The Ibanez AR520 is perfect for players who love the look of an Ibanez solidbody but want to infuse their sound with a touch of hollowbody character. This guitar features a chambered maple/okoume body with a carved maple top. Equipped with two Super 58 Custom humbuckers and Tri-sound electronics, the Ibanez AR520 delivers impressive tonal versatility. The hollowbody construction adds an airy quality, providing a unique sound that is hard to resist. The AR520 also includes a Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change Ultra tailpiece, ensuring long sustain and tuning stability. Additionally, the 3-piece maple neck and almost seamless neck heel offer excellent playing comfort.
The right tonewoods can significantly shape a guitar's sound. For the AR520, Ibanez has effectively combined okoume and maple. Okoume offers sustain and sonic complexity, which pairs beautifully with maple's bright high-end. The hollowbody construction enhances this rich sonic blend with an airy feel, resulting in a dynamic sound capable of soulful licks or powerful riffs when paired with your amplifier of choice.
The AR520 comes with a pair of Tri-sound switches, providing three different "voices" for each pickup. The Super 58 humbuckers can be configured in series, parallel, and single-coil modes, allowing you to explore a wide range of unique sounds. There's a vast tonal landscape to discover, and you'll enjoy experimenting with each configuration through your preferred amplifier or modeler.
The latest Ibanez guitars feature multi-ply necks, which are highly regarded by guitarists. These necks are incredibly rigid, requiring less maintenance and enhancing the transmission of string energy to the guitar's body. The 3-piece set maple neck on the AR520 adds clarity and detail to your performance, perfectly complementing the richness and depth of the body woods.
