Best of both worlds Hollow body guitars look fantastic and produce a round full tone that appeals to a lot of guitarists however for those wanting to experiment with higher gain settings and those that want to push their sound beyond the boundaries full hollow bodies just arent practical as they often cause feedback even at low volumes. Well semi-hollow guitars with internal blocks provide the ideal compromise. The semi-hollow design provides the natural tones you want with a mounting block for the pickups to stop unwanted vibration that leads to feedback found in hollow body guitars. The Ibanez AR520H-BK is a perfect example of this design and when paired with the tried and tested Super-58 pickups used since the 1980s you gain classic warm and resonant tone that is more than capable of being pushed with drive for added grit and mid-range crunch. Tri-Sound – your gateway to versatile tones Ibanez knows that todays rock performers need versatility from their guitars. With that in mind the AR520H-BK is fitted with two Tri-sound switches as well as the traditional three-way toggle. These modify the circuitry of each of the Super 58 humbuckers individually internally rewiring them for series parallel or coil-split operation. What does that mean in practice? Just about every tone you could imagine ready at a moments notice. In series mode each humbucker gives that recognisable mid-focussed sound we love with the neck unit giving a more full and fluid tone than than the driving bridge pickup. Engage the coil-split function for a chiming single-coil sparkle or switch to parallel humbucker mode for the best of both worlds – a reduced output pickup with no hum.
