Hollow Artist Series Guitar

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 AJ’s Music & The Music Man 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.

Okoume and maple deliver standout tone

The right tonewoods will set the stage for how a guitar sounds when it’s plugged in. And for the AR520, Ibanez used okoume and maple to great effect. The okoume’s sustain and sonic complexity pairs perfectly with maple’s brisk high-end. The hollowbody construction garnishes the rich sonic cocktail by adding an airy feel, resulting in a powerful sound that can serve up soulful licks or biting riffs when you match it up with the amplifier of your choice.

Sonic flexibility from Tri-sound electronics

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.

Ultra-playable 3-piece neck

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