General
Since its inception in the 1970s, the Ibanez AR series has become a mainstay in the guitar industry. With the AR725-VLS in Violin Sunburst, Ibanez breathes some new life into the series. It's a striking instrument, with its painted-on white tailpiece, the 'old banjo' position markers on the neck and the Flying Finger that's etched into the covers on the Super 80 humbuckers, to name just a few cool details.

The Ibanez AR725 features a mahogany body that guarantees a warm timbre and helps create a lengthy sustain. Furthermore, there's a gorgeous maple top with a Violin Sunburst finish, as well as a uniquely designed pickguard to help keep that finish in mint condition. The four controls - volume and tone knobs for both pickups - further underline the guitar's classic look.

Thanks to the 3-piece maple neck with a set-in construction, the AR725 offers excellent resonance. Furthermore, the neck features a gorgeous ebony fretboard with 22 medium frets with smoothed edges, so that you can comfortably move your hand up and down the neck, and bindings that match those on the body. Finally, there's a high-quality ART-1 Bridge and a Quik Change tailpiece to support your strings. In short, the Ibanez AR725-VLS is a top-quality instrument with many great little details to make it a true eye-catcher.
