Picked up an Ibanez AR500 from a local seller, it was manufactured in Japan during the 1989 - 1992 production. The ones I see online are usually from the years 1979 - 1982.

Has a nice flame maple top, maple set neck, and an ebony fretboard with abalone block inlays. Comes with dual PAF pro pickups, unlike others which came with Super 58 pickups.

I believe it weighs around 3.5kg, much lighter and more ergonomic when compared to similar double cut guitars like the Yamaha SG1000. It has a harmonically rich tone - warm while being articulate, with an emphasis on upper mids.
