The ultimate balance. Super 58 pickups are known for their even, dynamic tone which offers you the ability to branch out into many different styles of music. The bridge position pickup will give your licks plenty of punch, and make chords sing with clarity and fullness. The neck pickup is ideal for lead playing, with plenty of mid-range power to make your licks stand out. As such, you'll have no trouble producing some searing hot sounds with the AR325QA.
There are also multiple controls for you to play with. Rather than the standard pickup selector, this guitar has tri-sound control dials for each pickup, allowing you to change their tone with ease. By switching between positions, you can access the parallel and coil tap wiring options and change the output of each humbucker. This allows you to shape your sound at the flick of a switch.
Tremendous Tonewoods
Resonating with charm. The tonewoods which make up the AR325QA complement its overall sound significantly. The quilted ash top adds a touch of brightness to the balanced tone, whilst the alder body produces a well rounded, evenly matched sound. The high and low frequencies are nicely level, so you'll get a wholesome tone with both enough bite and warmth to keep you happy.
The neck also offers sonic qualities of its own. Constructed from resonant maple, it plays beautifully, and adds a little brightness to the AR325QA's tone. Being a set-neck, it also feels incredibly comfortable and smooth in your hands, especially when reaching for the higher frets. You'll find that moving up and down the bound jatoba fretboard is both effortless and quick, so you'll easily be able to play through any song of your choosing.
Fantastic Features
It's a sturdy creature. The quality hardware on this guitar ensure it stays intact and always plays beautifully. The ART-1 bridge helps to keep your tuning steady, whilst the quick change tailpiece provides both comfort for your hand as well as enhancing resonance and sustain. The medium frets feel comfortable, and are more than robust enough to stand up to all types of aggressive playing. With a dark brown sunburst finish, the AR325QA has plenty of visual appeal to go with its huge sound.
