When it comes to tour-grade gear, reliability is everything, and Ibanez spared no effort in this department when crafting the AR Standard AR420. A set-neck provides increased sustain capabilities, while the 3-piece neck construction delivers essential onstage support. In fact, the increased dimensional stability of this construction method drastically increases the guitar’s structural resilience, mitigating risks of twisting or warping with far greater proficiency than a 1-piece neck. A 24.75-inch scale complements the fretboard’s 12-inch radius, and an extra-speedy AR neck profile, along with the guitar’s distinctive double-cut design, guarantees confident playability and unfettered accessibility to all 22 frets. What’s more, the Gibraltar Quik Change tailpiece makes string swapping a breeze, without sacrificing sustain or tuning security, meaning that you’re taking the stage with ample peace of mind in tow every time.
