Meet the "Pikasso" Guitar!

[@YoshiTRoN1]

It’s so weird seeing a video of Pat Methenys guitar and seeing comments of people who have no idea who he is

[@nel1962]

For real! This guitar is synonymous with Pat.

[@danniestardust2879]

Just saw him last night. He gets better and better

[@terrybuggs4004]

Amazing how Pat is able to create and develop newer sounds - reshaped 'Jazz'.in ways we'll likely never see again

[@clicks59]

Pat’s probably the only person that can play it.

[@ProsperousMonkey]

Someone call Rob Scallon!

[@imhere8380]

hahaha :)

[@awesomeyakuza211]

This seems like the kind of guitar Luca Stricagnoli would play.

[@imhere8380]

Didn't the great Luca play something similar to this, a few years back?

[@jadensmith4607]

Facts lol

[@Nza420]

I am mad at myself for having to hit the bathroom while he played this in Clearwater on March 21st. At least I wasnt fool enough to leave before the four encores.

[@terrybuggs4004]

What an artist...phenomenal musician ❤

"That looks very Pat Met... of course it is. Who else would play it."

Amazing

[@mcmanustony]

not quite the only one on earth. Scott Chinery commissioned Linda to make a second Pikasso with no pickups and more inlay. Now owned by a collector. She also made a 36 string archtop version with a soprano, fretless 6 string neck in place of the top 12 on Pat's.

[@SonnyDee1999]

They’re selling it on reverb rn for eighty-thousand dollars!

[@mcmanustony]

@@SonnyDee1999 The Chinery one, yes. I played it a few months ago in Woodstock. The archtop 36 string lives with me. It's an amazing work of musical art.

[@catvoncrimson666]

It’s the portable version of resonant chamber from animusic!

[@geneclemetson4779]

Hey, Andre, it's me Gene!

[@ben-jam-in6941]

I bet he just loved the day that thing showed up for him to keep in tune and holy crap it might not get played a lot but it will need re-stringed from time to time. And here I am such a light weight that I traded off a nice Alvarez ? or was it a Takamine ? 12 string acoustic because I loathed keeping it in tune and that was just for myself and possibly when my band played acoustic shows every month or two.

[@davidault1931]

That is truly a work of art, totally awesome...DMAdeadmanarisen

[@darthbinks9872]

Have fun tuning that

[@rcjoe406]

What's more impressive is the bracing hwy that must be under that top

[@benkoi8310]

Someone told me, he was tuning that for 24 hours before this video was taken.

[@joaomoreno3381]

I know you’re joking but it actually takes approximately 20 minutes

[@jamesbomar3903]

Forces on that sound board could tear our universe apart in the wrong hands. This device must be guarded 24/7

[@CHWBAKA450]

Nice to see this. I have one question, if anyone can update me… Did Caroline retire?

[@drummerflex]

Andre has been Pat's guitar tech for about two years, and Carolyn trained him. It would seem like Carolyn retired, at least retired from touring. She toured with Pat for almost 40 years! She's probably in her early 60s now. I hope she's staying well.

[@percyvolnar8010]

That guitar is going to collapse from string tension. You can see the wood on the face curling. I am a luthier and I hope Pat sends that back to Linda so she can add the needed additional bracing for the face.

[@ArseAllowance]

Thats what i thought, you can see splitting below the main bridge Thats kinda sad

[@percyvolnar8010]

@@ArseAllowance Yup. That guitar is poorly braced.

[@rossferguson9653]

Damn it is, such a shame. One of the most unique and beautiful sounding guitars I've ever heard

[@mcmanustony]

@@ArseAllowance It's 40 years old and has been gigged relentlessly. The guitar is maintained regularly and the "crack" isn't going anywhere.

Nice but its starting to crack at the lower bout ..bummer.

[@drummerflex]

Don't worry, this guitar is well taken care of. It has seen a lot of use, repair and modifications (there was originally another headstock for the vertical strings down the middle). Pat has been using this guitar almost 40 years, and he has been touring with it consistently since 1997.

[@michaelvaladez6570]

@drummerflex Yes I've seen him play this very incredible instrument. I've seen the Pat Metheny Group many times , sorry to say I've missed him with his new group and his solo tour. Keep the faith 🙏.

Why? Pat’s been using it since the 70s…if anyone can create a masterpiece with the Picasso, it would be the man that has played it regularly for 50 odd years or more. lol. To date, Pat said he’s cranked out 53 albums. Can Ichita Nito say the same? I do have Nito’s signature guitar btw…but I use it with Pat’s tunes. 😄

[@Southboundpachyderm]

Its a big mistake to not be trying to get this guitar into production. Even if it costs 5 grand, this is an instrument that NEEDS to be in the hands of more guitarists. The strain on that body must be insane though. You can even see how it's cracking the top shell, but I'm sure that could be solved by more robust supports in the body, though it would definitely reduce resonance which might be a trade off not worth it on an instrument like this. I'm even more curious how they mic this bad girl up and what kind of signal chain they're running it through. PLEASE make this guitar availablee somewhere for sale. I NEED this. lol.

[@mcmanustony]

5 grand? Are you serious? Linda’s guitars start at around $20,000 and this is NOT where they start. A guitar like this would be in six figures easily.

Играть на этом монстре не надо. Просто вышел на сцену, провёл 21 пальцем по струнам и достаточно. Толпа в экстазе. Звёздный успех обеспечен на все 💯.🎉
