Linda Manzer / Pat Metheny Signature 6 Limited Edition / 2016 / Guitar For Sale
Linda Manzer Pat Metheny Signature 6 Limited Edition 2016
German Alpine Spruce Top, Indian Rosewood Back & Sides
Mint Condition
Pure Effect Music are very pleased to make available from the "Private Collection" Linda Manzer’s 21st (of 30) Pat Metheny Signature 6 Limited Run from 2016. Set up with Indian Rosewood back and sides plus German Spruce top, as well as many of the ergonomic features Metheny uses on his own Manzers. There’s the namesake Manzer Wedge and Venetian Cutaway, and added to that we have a groove carved into the heel, coupled with a thumb rest on the bass side, to coax the player’s left hand just a smidge closer to those uppermost frets.
The inlays across the headstock and fretboard are matched with the orange Calton flight case, and each of these 30 guitars is inlaid in a pattern unique to this run. The inlays were executed in conjunction with master inlay artist Mark Kett. Further, Linda used Copper for the side dots, and inlaid a Diamond at the 7th fret dot to boot. Linda also collaborated with Tony Duggan-Smith for the final setup and fretwork on each. Additionally, #21 features a remarkable sounding CP-1 “Eric” Carlos Juan pickup system.
