Ibanez AR520HME Electric Guitar - Natural
The Ibanez AR520HME Electric Guitar represents one of Ibanez’s most enduring and respected original designs. As part of the iconic AR series, this model continues a legacy that dates back to the brand’s earliest innovations, blending timeless aesthetics with refined modern craftsmanship. Finished in Natural, the AR520HME showcases its premium tonewoods with understated elegance, making it as visually striking as it is sonically versatile.
Built with a strong 3-piece Maple neck and a bound Jatoba fretboard, the AR520HME delivers excellent stability, smooth playability, and articulate note definition. A Macassar Ebony top paired with a Maple body and Okoume back produces a balanced tonal character with tight lows, focused mids, and clear highs. Equipped with dual Super 58 humbuckers, this guitar offers warm, vintage-inspired tones, while dual Tri-Sound switches expand each pickup into three distinct voicings for exceptional tonal flexibility. The Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change Classic tailpiece ensure solid sustain, tuning stability, and effortless restringing.
