Ibanez AR420 VLS Artist Series Electric Guitar Violin Sunburst
Make the most of your new gear with the below
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.
