Combining a striking modern aesthetic with a multi-scale neck, premium Fishman Fluence electronics, stainless steel frets, and individual Mono-rail bridge pieces, the A528CMG is engineered to keep all eight strings articulate and controlled across everything from intricate clean passages to crushing high-gain work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the A528CMG is Ibanez's Parallel Wizard AS-8 five-piece maple\/walnut neck. Its multi-scale design spans from 25.5\" to 27.5\", maintaining a familiar response on the upper strings while providing the additional tension and definition needed for the extended bass range. The ebony fingerboard features a flat 508mm radius, 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, and elegant mother-of-pearl Step offset dot inlays, creating a fast and precise playing surface ideally suited to technical modern styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn American basswood body provides a balanced tonal foundation, while a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern nine-string humbuckers handles the electronics. An Alnico 9 model in the neck position provides powerful, articulate warmth, while a Ceramic 9 bridge pickup delivers the tight attack and aggressive definition needed to keep complex chords and low-register riffs clear under heavy gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbanez's Mono-rail G2 bridge uses individual bridge units for each string, providing solid string isolation and a clean, streamlined feel while accommodating the guitar's multi-scale geometry. Factory tuning extends down to F#, with D'Addario EXL120-8 strings providing a balanced .009-.065 gauge set across the instrument's eight-string range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in eye-catching Coral Mirage with black hardware, the Ibanez A528CMG Alpha A Series is a serious modern performance instrument for progressive metal, technical playing, extended-range composition, and players looking to explore well beyond the boundaries of a conventional six-string guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha A Series 8-string electric guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStriking Coral Mirage finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican basswood body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-scale design for optimized tension and response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25.5\" to 27.5\" scale range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel Wizard AS-8 five-piece maple\/walnut neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e508mm fingerboard radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 jumbo stainless steel frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother-of-pearl Step offset dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico 9 neck pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic 9 bridge pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono-rail G2 bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual bridge design for all eight strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10.8mm string spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory tuned down to F#\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD'Addario EXL120-8 strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBody\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Alpha A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: A528CMG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: American Basswood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Coral Mirage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNeck\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Type: Parallel Wizard AS-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 5-Piece Maple\/Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlays: Mother of Pearl Step Offset Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Type: Jumbo Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 508mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-Scale Length: 698mm \/ 27.5\" to 648mm \/ 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth at 24th Fret: 78mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret: 21mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret: 21mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHardware\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Mono-rail G2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 10.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Color: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario EXL120-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Gauges: .009 \/ .011 \/ .016 \/ .024 \/ .032 \/ .042 \/ .054 \/ .065\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eElectronics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: HH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup Type: Active \/ Alnico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup Type: Active \/ Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTuning\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory Tuning: F#–B–E–A–D–G–B–E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8th String: F#\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7th String: B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6th String: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5th String: A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4th String: D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3rd String: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2nd String: B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1st String: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Tone Shop Guitars?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Tone Shop Guitars, we pride ourselves on offering a carefully curated selection of instruments backed by knowledgeable players and exceptional customer service.
