The AR112 is a twelve string Artist series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1981. It was made in Japan by FujiGen and replaced the similar 24-fret AR350 & 2618/12.
The AR112 features an arched flame maple 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, a Gibraltar Tune-O-Matic style bridge and special stop tailpiece with integrated "cloud" ornament, rubberized Sure Grip control knobs, and VelveTune machine heads.
For 1983 the Gibraltar 12-string bridge was replaced with the Gibraltar II bridge and Duo Sound coil-split controls were added via push-push functionality on each tone control.
Controls: 1981–1982: Two volumes / two tones / 3-way toggle pickup selector 1983–1984: Two volumes / two tones / 3-way toggle pickup selector / individual push-push Duo Sound switches on tone pots
