The Ibanez AR520HME is a classy electric guitar that blends vintage-inspired looks with modern playability and tonal flexibility. With its elegant Natural finish, compact double cutaway body and versatile Super 58 humbuckers with Tri-sound switching, it’s equally at home covering smooth jazz, expressive blues, classic rock and more.

Built around Ibanez’s iconic AR shape, this model features a semi-hollow construction for a lively and articulate acoustic response. A comfortable 3-piece Maple neck with bound Jatoba fretboard and medium frets keeps things fast and precise under the fingers, while the Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change Classic tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning and easy string changes. Add in the warm, articulate Super 58 pickups and you have a refined workhorse that looks and feels far more expensive than it is!

Semi-hollow AR design

The AR520HME takes the classic Ibanez AR silhouette and gives it a semi-hollow twist, delivering extra resonance and an airy, open character. The combination of Macassar Ebony top, Okoume back and Maple body yields a tight low and midrange with a clear, cutting high end — making chords bloom and single notes sing. It’s a great platform for expressive, dynamic playing and responds beautifully to changes in pick attack and volume.

Super 58 pickups with Tri-Sound switching

Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers are renowned for their moderate output and vintage-flavoured tone, delivering warm, musical cleans and smooth, articulate overdrive. Each pickup is paired with a dedicated Tri-sound switch, giving you three distinct voices per humbucker. This expanded palette lets you move from full, rounded humbucker sounds to brighter, more focused single-coil and parallel textures at the flick of a switch.

Key Features

  • Semi-hollow body: Adds resonance and air to your sound, ideal for expressive clean tones and dynamic overdrive.
  • 3-piece Maple neck: Delivers excellent strength and enhanced resonance, helping every note ring out clearly.
  • Jatoba fingerboard: Offers a rich midrange and crisp highs, with medium frets that make it easy to play accurately — whether you’re comping chords or ripping intricate lead lines.
  • Super 58 pickups: Vintage-voiced and warm, delivering moderate output with smooth, musical character.
  • Dual Tri-Sound switches: Each humbucker has its own Tri-Sound switch, giving you three distinct tonal modes per pickup. This allows you to move from full humbucking power to single-coil style textures without changing guitars.
  • Gibraltar Performer bridge: Rock-solid tuning stability with low-profile saddles for maximum playing comfort.
  • Quik Change Classic tailpiece: String changes made simple — swap out your strings in record time and get back to playing!

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Semi-Hollow Electric Guitars

Semi-hollow electric guitars combine elements of solid and hollow body designs, offering warmth and resonance alongside improved sustain and feedback control. Typically built with a centre block running through the body, they deliver an open, airy character while remaining stable at higher volumes. This balance makes them well suited to a wide range of styles, from jazz and blues to indie, rock, and alternative music. Semi-hollow guitars respond well to dynamics and touch, providing a versatile, expressive option for players who want depth without sacrificing control.

Natural

Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres.

Semi-Hollow

Semi-hollow guitars blend the warmth and resonance of a hollow body with the feedback control and sustain of a solid body. Featuring a solid centre block running through the body, they deliver rich, open tones with added bite — perfect for blues, jazz, rock, and soul. From smooth cleans to gritty overdrive, semi-hollows like the ES-335 have become timeless favourites for players who want depth, character, and versatility in one beautifully balanced instrument.
