Ibanez A528-IPT Alpha Series 8-String Multi-Scale Electric Guitar, Iron Pewter
Modern Innovation with Multi-Scale Precision
The Ibanez A528-IPT Alpha Series 8-String brings cutting-edge design and extended-range capability together in a sleek Iron Pewter finish.
Built for forward-thinking players, this model takes the Alpha platform further with a multi-scale construction, enhancing both playability and tonal clarity across all eight strings.
Its American basswood body provides a balanced, neutral tonal response, while the sculpted Alpha contours ensure maximum comfort and stability during long playing sessions.
Ergonomic Feel, Advanced Tonal Flexibility
The Parallel Wizard AS 5-piece maple/walnut neck features an asymmetric profile, offering a more natural grip and improved comfort for complex techniques. Combined with the multi-scale layout, it delivers optimal string tension, clearer low-end definition, and improved intonation.
The ebony fretboard and jumbo stainless steel frets provide a fast, durable playing surface with excellent articulation. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups offer powerful, noise-free performance, with a voicing switch allowing seamless transitions between aggressive high-output tones and cleaner, more dynamic sounds.
A Mono-rail G2 bridge ensures exceptional string separation and resonance, while Gotoh MG-T locking tuners maintain rock-solid tuning stability.
