Classic Artist tone with flexible vintage character
The Ibanez AR420 carries the unmistakable feel of the Artist body shape, blending solidbody punch with refined vintage warmth. A flamed maple top over an okoume body delivers clarity and sustain, while the smooth-heel set-in maple neck keeps the playing experience comfortable right up the fretboard. The bound jatoba fingerboard adds a focused midrange response with a crisp, articulate top end.
Loaded with Super 58 humbuckers, the AR420 excels at warm cleans, expressive blues lines, and classic rock crunch. Dual Tri-sound switches dramatically expand its range, letting each pickup move between series, parallel, and single-coil style voices for genuinely useful tonal variety. Gold hardware and the Violin Sunburst finish complete a timeless, stage-ready look.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the AR420 is a superb choice for players who want classic Ibanez Artist feel with versatile tones that adapt easily across styles.
