Ibanez AR420-BMG Electric Guitar in Black Mirage Gradation

The Ibanez AR420-BMG is a solid-body electric guitar that continues the legacy of Ibanez's classic AR Series while incorporating modern playability features. This double-cutaway instrument combines vintage-inspired design with contemporary functionality, making it suitable for various musical styles from jazz and blues to rock and fusion. Its carved top construction and set-in neck provide both visual appeal and practical performance benefits for players seeking a versatile instrument. The guitar features an Okoume body topped with a visually striking Flamed Maple veneer, finished in a Black Mirage Gradation gloss polyurethane. The 3-piece maple neck offers enhanced stability and resonance, paired with a jatoba fingerboard that provides a rich midrange response. Hardware includes a Gibraltar Performer bridge with low-profile saddles for tuning stability and comfort, along with a Quik Change Classic tailpiece that simplifies string changes. The medium frets and 12-inch fingerboard radius create a comfortable playing surface suitable for both chord work and lead playing. Electronically, the AR420-BMG is equipped with dual Super 58 humbuckers, known for their moderate output and vintage-voiced character that delivers warm cleans and articulate overdrive tones. Each pickup has its own Tri-Sound switch, providing three distinct tonal modes per humbucker that range from full humbucking sounds to brighter single-coil style textures. This configuration, combined with separate volume and tone controls for each pickup, offers extensive tonal flexibility without needing to switch instruments. The guitar comes strung with D'Addario EXL110 strings (.010-.046 gauge) and includes a hex wrench for adjustments.
