The Ibanez AR520HME-NT is an electric guitar from the AR series that combines the classic character of the Artist series with a lighter, more resonant construction thanks to its chambered body. Its Macassar ebony top, maple body with okoume back and sides, and a 3-piece set-in maple neck deliver a solid, defined response with good sustain. It features two passive Super 58 humbuckers with alnico magnets, renowned for their warm, vintage, and balanced tone, along with two Tri-Sound switches that greatly expand each pickup's tonal palette.
The Gibraltar Performer bridge, Quik Change Classic tailpiece, gold hardware, and Natural finish complete an elegant, versatile guitar that is very comfortable for blues, rock, fusion, or styles where a full-bodied sound, clarity, and personality are desired.
