Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain

Like the classics of yesteryear, the Ibanez AR620's Mahogany body features the first-of-its-kind symmetrical double-cutaway for easier access to the higher frets. Arguably, it is the biggest leap forward Ibanez made 40 years ago that will be most appreciated by today's player: the Tri-Sound switching system -- a unique pickup configuration control that pack this axe with a rich tonal palette. No matter what the setting, the 620's Super 80 "Flying Finger" pickups deliver smooth, warm, vintage sound that make this Artist a must for fans of classic rock tone. The 3-piece Maple set-in neck features a lavish pearl tree-of-life inlay, and is expertly joined to the body, finished with a baby-smooth heel. The AR620 is the true path back to one of rock's most dynamic chapters.

Hard shell case included.

The return of a legend -- the Artist is back! Anyone who knows their guitar history will tell you: Ibanez spent much of the 1970's in the role of the prodigious student -- building copies of the classics that ultimately exceeded the quality of the originals. They'd proven themselves quite capable, but would they ever make their own distinctive contribution to the guitar pantheon? The Artist was the first original Ibanez design to prove Ibanez was hell-bent on standing shoulder to shoulder with the industry's giants.

zZounds was very helpful; I like zZounds.. The AR620 is a nice guitar. Beautifully finished and appointed. With the tri-switches and the Super 80 pups, it will do all music styles. Beautiful pups; gorgeous sounds. But....the fret work is not up to Ibanez standards and will require a Luther's touch and added expense of 150-200 USD to even the frets and get the action low with no buzzes. Not the kind of fret work I expect from a hi value Ibanez guitar. Because of the poor fret work it deserves a lower ranking.
