Hey there guys. I just found this picture of Pat Metheny playing what I thought was an Artist 2618, however the picture says Pat Metheny Artist Series AR112 AV. The picture is kind of blury, so I though it as a 6 string. I'm not sure if somebody has posted this pic before, but here it is.

We've covered this before. The guitar in the photo is a 2618-12. 2618-12: Suregrip Knobs, Flying Fingers pickups, and 24 frets. AR112: Suregrip II's, Super 58's, and 22 frets. The position of the bridge in relation to the controls is a dead give away. Less noticeable is the distance between the pickups. Not obvious from the photo is the Ebony fretboard. AR112's have Rosewood. The caption is wrong. The Bear |

Fontadoni: Here's a link to the message that Mr_Roadstar is referring to: http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/cgi-bin/discus/sho w.cgi?tpc=17&post=6914#POST6914 I actually got to see Pat play this 12 string the last time I saw him. He used it very briefly at the beginning of the concert. I think he used a slide to get some spacey sounds from it. |

Thanks for the link Johns. I added some John Abercrombie pics... It's good to know Metheny kept this axe. Do you know if he has any other Artists? |
