Overview
Made of mahogany, just like the classics, the Ibanez Artist AR420 Electric Guitar features a symmetrical double-cutaway body style for classic looks, big tone and a great feel. Along with a three way pickup selector, the AR420 features the tri-tone switching system so you can choose from series, parallel and coil-tap for each pickup. The Super 58 humbuckers pack this axe with rich tonal palette. Gorgeous old school pearl/abalone block inlays make for a path back to one of Ibanez's and rock's most dynamic chapters.

I am new the the guitar players. Just started learning. But not a new musician. Was playing piano and keyboards/ organs for almost 30 years. Mainly blues, some jazz. Saying so I new what I wanted before i purchased this. I wanted fat and warm sound, aka LP has it. And I've got it. I think even more than that.
Beautiful body, the neck is just perfect. Fat , warm sounds. Just perfect. Especially for the price.
Musical Background:
30 years of playing keyboards, pianos, organs
Musical Style:
Blues, some Jazz, classic rock,
