AR3212 Vintage Burst (more images)

The AR3212 is a 12-string Artist series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid-2013. It is produced in China and was a spot model which never appeared in a catalog.

The AR3212 features an arched flame maple top with abalone purfling and cream binding on a mahogany body mated to a set-in maple neck with a 22-fret fingerboard with binding and split block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 Custom humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls wired to Tri-sound switches which allow a range of tone options, a Tune-O-matic style 12-string bridge and tailpiece, Ibanez die-cast tuning machines, and Sure Grip III knobs.

The AR320 is a similar six string model.

The AR3212 was produced only in 2013.
