An Heir to the Artist Series, a Modernized Classic
The Ibanez AR series has marked the brand's history with its elegant double cutaway and meticulous craftsmanship. The AR625FMSP continues this "Artist" spirit by combining a carved flamed maple top with an okoumé body, creating an instrument that is both iconic and contemporary, designed for both stage and studio use.
Who Is This Guitar For, and What Styles?
Versatile and comfortable, the AR625FMSP suits intermediate to advanced guitarists. Its Super 80 humbuckers and Tri-sound switches cover blues, classic rock, pop, funk, and fusion, while offering precise clean tones and edgy crunches, up to singing leads with generous sustain.
Sound Characteristics
The
Super 80 pickups deliver a
clear, bright, and defined character with a sharp attack. The
Tri-sound switches allow each humbucker to operate in series, parallel, or single-coil mode, opening textures from full humbucker warmth to thinner twang. The combination of
flamed maple top / okoumé body provides projection, dynamics, and roundness, while the
ebony fingerboard enhances treble precision. The
Gibraltar Performer bridge promotes sustain and stable intonation, ideal for fine tuning and even attack.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of this electric guitar, choose a standard
nickel string set (e.g., 9-42 or 10-46), a quality
6.35 mm instrument cable, a sturdy
strap for standard strap buttons, and a precise
clip-on tuner. A stable
guitar stand will protect the finish and ensure the instrument's safety.
