Ibanez - AR625FMSP CML

This Ibanez AR625FMSP CML resurrects the golden age of rock with unbridled class. Its Okoume body, topped by a flamed maple top, projects a strong visual identity beneath its Caramel Burst Low Gloss finish. This is the kind of instrument that catches the eye as soon as you open the flight case, whether you're on a club stage or in a studio session.

The glued three-piece maple neck has a contoured heel to free up access to the last few fret slots. There's no need to contort your neck to reach the 22nd Medium fret. The ebony fingerboard is dense and dark, providing a clean attack that will delight fans of fast phrasing and dynamic nuances. It's like a silk carpet for your fingers.

On the electronics side, the pair of Super 80 ceramic humbuckers will appeal to those nostalgic for the 70s, with their famous 'Flying Finger' engraving. These passive pickups deliver organic clarity, even with generous distortion. They maintain exemplary definition in the midrange, preventing your sound from drowning out the band's mix.

The secret of its versatility lies in the two Tri-Sound switches. Each pickup can be switched from series wiring to parallel or single-coil mode in the blink of an eye. This configuration transforms your guitar into a Swiss Army knife capable of switching between warm blues and cutting funk. It's like having three different instruments on the same strap.

The Gibraltar Performer bridge transmits vibrations directly to the body for sustain that lasts into the next day. Combined with the Quik Change Classic tailpiece, it radically simplifies string changes between sets. Ibanez has created a chic model for those who refuse to choose between vintage aesthetics and modern playing comfort.
