Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
AR520HME brings the AR layout to a natural-finished solid body made from maple and okoume, topped with Macassar ebony. A set-in 3-piece maple neck leads to a 22-medium-fret jatoba fingerboard, while two Super 58 humbuckers are controlled by a 3-way selector, one volume, one tone, and two Tri-sound switches. Each pickup has series, parallel, and coil-tap settings, so the electronics offer several routing choices from a compact control set. Gibraltar Performer bridge hardware and the Quik Change Classic tailpiece support its fixed-bridge setup.

Who this is for
- Changing Super 58 pickup operation through independent Tri-sound switches.
