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.

1979 - 1982
