Ibanez A528-IPT Alpha Iron Pewter

Innovative 8-String Power - Now With Perfect Ergonomics!

The Ibanez A528 Alpha is the modern flagship for progressive guitarists who demand technical precision, outstanding tone and supreme playing comfort. With a perfectly balanced ergonomic design, powerful active pickups and premium hardware, this guitar gives you everything you need for studio work, the stage and creative inspiration.

Ergonomic Design For Maximum Comfort

The Alpha series was crafted to redefine the playing experience. With an ergonomic elbow contour, a smart rear body contour (Alpha) and a flat lower body edge, the guitar sits perfectly against the body—whether seated or standing. The specially shaped Alpha neck joint improves access to the upper frets and provides stability and ideal balance. A rear-mounted output jack keeps your freedom of movement fully intact on stage.

Parallel Wizard AS Neck - Fast, Precise, Comfortable

The five-piece Parallel Wizard AS neck of maple and walnut delivers extreme stability and superb playability. A consistent neck thickness of 21 mm and an asymmetric profile promote a natural hand position that makes long sessions effortless. Combined with the ebony fretboard and 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets, you get buttery response, clear articulation and a brilliant harmonic spectrum.

Powerful Fishman Fluence Pickups

At the heart of the Alpha is a set of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—Alnico at the neck and Ceramic at the bridge. These active pickups offer punchy high-output tones or transparent, open cleans. Thanks to the Voicing Switch you can flip between aggressive power and finely defined clarity in an instant—ideal for styles from metal to fusion.

Precise Hardware For Professional Performance

The Mono-rail G2 bridge guarantees maximum vibration transfer, clear string separation and excellent intonation. Gotoh MG-T locking tuners keep your tuning stable even under heavy use and allow lightning-fast string changes. Complemented by luminescent side dots, you'll always stay oriented on dark stages. The included gigbag reliably protects your instrument during transport.
