I just found this picture of Pat Metheny playing what I thought was an Artist 2618, however the picture says Pat Metheny Artist Series AR112 AV. The picture is kind of blury, so I though it as a 6 string. I'm not sure if somebody has posted this pic before, but here it is.   Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, October 19, 2007 - 3:47 am:    We've covered this before. The guitar in the photo is a 2618-12. 2618-12: Suregrip Knobs, Flying Fingers pickups, and 24 frets. AR112: Suregrip II's, Super 58's, and 22 frets. The position of the bridge in relation to the controls is a dead give away. Less noticeable is the distance between the pickups. Not obvious from the photo is the Ebony fretboard. AR112's have Rosewood. The caption is wrong.

He used it very briefly at the beginning of the concert. I think he used a slide to get some spacey sounds from it.   Fontadoni Username: Fontadoni Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 2:59 pm:    Thanks for the link Johns. I added some John Abercrombie pics... It's good to know Metheny kept this axe. Do you know if he has any other Artists?
