The AR300RE is an Artist series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late 2008. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.
The AR300RE the fourth classic Ibanez in a series of reissues, following the BWM1, 2670RE and AR5000RE, and is a new version of the AR300 from the 1980s. Unlike the previous reissues in the series, the AR300RE is a more regular production model and was available for several years. It essentially replaced the Korean-made AR300.
The AR300RE features a flamed maple top on a mahogany body mated to a set-in maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and pearl and abalone split block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with special Tri-sound switching, a Gibraltar bridge with a sustain block, a Quik Change tailpiece with scalloped ornament, and Gotoh tuning machines with pearloid buttons.
The AR300RE was discontinued after 2010, but a somewhat similar Chinese made model, the AR325, was introduced in 2012.
