About this listing
Ibanez A528 Iron Pewter 8-String Active Electric GuitarThe ALPHA series lives up to its name, representing a true beginning. Designed for modern and progressive players, the Ibanez Alpha series features a range of unique and highly contemporary elements. Its ergonomic body contours and curves create a more immersive playing experience, offering both comfort and performance in equal measure.The Ibanez Alpha is designed not only to change the way you play, but also to open up new musical possibilities.The Parallel Wizard AS 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck features a more rounded shape on the bass side while maintaining a consistent 21mm thickness throughout the neck. This asymmetrical design provides a more natural grip and improved comfort, making techniques such as sweeping and string skipping easier to execute. The maple and walnut construction also delivers clear tone and excellent attack.Jumbo stainless steel frets offer outstanding corrosion resistance. Their wide and tall profile provides quick response, easier chording, and a clear, articulate tone for single-note playing.The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico and Ceramic pickups deliver aggressive attack, powerful output, and minimal noise, making them ideal for modern high-gain performance.The Mono-rail G2 bridge is designed to transfer string vibration efficiently to the body while minimizing interference between strings, resulting in excellent note separation. It also supports both string-through-body and top-loading installation.The Alpha’s ergonomic forearm contour features a subtle carved recess where the player’s arm contacts the body, improving posture, comfort, and picking-hand stability.Its innovative three-bolt neck joint uses two bolts mounted into an oval-shaped stainless steel plate, plus an additional bolt directly securing the neck to the body. This design provides strong neck stability while improving upper fret access and overall playability.A long rear body contour along the upper back edge naturally tilts the guitar upward when held against the body, improving fingerboard visibility and playing comfort without requiring extra effort from the player.SpecificationsNeck Type: Parallel Wizard AS-8 / 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck Body: American Basswood Fretboard: Ebony with Mother of Pearl Step Offset Dot Inlay Frets: Jumbo Stainless Steel Number of Frets: 24 Bridge: Mono-rail G2 String Spacing: 10.8mm Neck Pickup: Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico 9 (Active / Alnico) Bridge Pickup: Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic 9 (Active / Ceramic) Factory Tuning: 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E, 7B, 8F# Strings: D’Addario EXL120-8 String Gauge: .009 / .011 / .016 / .024 / .032 / .042 / .054 / .065 Hardware Color: Black Finish: Iron PewterNeck DimensionsScale Length: 698mm / 27.5" – 648mm / 25.5" Width at Nut: 48mm Width at 24th Fret: 66mm Thickness at 1st Fret: 21mm Thickness at 12th Fret: 21mm Radius: 508mmR
