Ibanez PM3C demo and performance.

I took a chance on this guitar and am quite pleased with it. I looks and sounds very good to me and I think it can be a good working guitar especially for traveling and playing outdoors etc. thanks for watching.

My dear followers and supporters. There is absolutely nothing I can do to make my videos sound good on your phones tiny little internal speakers. Sorry. Please listen to my videos on good quality headphones or actual speakers. Thank you 😊

[@jeremyversusjazz]

Well, it sounds fine to me on my ipad spkrs but ill rewatch on my bigscreen w my original anthony gallo bi-amped (no sub woofer needed) speakers next time im in my living room!

[@shallyshal1]

Sounds awesome on my cell phone ..Sally agrees so that settles that issue

[@grantgre]

@@TimLerchGuitar did you have the tone control adjusted on the solo guitar?

[@leibniz72]

Without headphones I’d have missed hearing the cat meowing!

[@AdamLevyGuitarTips]

Yes!

[@RostillChristian]

Happy birthday Mr. Lerch!!!

[@MartinKünz-y2e]

Happy birthday🎉! All guitarists will understand that you sometimes you have to give yourself a little gift

[@pg123ab]

Great demo video Tim, I hope Sweetwater & Ibanez notice it.

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Folks are asking, I recorded both parts of the duet performance with a mic on my Princeton reverb. ( no mic on the guitar) simple as can be. Be sure to sign up for my free masterclass this Saturday Sept 7th “how to learn a standard” timlerch.com/workshop

[@ramonlealfrias8727]

Did you turned out the tone control? I really want to know if this is the guitars natural tone. I heard other demos and it sounds horrible and very trebly, not the sound you want to hear from a CC pick up.

[@stuartcoyle1626]

Happy Birthday! I turn 60 in a few days, I've convinced the wife that a new guitar is appropriate. Lets see what I get.

[@vecernicek2]

If you're into this guitar, also check out the Archtop Tribute Custom Barney Kessel model. Just sayin' ;-)

[@NoAntidoteMusic]

Great video, thanks ! Also important to know: Pat designed that a guitar with guitar maker Daniel Slaman from Netherlands who makes great guitars. Pat played the Slaman guitar from 2014 till 2020 on almost every gig. After that Ibanez made him a guitar which looked very much like that, especially the tailpiece and the picup of course.

[@ronaldcarlson7661]

Finally a good review of the Ibanez PM 3c. Thank you Tim.

[@HaErBeSo]

Totally agree with your opinion on how others review jazz guitars. Their demonstration and evaluation usually is not exactly how one should approach this. They seem to think that we all play rock/blues/heavy metal. The guitar and pickup configuration you review gets on my radar every now and then, but owning a (great) 1985 Ibanez LGB 30 leaves me with little left to desire (besides this, I got it from my wife so I’m a bit careful). Happy birthday!

[@Shovel-om7kn]

I certainly hear and see the beauty as well. Your playing soothes the beast very well. Semper Fi

[@Guitfiddlejase]

Good night Chesty.. Wherever you are.

[@Grindstaff09]

Yes, it's sounding and looking really good.

[@rooguitar]

Wow. You're the master Tim ! This is the perfect looking archtop. Sounds wonderful. It has in it a bit of the Pat Metheny tone. It can probably can play outside bebop jazz as well. I am sure many ppl with shop for this guitar after your video ! :)

[@shallyshal1]

I have bought myself waaaaaayyyy many presents. I always get me what I want Happy birthday, Tim

[@markyymarkXL]

Lovely demonstration, I didn't expect anything less when you played the demonstration at the end. Very warm, yet clearly articulate!

[@redbirdjazzz]

I was hoping we'd get a demo of this from you. Great stuff!

[@artneue]

Happy birthday! I Might buy myself a birthday present as well now, great review and playing :)

[@BrentStuder]

Thank you, Tim. I saw this guitar on Sweetwater, but couldn’t find any reviews or video clips. I’m still on the fence, but your honest appraisal and recordings were very helpful. I, too, think it looks stunning.

[@AdamLevyGuitarTips]

Happy (belated) birthday, Tim! 🎂

[@alejofar]

Thanks for making a proper review of this guitar! I've been thinking about getting one and this helps.

[@Rodney_T]

Happy birthday Tim! Thank you for being an inspiration!🎸

[@mickberry-mh6ul]

Thank you for this review, so honest and informative.

[@vbfgrtjs]

That sounds fantastic. Punches above it's weight.

[@sheercerebralpower]

Ordered mine for my birthday in November….will arrive on the 25th….which is my day🎉

[@toddwilliamson2651]

Happy bday! I am a proud owner of a PM2 AA that I absolutely ❤

[@jimhamilton_westernswing]

Thank you so much, Tim! I play in a traditional Western Swing band and was interested in this guitar for the Charlie Christian style pickup and price point for touring. This was a PERFECT demo video, and I really appreciate you playing a little rhythm passage so I could hear that sound. Cheers and happy birthday!

[@underground_man]

So glad you made a demo of this guitar and that you like it, Mr. Lerch! I also experienced a lack of appropriate demos, but you made the instrument sing. Happy birthday, by the way.

[@ScottfromBaltimore]

Happy birthday!

[@paul_bliven]

Hopefully one of many many more! Happy Birthday!

[@Total_DaveB]

I'm not a jazz player but I do love love love the aesthetic of the guitars. This new PM model just looks wonderful. So classy. And thank you, Tim, for showing us how wonderful it sounds.

[@andreasfetzer7559]

The sustain and openess is wonderful

[@Alan-zi2rs]

Happy birthday Tim all the best to you .. nice guitar and great playing 🎉

[@pharmerdavid1432]

What a beautiful guitar, and with Tim playing it sounds divine! The backs and sides are stained maple, not mahogany as Tim surmised from the color. The pickup seems to nail the CC sound we love. Play-on Maestro, and please keep the videos coming (congrats on another year too)!!

[@sheercerebralpower]

Belated Happy Birthday…love your playing Fellow Greene-ologist….

[@JackTheSkunk]

Even on my phone I can tell it has a fabulous jazz tone. Wish it had a gloss finish . Tim is one of my favorite players.

[@IanDOWSETT-yc5fx]

Sounds like a jazz guitar should..beautiful and mellow

[@Enrique-z6m]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!!!!!!!!! MAY YOU HAVE MANY, MANY, MANY MORE!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@andreasfetzer7559]

I recognize a special beautiful thing, there is a very clear, exact attac at the first milliseconds, which a lot of archtops lack.

[@arnieg65]

Thanks Tim, this is the 1st descent demo I've seen.

[@garethsigrist8714]

Happy birthday Tim! That PM3C looks really nice and sounds amazing in your hands! I noticed Pat had been playing a prototype of this model for a while and I was quite excited that Ibanez had finally released a production version complete with their version of a Charlie Christian pickup but you’re right, there doesn’t seem to be many demos of it out there. Not only have you got yourself a capable archtop to take on the road, you’ve also provided a fantastic product demonstration for the rest of us (and in fact, for Ibanez too!) so thank you. And happy birthday again.

[@davidaraujo927]

Thanks for this and happy birthday!

[@JazzSamurai]

Ibanez guitars are such workhorses! They never disappoint. I own too many guitars but almost always when I go to gig I pick up an Ibanez.

[@wolfgangh.4408]

Happy Birthday! Great Demo 👏🏼

Happy Birthday :) Thank you for the review and the great demo. I was so curious about this guitar that I ordered one a month ago. Unfortunately, it is still not available in my country.

[@gianlucapolitano3228]

Happy birthday Maestro!

[@Guitfiddlejase]

Well.. Happy Birthday Sir. Please keep it up..even if you do use roundwounds! LOL It's like what Mundy said on that old Hot Licks video..do you remember it? He said "we need you". ..and yes Tim, we need you.

[@robertblagg4718]

Great demo. Wonderful playing.

[@andreasfetzer7559]

Happy birthday, wonderful guitar

[@terrybradley8297]

Wow Tim. I can’t recall anyone playing the high register of the neck with such a great touch. Most players put too much downforce on the higher register E and B strings and it gets thin sounding. Great playing, keep it up.

[@fivewattworld]

Lovely playing on a real value instrument for the money.

[@Stevieboy130664]

Happy birthday, Mr L. Beautiful guitar.

[@ermitholabulilmi9944]

Happy Birthday Tim.. Wishes You and family all the best,Thank you for sharing this video 🙏

[@rodleaverton]

Great review, Tim. I've been really curious about this guitar; and as always, I truly appreciate your perspective. Beautiful playing!

[@neiles335]

The guitar sounds great, but then again Tim you could make a wire stapled to a broomstick sound good😊 Incidentally, according to Ibanez's website, this guitar top is laminated spruce, and the back and sides are maple , ( dark redish stain, satin finish throughout) Its made in Indonesia, and retails for $1599 usd or $2240cdn.

[@jeffd8597]

ES-150 was a laminate too!

Happy Birthday Tim! Love that guitar,sounds great!

[@jinjxmusic]

First of all - Happy Born Day, Tim and I thank you for your beautiful videos and music. Also, I've had my eye on this guitar from since they talked about it at NAMM this year. I reached out to Ibanez directly as well as a local shop trying to get my hands on one though no one had any real info. I know my local shop won't get one so it's nice hearing these sound beautiful. In the mean time I had one of my Ibanez guitars outfitted with a Pete Biltoft CC pickup. An internet buddy Nick Bachman set me straight that the bland eBay CC pickups don't cut it and to have Pete do the CC a bit overwound so that they hit the front of the amp more like the OG Charlie Christian pickups would back before amps were as efficient. He recommends high output/overwound CCs close to the strings. I have mine closer than normal though it's definitely a different sensation than playing a P90 or a PAF. I again thank you for actually being the right player to demo these - and now you're giving me GAS. LOL

[@toreilly100]

Happy Birthday Tim!! Have a great one buddy...Cheers!

[@markedid5818]

Happy Belated ! Just two weeks ago I gave myself an early bday present. Mines PRS, never had one but I really like it. Mine is from Sweetwater too. I have never bought a guitar without playing it but took a chance. One complaint, the tailpiece is a whammy and right where I rest the heel of my palm and I have whammyed it back while playing, it rest about 1/16 above the body I am going to lower it to flat, I 'll still have down whammy but not back. Have fun with the new guitar.

[@Chiller11]

Linda Manzer makes exquisite guitars. I’ve never owned one but I’ve seen a couple in the wild and ogled many online. Your Ibanez looks and sounds lovely. Congratulations and happy birthday 🎂.

[@murff625]

Happy Birthday Tim. Beautiful guitar. Mighty tasty playing.
