Description
The Ibanez AR625FMSP is a refined take on a true Ibanez classic, pairing the iconic double-cut AR silhouette with a stunning Flamed Maple top and a classy Caramel Burst Low Gloss finish. With its vintage-inspired 24.75″ scale, legendary Super 80 humbuckers and versatile Tri-Sound switching, this guitar is built for players who want timeless looks, expressive tones and rock-solid playability in one elegant package.
A 3-piece Maple neck and Okoume body provide a bright, lively acoustic response, while the bound Ebony fretboard and medium frets keep everything feeling smooth and comfortable under the fingers. Add in the Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change Classic tailpiece for dependable tuning stability and quick string changes, plus a pair of Super 80 pickups with versatile Tri-Sound switches, and you have a workhorse instrument that’s equally at home on stage or in the studio.
Classic AR design, modern refinement
The AR625FMSP continues the legacy of one of Ibanez’s first original designs, retaining the elegant double-cut shape and comfortable body contours that made the AR Series a favourite. The satin polyurethane body finish feels smooth and unobtrusive against the body, encouraging marathon playing sessions without the fatigue. And with its set-in neck joint, you can easily reach the highest frets.
Super 80 pickups with Tri-Sound switches
The Super 80 humbuckers, complete with their iconic “Flying Finger” engraving, deliver a bright, clean and articulate tone that suits everything from shimmering chords to precise lead lines. Whether you’re into classic rock, blues or fusion, this is a guitar that rewards dynamic, expressive playing.
With individual Tri-Sound switches for each pickup, you can unlock a wide palette of humbucking, single-coil and parallel sounds, allowing you to tailor the guitar’s response to any style or setting.
