Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The AR420-VLS is a seriously cool-looking and surprisingly versatile guitar. It nails that vintage aesthetic with a modern Ibanez twist and those Super 58 pickups have a great, warm growl. This is a fantastic option for players wanting a classic vibe without the premium price tag, especially those into blues, rock, and classic country.

Frequently Asked Questions
It provides humbucker, single-coil, and humbucker-parallel options, expanding tonal possibilities beyond standard humbucker sounds.
The neck has a comfortable, moderate 'C' shape that's generally accommodating, though some with very large hands might find it a touch narrow.
The ART1 is a fixed bridge, offering excellent sustain and tuning stability, but lacks the adjustability of a Tune-o-Matic for more complex setups.
