A symmetrical double-cutaway body with a Figured Bubunga top, Super 58 pickups and the Tri-sound switching system.

Anyone who knows their guitar history will tell you: Ibanez spent much of the 1970s in the role of the prodigious student—building copies that 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 proved Ibanez was hell-bent on standing shoulder to shoulder with the industry’s veterans.

Made of mahogany, just like the classics, the AR325 Artist’s symmetrical double-cutaway body style was a first in the production guitar world. But Ibanez’s biggest leap forward will continue to be appreciated by today’s player: the tri-tone switching system—a unique configuration that opens up the number of pickup/tone possibilities. But no matter what the setting, the Super 58s pack this axe with rich tonal palette. Gorgeous old school pearl/abalone block inlays make for a path back to one of rock’s most dynamic chapters.

      Comments about Ibanez AR325 Electric Guitar:

      This guitar has amazing attention to detail. Super quality construction. I had had high hopes it would have come with a slightly thicker more rounded neck(it 'is' rounded just not as much as I would have liked). This is not a flat neck by any means. The width nice. Not a slim tapered neck at all.

      My problem is with the sound. The sound is not nearly as fat as would have thought when considering it comes advertised as having the "Super 58" pickups. When I opened up the back plate there was the culprit... tiny little pots. Sorry, I just fail to comprehend how they could build such a beautiful guitar and cheep out on the pots? When I tried out the "Tri-sound" switches there was almost no audible difference?

      Bottom line: I will more than likely keep the guitar because it is so beautiful and the craftmanship so superior. However, it will need to have the electronics switched out.

      Comments about Ibanez AR325 Electric Guitar:

      This is a gorgeous instrument, but let's get the bad out of the way. Ibanez needs to work on their quality control. The first two AR325s I got had problems. One was missing a nut for the pickup switch; the second had a dent on the face that was actually finished over. The third was fine. The gold hardware really accents the finish. The body is not as thick or as heavy as the original Artists. The micro switches change from HB to single coil to series or parallel. Great value for the buck.

        Comments about Ibanez AR325 Electric Guitar:

        Just received this beauty last week and oh boy this is one of the best guitars I have owned. The bubinga top and Super 58's along with the tri-tone switching system gives you a plethora of tonal options. Just for clarification it is made in [*]no big deal!! I inspected the guitar from top to bottom no finish checks and the guitar came perfectly set up and the intonation was perfect as well.Great homage to the artist guitars of the 70's and 80's. Would buy again if I had to will be playing this one for a while.
