Ibanez Alpha A528 Multiscale 8-String Electric Guitar w/ Bag - Coral Mirage

The Ibanez Alpha Series A528 is a no-compromise extended-range instrument engineered for modern players who demand massive low-end authority, razor-sharp articulation, and exceptional ergonomics. Finished in a stealthy Coral Mirage, the A528 delivers cutting-edge design, rock-solid hardware, and Fishman Fluence power in a sleek, performance-ready package.

At the heart of the A528 is Ibanez’s Parallel Wizard AS-8 five-piece maple/walnut neck, designed for speed, consistency, and long-term stability. The multiscale 27.5"–25.5" layout provides ideal tension across all eight strings, keeping the low F# tight and defined while maintaining familiar feel and snap on the higher strings. A smooth ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl step offset dot inlays, a wide 508mm radius, and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets ensures effortless playability and exceptional durability for aggressive modern techniques.

The lightweight American basswood body is sculpted with ergonomic elbow and rear body contours, making the A528 comfortable for long sessions on stage or in the studio. Individual Mono-Rail G2 bridges isolate each string for improved resonance, superior note separation, and precise intonation—especially critical for extended-range and high-gain performance.

Electronics are handled by a devastating set of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, featuring an Alnico 9 neck pickup for clarity and punch and a Ceramic 9 bridge pickup for crushing output and tight low-end response. The onboard Fluence voicing switch unlocks multiple tonal profiles, giving the A528 remarkable versatility—from articulate cleans to devastating modern distortion. Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, black hardware, and luminescent side dots round out a guitar built for serious performance in any environment.

Powerful, precise, and purpose-built, the Ibanez Alpha Series A528 is a modern 8-string designed to meet the demands of today’s most forward-thinking guitarists.
