I don't know if this interests you, Jack - but I thought I'd mention it in case you might consider it. There's a PM200 for sale now at Guitars 'n Jazz.

Good suggestion, but 2 different animals, both in tone, and feel. The PM200 has a much deeper body, and the single pickup gives it a different tone from the PM120 which is a two pickup guitar, so the tops vibrate differently. Also the PM200 has a different pickup design. The ebony bridge in the PM200 also makes it a bit darker etc..
Cheers,
Arnie..

Only one pickup and black, but lovely

There's one on eBay right now from a Canadian seller for $2500 (for some reason I'm having a hard time copying the link), looks like a better deal than anything else on reverb at the moment.
For what it's worth I owned a recent model PM 200 and even though it's a very well made guitar w/a good neck, it just didn't do it for me. Heavier than I expected, and the rims were well over 3", definitely too big for me. I also found it to be sort of lifeless sounding, for lack of a better way of saying it. I had a pick guard made for mine, I found I really needed one, may not bother everybody but definitely a big deal to me.
