Ibanez A528-CMG Alpha Series 8-String Electric Guitar, Coral Mirage
Forward-Thinking Design for Modern Players
The Ibanez A528-CMG Alpha Series 8-String marks a bold step into the future of extended-range guitars. Finished in a distinctive Coral Mirage, this model is built for cutting-edge players seeking innovative ergonomics and expanded sonic potential.
Its American basswood body delivers a balanced, neutral tone, while the advanced Alpha body contours enhance comfort and playing stability—whether seated or standing.
Ergonomic Performance, Expanded Tonal Control
At the core is the Parallel Wizard AS 5-piece maple/walnut neck, featuring an asymmetric profile for improved hand positioning and fluid technique. This design greatly benefits complex playing styles such as sweeping and string skipping.
The ebony fretboard, combined with jumbo stainless steel frets, ensures fast response, durability, and articulate note definition. Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers (Alnico and Ceramic) provide aggressive, noise-free output, with a voicing switch enabling seamless transitions between high-output modern tones and cleaner, dynamic sounds.
The Mono-rail G2 bridge enhances string separation and resonance, while Gotoh MG-T locking tuners offer excellent tuning stability.
