Ibanez AR250 Electric Guitar (Honey Sunburst)

zZounds Gear Experts Say...

2 humbuckers. Flamed Maple top.

Overview

Twenty-five years after its debut, the Artist is still the more comfortable, more affordable, and just plain smarter alternative to the "other" classic 2-humbucker Mahogany guitar. If that isn't enough, Artist Series guitars are fitted with far superior hardware.

Features
AR neck

Flamed Maple Top/Mahogany Back: Mahogany provides rich, warm lows and sweet sustain. The Flamed Maple top adds the right amount of highs.

Large Frets: Allow a more traditional feel when playing a slightly rounder and wider fretboard radius.

Full Tune II bridge: The classic bridge/stop tailpiece design with height adjustable bridge and individual intonation adjustment.

AH1 neck pickup: The Axis AH1 is a very responsive, full sounding, ceramic magnet humbucker with medium output. Lots of character and excellent for recording.

"Rockin AX"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I will probably supplement it in a year with a "Strat" clone with single coils(you don't happen to make one with stacked humbuckers and a "dual-to-single" switch, do you?).

Sound

Has a really nice, rich tone!!!! Only complaint is that the volume controls tend towards distortion around "6"
