Ibanez AR625FMSP CML Artist Series Flamed Maple Electric Guitar Caramel Burst Low Gloss

A Classic Artist Platform with a Brighter Edge

The Ibanez AR625FMSP CML keeps the familiar Artist feel but leans into a more articulate, forward tone. The flamed maple top over an okoume body adds snap and definition, helping notes cut through clearly whether you're playing clean or pushing into gain. The low gloss finish keeps the feel smooth and natural, letting the wood breathe a little more under your hands.

Super 80 humbuckers bring a different voice compared to the usual AR setup. They’re brighter, cleaner and more immediate, with a tighter low end and a more pronounced top. Paired with Tri-sound switching on each pickup, you can move between full humbucker weight, parallel clarity and split-style tones, covering everything from crisp rhythm parts to sharper lead lines.

The 3-piece maple set-in neck adds stability and sustain, matched with an ebony fretboard that feels fast and precise under the fingers. The 305mm (12") radius keeps things comfortable across chords and bends.

The Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change Classic tailpiece provide solid tuning stability and quick restringing, making it practical for regular use across gigs, sessions or rehearsal runs.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Ibanez AR625FMSP suits players chasing a classic Artist feel with a brighter, more cutting voice and a wider range of usable tones.
