The Gibson ES-330 is a semi-hollow body electric guitar delivering bright, cutting tone ideal for rhythm and jazz. Its center block construction controls feedback while preserving resonance. The ES-330 appeals to players seeking semi-hollow character.
The Ibanez PM120 Pat Metheny Signature is a semi-hollow 16-inch thinline jazz guitar with a unique double-cutaway design, hand-wound Silent 58 humbuckers based on sought-after MIJ Super 58s with Alnico V magnets, and a 24-3/4-inch scale. The neck pickup delivers dark jazz tones without muddiness, the bridge pickup produces bright cutting tones, and the shallow 2-inch body feels more comfortable than full-depth boxes while retaining resonance. The 1-3/4-inch nut width and extended upper frets via double cutaway suit expressive jazz and fusion playing.
