An Heir to Ibanez's Legendary Artist Series
The AR320 follows in the footsteps of the Artist models that marked Ibanez's history since the late 1970s. With its elegant double cutaway, meticulous craftsmanship, and versatile electronics, it continues this spirit: a professional, reliable guitar designed for both stage and studio.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Versatile and comfortable, the AR320 suits intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an electric guitar that excels in blues, jazz, classic rock, soul, funk, and pop. The Tri-sound switches also allow exploration of more modern sounds by offering textures close to single-coil or tighter parallel tones.
The Sound
The Super 58 pickups deliver a warm and articulate response, with rounded lows, singing mids, and silky highs. In series position, you get dense sustain for leads and classic rock. The parallel mode tightens the spectrum for funky and precise rhythms, while the split mode provides a clarity almost like a "single-coil," ideal for arpeggios and dynamic playing. The okoumé body adds bite and projection, while the Gibraltar Performer bridge optimizes attack and note sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
A set of nickel strings 10-46 for balanced attack/sustain, a quality strap with secure locks, a straight/flat jack cable for reliable stage wiring, and a padded electric guitar gig bag to protect the instrument during transport.
