DESCRIPTION

A true blend of tradition and innovation, the Ibanez AR520HME honors the legacy of one of Ibanez’s first original designs while enhancing it with modern playability and sonic flexibility. The AR Series has long been cherished for its distinctive look, smooth playability, and expressive tone—and the AR520HME continues that heritage with pride.

The guitar’s semi-hollow body is crafted from a combination of Macassar Ebony top, Maple, and Okoume back, delivering a rich tonal palette that combines warmth, clarity, and articulation. The Macassar Ebony top emphasizes tight lows and mids with a strong, crisp high-end attack, while the Maple/Okoume pairing brings both brightness and depth.

The 3-piece Maple neck ensures long-term stability and resonance, while the Jatoba fretboard adds a touch of warmth and midrange richness. Medium frets offer precision and comfort for everything from complex chords to soaring leads.

What truly sets the AR520HME apart is its Super 58 pickups, known for their vintage warmth and balanced output. Paired with Tri-sound switches for each pickup, this guitar gives you three tonal options per humbucker—series, parallel, and coil-split—offering exceptional versatility to shape your sound for blues, rock, jazz, or fusion.

Hardware upgrades like the Gibraltar Performer bridge provide sustain and tuning stability, while the Quik Change Classic tailpiece makes restringing faster and hassle-free.

From studio work to live performance, the Ibanez AR520HME is a timeless instrument designed for players who demand tone, elegance, and unmatched flexibility.
