The AR series is one of the classics among Ibanez guitars. As one of the company's first original designs, it has secured a firm place in guitar history over the years and remains a sought-after instrument to this day. The AR series proudly continues this legacy, combining classic style with modern playability. The three-piece maple neck provides rich resonance, while the jatoba fingerboard with its reddish-brown color delivers full midrange and clear highs. Medium frets support precise playing and clean articulation. The combination of a Macassar ebony top, okoume back, and maple body delivers a balanced sound: powerful mids, tight bass, and brilliant highs. Equipped with Super 58 pickups, the AR produces a vintage sound with moderate output that is suitable for both classic and modern playing styles. The Gibraltar Performer bridge guarantees rich sustain and reliable tuning stability, while the low-positioned string saddles offer high playing comfort. The Quik Change Classic tailpiece allows for quick and easy string changes. Two Tri-Sound switches expand the tonal possibilities by giving each humbucker three different sounds, significantly increasing the guitar's versatility. The Ibanez AR series is thus an instrument that perfectly combines classic charm, versatile sound, and excellent playability.
