Ibanez - A528-CMG Alpha Coral Mirage + housse

The Ibanez A528-CMG Alpha Coral Mirage electric guitar has been designed for guitarists who want to get the most out of an 8-string without sacrificing comfort. Its American basswood body ensures an even tonal base, allowing the extended bass to remain defined without stifling the treble.

The Parallel Wizard AS maple and walnut neck maintains an even thickness under the fingers, and its asymmetrical shape naturally hugs the palm of the hand, helping to maintain a relaxed posture even on technical flights of fancy. On the neck, the ebony fingerboard accentuates the attack and improves note definition, which is particularly useful when playing tight riffs or fast solos.

The multi-scale increases tension on the lower strings while maintaining a supple feel on the higher strings, making saturated chords and complex progressions easier to place. The jumbo stainless steel frets respond effortlessly under the fingers and stand up well to the wear and tear of intensive playing. The Mono-rail G2 bridge transmits the resonance of each string to the body while minimising string-to-string interference, giving clear note separation when playing extended chords.

Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, with voicing, allow you to switch from a powerful active sound to a clearer, more fluid sound, opening up possibilities for varying tonal textures without changing instruments. This system also reduces background noise, which is appreciated when amplifiers are pushed on stage.

The Gotoh MG-T locking action stabilises the tuning, which is essential for an 8-string used for drop or extended tunings. The ergonomic contours of the body, with a scoop for the arm and a curve for the back, improve comfort during extended playing. The natural angle of the guitar against the body improves visibility of the neck and focuses energy on playing rather than posture.
