New arrivals from July was pretty dead, but August is looking pretty fun.
An affordable pat metheny sig? And it also comes in black?

Same. Been in the market for a jazz box, and that one looks great and I've had good experiences with Ibanez's hollowbodies in my (incredibly limited) experience.
Just wish it didn't have Metheny's name on the fretboard, but otherwise it's perfect.

A chromeboy with a maple board? Stop being a tease Joe.
What amps am I seeing in the background there? I feel like I need to go back to SSO training for not knowing.
EDIT: 3rd Power, I skimmed over digital/plug in whatever and missed it.
Your mileage may vary with the Charlie Christian style pickup as well. It does a thing that is very different from the smokey Verve/BlueNote recordings of the 60s.

Dammit. I really want to want a q547, but that “bacteria floating in old jar of Barbicide” finish isn’t an improvement over chameleon matte.
Very cool to see affordable variants in the Metheny and Scofield lines, and I’m all for expanding the genesis lineup - now how about a Saber?

Not too worried about that. Not really all that married to the classic Blue Note jazz guitar tone. I quite like the CC pickups, at least in video. Tim Lerch makes them sound pretty good lol but he makes everything sound good.
A little variety never hurt anybody either.
It was just a heads up if this was your first archtop for jazz. Personally, I am not married to the thick, rolled back tones of what most jazz guys are going for either. The CC pickups are much brighter and clearer and that could be a surprise to people who are playing them for the first time. I would liken them more towards the floating mini-humbuckers of the Johnny Smith era.
Do the right thing.
What's up with those three screws/bolts in between the pickup and bridge? Are they for the pickup or some kind of reinforcement for a center block jazz boxes don't usually have?
$999 for a MIJ it’s still the best deal on the market. I wish there was a green one though…typical lol

www.lollarguitars.com The press photos make it look like the pm3c has a cutaway with lesser upper fret access in comparison to the pm200 though, so that could be something to consider. I could be wrong of course.
