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.53% — moderately similar

The Ibanez AS200 is the top of the AS semi-hollow line, with a maple centre block running through a bound body to control feedback, a set neck, and Super 58 humbuckers. John Scofield has played one almost exclusively since the early 1980s, and the centre-block construction is why it holds together at gain levels a fully hollow archtop could not.
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.
