The Ibanez Alpha A528 isn’t just another multi-scale guitar — it’s a forward-thinking riff weapon! Designed with player comfort front and centre, this beast boasts ergonomic contours, a slick fanned-fret neck and ultra-durable stainless steel frets. Throw in a set of Fishman Fluence Modern ‘buckers, and it’s ready to take your playing and tone up a gear.
Ergonomic Alpha design
Every curve on the Ibanez Alpha A528 has been carefully thought out to make it feel like an extension of you — whether you’re shredding on stage or practicing at home:
- Elbow contour: A subtle scoop right where your arm rests, giving you a more natural playing position and keeping that picking hand steady.
- Three-screw neck joint: Utilises two screws mounted within an oval-shaped stainless-steel plate, plus one driven directly from the body into the neck for superb strength and effortless upper fret access.
- Rear body contour: A sculpted curve along the upper horn tilts the guitar slightly upward against your body, improving fingerboard visibility and overall playability.
- Flat body edge: The lower side of the body is made flat and wide to create a stable contact point on your leg — no slipping around when you’re sat down!
- Rear output jack: Smartly placed so it never gets in your way, no matter how you play.
Multi-scale neck
Nope, it’s not warped — it’s multi-scale magic. With a 27.5″ scale on the low string and 25.5″ on the high, you get tight low-end punch without sacrificing easy bends and smooth vibrato up top. It’s the best of both worlds.
Fishman Fluence Modern pickups
Driving this 8-string machine is a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers. These pickups have become a go-to for metal players chasing power and precision, delivering crushing, crystal-clear tone without excess noise. With a 3-way selector switch in easy reach, plus an additional voicing switch, you’ve got plenty of full humbucking and sparkly single-coil sounds to play with.
Key Features
- Parallel Wizard AS Maple/Walnut neck: It’s got a clever asymmetric carve — slightly rounder on the bass side while keeping a slim 21 mm thickness all the way through. The result? A natural, comfy grip that makes sweeping and string skipping feel like second nature.
- Jumbo stainless steel frets: Built to last and play like a dream! Stainless steel means amazing durability and corrosion resistance, while the jumbo size gives you clear note definition and excellent control.
- Luminescent side dots: These glow-in-the-dark position markers keep you locked in and confident when the lights go down.
- Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers: Provide an aggressive tone and a razor-sharp attack without excess noise, whether you’re chugging chords or ripping solos.
- Fishman Fluence voicing switch: Flip between a modern, active high output sound to a crisp, clean and fluid tone.
- Mono-Rail G2 bridge: Maximum resonance, zero interference. This innovative design gives you superb note separation and lets you choose between string-through or top-loading setups.
- Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads: Rock-solid tuning stability and lightning-fast string changes. Spend less time fiddling, more time shredding.
- Included gig bag: Because Ibanez knows you’ll want to take this beast everywhere! You get a a snug, protective fit for your new favourite axe.
