Two Super 58 Custom humbuckers with Tri-sound electronics give the Ibanez AR520 undeniable tonal punch; Hollow body design adds airiness , creating sound that guitarists here just can't get enough of. The Ibanez AR520 also features a Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change Ultra tailpiece providing long sustain and tuning stability. Besides three-piece maple neck and a virtually non-existent neck heel provide unsurpassed playing comfort.

Okume and maple provide outstanding sound

The right choice of wood will set the stage for what does a guitar sound like when it is connected to the network. And for the AR520, Ibanez used okoume and maple to great effect. The sustain and complexity of the okume sound is ideally matched by the energetic top end of the maple. Hollow body design enhances the rich sound cocktail adding an airy feel that results in a powerful sound who can deliver soulful phrases or sharp riffs if you match it with the amplifier of your choice.
