Ibanez A Series A528CMG Coral Mirage 8 String (503)

The Ibanez Alpha series marks a bold new chapter in modern guitar design, built for players who demand cutting-edge ergonomics, extended range performance, and uncompromising tone. The A528 expands that vision into the 8-string world, pairing an innovative sculpted body with Ibanez’s Parallel Wizard AS neck for an incredibly natural, balanced feel across the entire multi-scale fretboard.

A 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck, ebony fingerboard, and jumbo stainless steel frets deliver exceptional clarity, snap, and long-term durability. The American Basswood body keeps the response tight and articulate, while a set of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers (Alnico 9 neck, Ceramic 9 bridge) provides crushing low-end authority, articulate mids, and clear high-gain definition with selectable voicings at the flip of a switch.

Finished in striking Coral Mirage and outfitted with Mono-Rail G2 hardware, Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, luminescent side dots, and Ibanez’s ergonomic elbow contour, the A528 is engineered for modern players pushing into new sonic territory. Includes Ibanez gig bag.
