The Ibanez AR520 is built for players who love the look of an Ibanez solidbody but want to add a dash of hollowbody character to their signal. 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 Sweetwater 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.

The AR520 is equipped with a pair of Tri-sound switches to unlock three different "voices" per pickup. Each of the Super 58 humbuckers can be used in series, parallel, and single-coil operation, opening the door for you to explore new and unique sounds. There's a lot of tonal territory to cover here, and you'll love exploring how each configuration sounds through your favorite amplifier or modeler.

The newest generations of Ibanez guitars have begun appearing with multi-ply necks, which is a massive improvement in the eyes of guitarists at Sweetwater. 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.
