Ibanez MAR10-LMM Mario Camarena (CHON) AZ Signature

MAR10-LMM Mario Camarena

Ibanez - Electric Guitar

The MAR10 is an AZ series solid-body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2019. It is the first Ibanez signature model for American guitarist Mario Camarena of the math rock band Chon. It is produced in Indonesia as part of the mid-tier Premium line.

The MAR10 features an American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with a roasted maple fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets, Pearloid Sharktooth position markers, and luminescent side dots. Components include Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups mounted in a white Pearloid pickguard with a humbucker at the bridge and single-coils in the neck and middle positions, a T1502 two-point synchronized tremolo bridge, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, an angled output jack and Gotoh locking tuning machines.

The MAR10 employs a Dyna-MIX9 switching system (see diagram below) with an "Alter switch" toggle which allows the user to access nine distinct tones. The Alter switch allows the player to access two modes with the single coils connected in series creating a tone similar to a second humbucker.
