Ibanez AR320 MBM Midnight Black

The Ibanez Artist that proves a shorter scale length and warm humbuckers also have a place at Ibanez

The Ibanez AR320 is not your average Ibanez. While the brand is known for fast, thin necks and long scale lengths for shredders, the Artist series deliberately chooses a different approach: a 24.75" scale length, a fuller AR neck profile, and Super 58 humbuckers tuned for a warm, vintage-inspired tone. The result is a guitar that feels at home with blues, rock, and jazz, but can also hold its own in heavier styles.

The Super 58 pickups deliver a clear, layered sound with good dynamics. The 3-Voice Switch adds an extra dimension: you can quickly switch between three different tonal characteristics without having to adjust the electronics. The okoume body sounds warm and resonant, while the jatoba fretboard with abalone block inlays offers a smooth playing experience. With 22 medium frets and a 12" radius, the AR320 is comfortable for both chord playing and melody lines.

The maple neck with AR profile feels sturdy and familiar in the hand, and the Gibraltar Performer bridge ensures good intonation and sustain. The Midnight Black finish gives the guitar a sleek, timeless appearance. A versatile electric guitar for the player looking for something different from the standard Ibanez profile.
