Ibanez ART120QA Traditional, Transparent Black Sunburst

Full Description

Powerful, well-balanced tone

Simply breathtaking. Witness a sound that reminds us all what rock n’ roll is really about. The ART120QA comes fitted with two Classic Elite humbuckers to emit those scorching tones that have mesmerised us for decades.

Humbuckers are characterised by their ability to produce powerful, rich tones with maximum clarity. This is because they feature two coils that have been wired out of phase with each other, and therefore eliminate the hum that single-coil pickups possess. As a result, the ART120QA generates a gorgeously full sound, with dense, rich mids - making it perfect for a heavy rock/ metal sound. Fuel your tone with the fury it craves.

Searing sustain

An effortless playing experience. The ART120QA is carefully-crafted from a selection of tonewoods to deliver a sound that oozes with precision and definition. A maple neck, combined with a set-neck construction, entails total playing comfort at the hands of the performer. Not to mention the unmatched sustain that ripples through the entirety of the instrument, decorating your performance with even more character.

Furthermore, the New Zealand Pine fretboard has taken part in a seasoning process which yields a harder, more durable piece of wood. Therefore, you can have complete confidence in your guitar’s ability to withstand years of intense use, whilst still retaining its iconic warmth of tone. In conjunction with a single-cutaway, poplar body, the ART120QA possesses a sound that breathes with sublime resonance across the entirety of all 22 frets. Enhanced playability at your fingertips.

Astonishing style

Set the stage alight. The ART120QA contributes a stunning presence to the live setting. A fierce transparent black sunburst finish provides that classic-rock flair that takes us back to the heat of the 70’s rock scene. Additionally, the ART120QA is decorated with eye-catching, chrome hardware for even more style and character. Utterly scintillating.
