Mario Camarena. Who do you think?

Mario is the guitarist of the band CHON and creates instrumental music that will leave you licking your fingers. On their debut full-length Grow, CHON blends prog rock and jazz with lightning-fast picking, staccato drumming, and vibrant melodies, resulting in a sound that is fresh, exciting, and completely their own.

This model can now be compared to the famous AZ series. The Ibanez Premium MAR 10 in Lavender Metallic Matte is not only a treat for the eyes but also the ultimate tool for every modern guitarist.

In addition to the basswood body, the MAR10 impresses with its ergonomic curves, making both sitting and standing play a pleasure. Gone are the "getting used to" days—after just a few songs on this beauty, it will feel like you've been playing it for months. The fluorescent dots on the neck complete the picture.

The specially developed Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups with dyna-MIX9 circuits provide versatile tones with amazing articulation. Compared to, for example, the AZ242 that we had in the showroom, this version is equipped with two single pickups in the neck and middle positions. In the bridge, there's a humbucker that can of course be split. Have you seen the Gotoh T1502 tremolo and the Gotoh H.A.P. Magnum Lock machine heads?

However, we believe the absolute highlight of the Ibanez MAR10 is undoubtedly the incredibly playable bolted neck made of roasted maple. Thanks to thermal treatment in a vacuum, the neck gains resonance and becomes resistant to climate changes. In short, there's a lot to say about this model. Feel free to visit the shop to check out this beauty with your own eyes!
