Pat did a concert at the Pollak Theater in NJ in 2019 and was seen sporting a new Ibanez Model (not in production) but looked like something Pat would design or play.
I have no idea weather Ibanez will put this out in the future, it's the basic 16" design that Pat plays with a CC pickup and an fancy tailpiece. Very Nice!!!
Cheers,
Arnie..

Any idea what the thing sticking out of the f-hole is? I'm stumped.

I see you also found the other thread. Seems like a working mans version of the Sisterhood guitar that Slaman built for him that he was gigging when I saw him in 2016. I'm guessing this rubbed Ibanez the wrong way and so they stepped up and made a version of that with their name on the headstock
I suspect it's never going to hit production. I mean, it's not unusual to for Ibanez endorsed artist to have one off guitars that never see the stores. Paul Gilbert has made their custom shop make all sorts of one off guitars for him.

I don't doubt that Ibanez might put that guitar in production in the near future. It would be the the fifth PM model, George Benson has the GB10, GB20, GB30, GB12, GB5, GB100, GBJS, GB200, and newer LGB30 and LGB300. So I don't see it out of the normal for Pat to have a 5th model. An income is an income...

The pickup, from The Creamery in Manchester UK, previously referred to by Rob McKillop (Another Charlie Christian pickup to consider), has been burning a hole in my work bench since I acquired it in August. Originally ordered to fit to a Godin Composer, which had moved on by the time the pandemic-delayed pickup had arrived, I was looking around for a single humbucker archtop on which to fit it, without paying out too much. The PM35 came up on eBay last week and as it was actually NOS - a previously unsold demo model being moved on by the shop owner via eBay - it was a very good price and indeed when it arrived, it was in new condition despite being at least 8 years old.
The pickup swap was easy and thankfully, also easy to reverse, because although the CC installation provided a pleasing jazz tone, I actually preferred the original Ibanez pickup. In fact, I am quite smitten by the PM35 with its stock pickup. I prefer this model to the more recent (but now seemingly discontinued) PM2. It has a larger body (16.5" vs 15.75") and a more subtle finish to the natural maple body. It has more sustain than I have ever experienced on an archtop giving it a more modern vibe than my Eastman AR380. The Ibanez seems to be a keeper whilst the CC pickup may find its way into a future partscaster project.

I like his guitar sound from late 80s onward, which I suppose is the Ibanez and stereo amps.
Looking at that photo I can see why he wouldn't bother restoring that.
He has nice new guitars to play!

And...Ibanez pays him and Gibson didn’t)))

It’s all gone quiet on the PM25

I knew Pat back when he lived in Cambridge, before his solo career began. In fact, I took a lesson with him when I was 18. During a gig he played at “Club Zircon“ in Somerville, someone yelled out, “Why the toothbrush?“
Without hesitation, Pat replied, “...promotes good oral hygiene!“
Years later, I talked to Pat about seeing him play at Club Zircon and he said, “I remember- it was three dollars to get in, and people complained about the price!"
