Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.50% — somewhat different

The Gibson ES-335 Dot is a semi-hollow electric guitar featuring Gibson's classic double-cutaway design with a solid maple center block running through the body, combining the resonance of a hollow-body with the feedback resistance and sustain of a solid-body instrument. Named for its simple dot fingerboard inlays (distinguishing it from fancier ES-335 variants), it delivers the warm, articulate tone that made the platform a defining instrument in blues, jazz, and rock since its 1958 introduction.
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.
