About This Listing

Ibanez AR500 I believe is the mode. This Artist Guitar is in fair condition. The electronics work only in passive pickups mode and not active mode. The binding on the guitar as shown on pictures has some deterioration due to age. I’m pretty sure that can be fixed. Over all it’s an amazing guitar does have an ebony fret board, it’s feels amazing and has very high quality feel. Please message me if you have any questions first before buying that way we can be clear of its flaws. A hardshell case will be included. Thank you, ~JC

Product Overview
The Ibanez Artist series kicked off in the mid-'70s as part of the Japanese company's efforts to build more original designs rather than just copying American guitars. The AR models were Les Paul-like in their construction featuring two humbuckers and a Mahogany body with a set neck. The AR-500 was set apart by its inclusion of an onboard EQ circuit. 

Years of Production: 
1979 - 1982

Wood Composition: Mahogany body, Maple top

Design Elements: Two humbucker pickups, block inlays, set neck, three volume control knobs, three-band EQ
