The Ibanez Arondite (AD) series were a guitar model series introduced and discontinued in 2007. They were part of the X series. Why the series was discontinued after one year is unknown. The AD series consisted of three models with different shapes: one based on the Destroyer, one based on the Iceman and one based on a single cut guitar. Apart from shape, color and inlays, the guitars are the same. All three models feature the special VK1 and VK2 blade pickups.
