I have neveer seen this guitar either in fotos or on video. I am sure she had a deal with ibanez (who Metheny had a deal with as well) and this could just be ones she had as back ups. It lowers the value a lot for me. One of those Blondes would be really cool though. She always had multiple guitars for tunings in the later years. I saw her at a Gavin convention here in New Orleans and she had multiple acoustics with a tech tuning for her.
