A world-class guitarist rarely asks a brand for cheap versions of his own signature model… just to turn them into sculptural artworks. However, that's exactly what Pat Metheny enjoys doing in his free time – the little he has between launching a record label, Uniquity Music, and releasing a new album, Side-Eye III+, that is.
“I get Ibanez to send me these cheap, $400 PM35s, the budget version of my signature model, and tell them not to put any finish on them,” the guitarist recently told Prog. “Then I set about them with a wood burner in various ways.”
