This guitar has a chambered maple\/okoume body with a carved maple top. Two Super 58 Custom humbuckers with Tri-sound electronics give the Ibanez AR520 undeniable tonal tenacity; the hollowbody construction adds an airy quality, yielding a sound that guitarists here at Music Experience simply 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. Plus, the 3-piece maple neck and nearly non-existent neck heel offer supreme playing comfort.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOkoume and maple deliver standout tone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe right tonewoods will set the stage for how a guitar sounds when it's plugged in. And for the AR520, Ibanez used okoume and maple to great effect. The okoume's sustain and sonic complexity pairs perfectly with maple's brisk high-end. The hollowbody construction garnishes the rich sonic cocktail by adding an airy feel, resulting in a powerful sound that can serve up soulful licks or biting riffs when you match it up with the amplifier of your choices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSonic flexibility from Tri-sound electronics\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe AR520 is equipped with a pair of Tri-sound switches to unlock three different \"voices\" per pickup.

Multi-ply necks are ultra-rigid, which means they need less maintenance and help transmit string energy to your guitar's body more efficiently. The 3-piece set maple neck on the AR520 adds clarity and detail to your performance, which balances nicely with the richness and depth of the body woods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Ibanez Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe AR is a classic among Ibanez guitars.
