The AR250 has all the basic features of an Artist model, including a mahogany body with maple top, a set-in maple neck, two humbucking pickups and a bridge with tailpiece. This new affordable Artist model has inherited a couple of features of the previously introduced ARC, ART and ARX models also produced in China, including an Artcore bridge and Artcore pickups. A similar model was introduced for the Japanese market as the AR250DX.
