I think what she was playing is an Ibanez Acoustic Electric. Around the time she was working with Metheny (who was a Ibanez Endorser at the time) is when I have seen the pics of her with this guitar. The Hejira recording was made before that association so no telling what it was. Maybe Fred Walecki knows.

I did give BMR a try on my 335 Gibson last night. The sound was quite close (to my ears). Has to be an acoustic electric of some sort. That Ibanez rings a bell, but I really thought Metheny was playing a Gibson on S&L. I will re-visit when and if I get my video back. Surely someone else has a copy, "non" ?
