Ibanez electric guitar with Super 58 humbuckers
The Ibanez AR Standard AR420-VLS Artist Violin sunburst is an electric guitar with a classic dual-humbucker layout and a set-in AR 3pc Maple neck with smooth heel. That rounded neck joint makes the upper positions easier to reach, while the passive Super 58 (H) Alnico pickups in the neck and bridge give you the exact pickup format many players specifically look for.
Factory tuning is standard 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E. It comes fitted with a set of D'Addario EXL110 strings in .010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046, a widely used gauge for general electric guitar playing.
Construction, finish and playing dimensions
The body pairs a flamed maple top with an okoume body, finished in Violin sunburst with gold hardware. The bound jatoba fretboard features acrylic and abalone block inlays, giving this Artist model a distinctive look while keeping the playing surface clear.
With a 628 mm / 24.7 inch scale, a 43 mm nut width and 22 medium frets, this electric guitar will feel familiar to many players. The 305 mmR fretboard radius, 57 mm width at the 22nd fret and neck thicknesses of 20 mm at the 1st fret and 22 mm at the 9th fret make the dimensions easy to compare if you are choosing carefully.
Hardware on the Ibanez AR420-VLS
Ibanez fits this model with a Gibraltar Performer bridge and a Quik Change Classic tailpiece. The 10.5 mm string spacing is also specified, which is useful if you pay close attention to right-hand feel and the room between the strings.
If you are looking for an electric guitar in Artist style with a set-in neck, 22 frets and a Violin sunburst finish, the AR420-VLS is a clear option within the Ibanez range. At Magna Music, you can also ask musicians for focused advice on setup and string choice.
