Top-shelf components and expert craftsmanship from Ibanez Japan





The Pat Metheny PM200 is built in Japan, where it all began for Ibanez. Their top luthiers put in the care and detail that has made their hollowbodies some of the most popular jazz guitars in the industry. Using choice tonewoods like a maple body, mahogany neck, and ebony fretboard, the Pat Metheny PM200 has everything you'd expect from a first-class instrument.





Fast and smooth neck, with Prestige fret-edge treatment





The mahogany neck on the Pat Metheny PM200 has Pat's signature neck profile, designed to give you effortless access to the entire fretboard. For even smoother playability, the PM200 has received Ibanez's Prestige fret-end treatment. This essentially rounds off the edges of the frets, making the bound ebony fretboard feel even more fluid.
