This came up on Facebook this morning



Is that a Kemper head?

Is that a Kemper head?

Yes, he's been using the Kemper for a couple of years now. You can see its foot controller next to the Roland synth unit.

[DS71]

I see an SWR cabinet, any idea what monitors he's using there?

They look like Yamaha DXR12s.

The reflections off the "bumps" of the top make me suspect that the PMCC-no prizes for naming creativity- has a laminated maple top. It looks like it is built upon the same body as the PM200 with a fancy metal tailpiece and 3-point mount CC Blade pup.

It seems to be a copy of slaman's project for me...same shape and junction of neck and body...and look at that weird head with different upper and lower cuts (photo 2)... ps: stolen Instagram photos

[Cunamara]

Any idea what's sticking out of and taped to the tailpiece?

[wintermoon]

Slaman’s PM Sister guitar is not an ES-250 clone. It’s 16” not 17”, and has a Venetian cutaway as opposed to no cutaway. Plus the inlays are picture frame like a 1930s L-7 vs. the 250’s bow ties.

It’s a mix of Gibson attributes obviously, but it’s not an ES-250.

don't forget that the second version ES-250 circa had picture frames as opposed to open books.

His lucky mojo charcoal bristled toothbrush???

It appears to be a support to drape his two guitars cables over.

It is a toothbrush. The strap button in his guitar fell and he used it instead. He didn’t bother to change it then it became part of his image.

I believe the attachment to the tailpiece is there to support the separation of the two cables

I took another pic trying to capture the guitar. He had 2 1/4 inch cable one for the pickup and one for a mike in the f hole. During there duets he switched to a convincing acoustic sound during the bass solos on some of the songs sorry of it comes out sideways i havent mastered jgf yet posting pics

[matthewryu]

Hopefully a new signature model?
looks really great! (photos from instagram)

[Gitfiddler]

Metheny always looks like he is having the time of his life when playing. I've seen him live and he's the real (happy) deal.

[matthewryu]

Found this on the net (not my caption, don't mind it). Sure looks like Ibanez is trying to keep Metheny playing Ibanez guitars, and might be working on a guitar based off of Pat's Slaman? Anyone seen anything about this?

who's instagram account was that?

[Gabor]

No trace of miccrophone on this caption.

How can we guess which type of mic' will be installed ? Not necessarily a CC...

Cheers

The shape of the hole implies at least it will not be a humbucker.

the shape implies it is a CC type
and the three mounting screw holes ...

and the the below pictures are of a 'PMCC'

might be a one off for Pat ...
I hope it goes into production though
I want one
