The Ibanez PM3C NAL is distinguished by its semi-hollow construction, which combines a spruce top and maple sides for a warm and detailed sound. This design, developed for the Pat Metheny series, allows for optimal resonance and dynamic response, ideal for players looking for a pure and expressive tone.

Its three-piece nyatoh and maple neck, mounted, promotes increased stability and exceptional playing comfort. The ebony fingerboard, decorated with acrylic PM3C inlays, and the 305 mm radius facilitate smooth transitions and great precision in execution.

The medium frets with Artstar treatment offer a smooth performance, thanks to their carefully treated spherical surface that improves the smoothness of the play and the precision of the notes. This detail ensures smooth playability and a pleasant feel, essential for long playing sessions.

The special PM single coil pickup, designed specifically for the PM3C NAL, delivers a well-balanced jazz tone, faithful to Pat Metheny's preferences. Coupled with the Gibraltar Performer bridge and VT200 tailpiece, it offers remarkable tuning stability and excellent sustain, allowing players to maintain a precise and consistent tone.
