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 😊
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!
Thanks Tim! This is what I was looking for; a proper demo and you never fail to deliver! Thanks to you, I just ordered one a few minutes ago. Sweetwater, if you are watching this, you owe this man a debt of gratitude for taking the time to feature this guitar! Cheers!
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
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.
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 ! :)
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!
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.
What a joy to see the passion for music, guitar and jazz on your face! It's contagious to see someone with such a good and positive attitude. Thank you very much for your review! It sounds great!
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.
I didn’t know the product and I took a look. It sounded fabulous but the price point is far beyond the Pat Matheny tribute one which is not comparable unfortunately for me...
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.
Thanks ! 👍 I just received this guitar today, it is really fantastic. Light, ergonomic, with a very pleasant neck. And especially the accuracy and balance of the sound that really struck me.
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.
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!
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)!!
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.
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.
Happy birthday Tim - thanks for so many great videos, guitar instruction books, tips, demos and just for being you. (I liked the voice of your cat in the background!)
You absolutely answered all my questions,,, I want one of these now, but I also bought myself a birthday present on my last birthday, a D'Angelico Excel 1 , a great inexpensive acoustic archtop with the same kinda idea something that I can gig with without worrying about,so I probably should wait before I dive into another purchase lol
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.
a belated happy birthday, Tim. That DOES look and sound like a perfect gigging axe. You won't feel like jumping off a bridge if something untoward happens to it. Nice solo on Angel Eyes (the changes were pirated by Leon Russel and it became This Masquerade- The original lyrics (by Matt Dennis in 1943) are much hipper and literate, IMHO.) Really enjoy your playing and your personal theater. I saw/heard you do a blues tune live once-really good.
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.
happy 21st! glad you can finally drink ;) beautiful guitar & tone (reminds me of GVE's tone on his solo albums, e.g. Soliloquy). Someday, I would love to see you play jazz on a flying V, just for kicks
Really like satin finish guitars...I think they're more resonant....at least to my ear. Enjoy this beautiful birthday gift guitar ! p.s...I love and use the D'Addario 11-50 flats.
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.

Sounds awesome on my cell phone ..Sally agrees so that settles that issue
@@TimLerchGuitar did you have the tone control adjusted on the solo guitar?
Without headphones I’d have missed hearing the cat meowing!
Yes!
Happy birthday Mr. Lerch!!!
Thanks Tim! This is what I was looking for; a proper demo and you never fail to deliver! Thanks to you, I just ordered one a few minutes ago. Sweetwater, if you are watching this, you owe this man a debt of gratitude for taking the time to feature this guitar! Cheers!

I certainly hear and see the beauty as well.
Your playing soothes the beast very well.
Semper Fi
Good night Chesty..
Wherever you are.
Yes, it's sounding and looking really good.
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 ! :)
Happy birthday🎉! All guitarists will understand that you sometimes you have to give yourself a little gift
Happy birthday Tim! Thank you for being an inspiration!🎸

WOW... That first strum sounded delicious
😄... great find... Happy belated and enjoy the tones🎂👍👍!!!

Finally a good review of the Ibanez PM 3c. Thank you Tim.
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.
If you're into this guitar, also check out the Archtop Tribute Custom Barney Kessel model. Just sayin' ;-)
I didn’t know the product and I took a look. It sounded fabulous but the price point is far beyond the Pat Matheny tribute one which is not comparable unfortunately for me...
Happy birthday Tim all the best to you .. nice guitar and great playing 🎉
Lovely demonstration, I didn't expect anything less when you played the demonstration at the end. Very warm, yet clearly articulate!
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.
Nice. I've been curious about this model. Very helpful video.
Thanks ! 👍 I just received this guitar today, it is really fantastic. Light, ergonomic, with a very pleasant neck. And especially the accuracy and balance of the sound that really struck me.
Happy Birthday! Great Demo 👏🏼
Linda Manzer, in an interview, said that a lower arch creates more sustain along with other advantages that I can't recall.
The sustain and openess is wonderful
Thanks for making a proper review of this guitar! I've been thinking about getting one and this helps.
Great demo video Tim, I hope Sweetwater & Ibanez notice it.
Happy Birthday, Tim. You have brought a lot of joy and shared a lot of music with us on TH-cam over the years. A life well lived . 🌹
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.
Ordered mine for my birthday in November….will arrive on the 25th….which is my day🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!!!!!!!!! MAY YOU HAVE MANY, MANY, MANY MORE!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was hoping we'd get a demo of this from you. Great stuff!
Happy birthday Maestro!
Happy (belated) birthday, Tim! 🎂
Thanks for all your work, Tim. Always great to see and hear you play!
Happy Birthday! Awesome present! 🎉
Thanks for this and happy birthday!
Hopefully one of many many more! Happy Birthday!

Belated Happy Birthday…love your playing Fellow Greene-ologist….
Love the guitar and sound, plus your incredible playing
That sounds fantastic. Punches above it's weight.
Thanks Tim for the demo. Appreciate it.
The guitar sounds great, but then again Tim you could make a wire stapled to a broomstick sound good😊

Happy birthday Tim - thanks for so many great videos, guitar instruction books, tips, demos and just for being you. (I liked the voice of your cat in the background!)
The Ibanez is perfect!
Happy birthday!
Sounds like a jazz guitar should..beautiful and mellow
Happy birthday Tim! Hope you have a lovely one
Many happy returns of the day Mr. Lerch!

Wishes You and family all the best,Thank you for sharing this video 🙏
Happy birthday Tim, love your new blues book. Thanks!
I recognize a special beautiful thing, there is a very clear, exact attac at the first milliseconds, which a lot of archtops lack.
Happy birthday! ... and thanks for doing a proper demo on this very interesting new guitar. Your playing sounds wonderful as always :-)
Happy birthday Tim! Cool guitar.
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.

Happy birthday, Mr L. Beautiful guitar.
Lovely playing on a real value instrument for the money.
Happy birthday!
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.
Happy Birthday ! Very nice !
Happy birthday 🎂
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.
Happy Birthday, Sir!
Happy Birthday! I've had my eye on the PM3C since it came out. Thanks for the demo.

Thank you nice looking guitar
Hbd Tim!
great job mister Tim, very nice review, thank you
Hi Tim, Great-sounding birthday present! Hope you get back out to Vashon again soon.
@@amkaplan I’ll be at the Palouse winery on Vashon Island this coming Saturday
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.
