Yowza, this Ibanez Artist AR325 with figured Bubinga top is bonkers cool. This is the first year it came out (2012) so it features the real Pearl and Abalone inlays (versus Acrylic). Here in Very Good+ condition, this one sounds and plays great. The tri-sound switchs for the pickups are darn usable and fun to have. You don't see the figured Bubinga top as often as some of the other model options. Very light play wear (tarnish on gold hardware, some light smudges), but really very clean. Includes a gigbag.
Here's some info from the Ibanez Wiki:
