Ibanez Used Ibanez AR520HFM (Violin Sunburst) [SN.4L220700086]

The AR (ARTIST) is a model with a long history among Ibanez guitars and has left many legends behind. With its arched-top double-cutaway body, set-in neck, two escutcheon-mounted humbuckers, and distinctive hardware, the AR series, with its fundamental structure, continues to be a model that carries on the Ibanez tradition and remains immensely popular with guitar fans around the world.

◆Chambered body construction This stage guitar retains the AR's body design, such as its outline and arch shape, but by adopting a chambered body structure, it achieves easy handling, a rich body resonance, and a warm sound.

◆Flamed Maple top
The body top is made of flame maple, which gives it an elegant and flowing impression. The body edge is decorated with abalone, and the multi-binding structure gives it a luxurious look.

◆Super'58 pickup with Tri-sound switch
It is equipped with the Super '58 pickup, which has been Ibanez's original pickup since the late 1970s and has earned a reputation among professionals.
This classic pickup offers a warm tone and excellent response. It uses an alnico magnet.
It is equipped with two mini switches called Tri-Sound Switches, which allow you to use the neck and bridge pickups in series, coil tap, or parallel wiring.

◆Jatoba wood fingerboard: A hard South Seas wood with a brown/reddish-brown wood surface and grain similar to that of quince and bubinga.
It is much harder than maple and has the same hardness as rosewood, making it suitable for fingerboards.

◆Gibraltar Performer Bridge Equipped with a Gibraltar Performer bridge that improves ease of use and tuning stability.
The saddle front/rear adjustment screw, which is usually located on the pickup side, is located on the tailpiece side.
The structure allows the driver to be inserted from the tailpiece side, making it easier to adjust the saddle forward and backward.

Quik Change Classic Tailpiece
It features a unique tailpiece shape that can be said to be an AR icon.
The slit at the top allows for quick and easy string changes.

◆Sure Grip III: The top of the knob, which is numbered (marked), is fitted with a rubber grip to prevent slipping, providing both ease of control and high visibility.

In terms of condition, there are a few small scratches, some tarnish on the parts, and a scratch on the headstock, but no deep scratches that would detract from its aesthetic. The frets are still about 70% tall, and there are no issues with the neck or electrical system, making this a guitar you can enjoy for years to come. With its small chambered body and luxurious appearance, this is definitely an opportunity to consider purchasing one!
