Pat Martino
Pat Martino creates distinctive sounds that embody thoughtful energy and soul. As a musician, philosopher, and artist, Martino’s pioneering spirit has influenced jazz musicians around the world. That same spirit has inspired the Pat Martino Signature Model. Featuring appointments aimed at tone and playability, this instrument reflects the exciting combination of Gibson’s legendary design with Pat Martino’s soulful style.
 
I'm sure I'd make due with it, even if it likely costs way too much.
It would look great without the gold hardware.
 
Soulful style must be marketing speak for "plays the same riff 10,000 times in a row." I can't listen to the guy.
 
I'll take it. Would make a nice beater guitar after I use a Dremel to rub off the gold plating and spray paint the body black.
 
I'm not into blingy guitars, but this one works for me.

At the right price? Would without protection :embarrassed:.
 
I like this one better, even though it still has the gold H/W. $3299 is the average eBay price. :annoyed:

My favorite stomping grounds (Cream City Music ) had a sunburst Pat Martino last year. Other than it's price it was a nice sounding and playing guitar. It also looked kind of cool to me. It's kind of like a semi-hollow version of the Gibson L5S Pat played back in the 70s.
