The AR105 is an Artist series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1982. It was made in Japan.
The AR105 features an arched burl mahogany top on a double-cutaway mahogany body mated to a set-in three-piece maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups mounted in creme pickup rings with individual volume and tone controls, a Gibraltar Tune-O-Matic style bridge and Quik Change tailpiece with an ornamental scalloped plate, rubberized Sure Grip control knobs, and VelveTune machine heads.
For 1983 the Gibraltar bridge and tailpiece were replaced with the Gibraltar II bridge and Quik Change tailpiece and Duo Sound coil-split controls were added via push-push functionality on each tone control.
The AR100 is a similar model with a flame maple top. The AR305 is a related model with split block fretboard inlays and different pickups with added Tri-Sound switching.
