Ibanez / A527-NSH (Nebula Shift) [03]

Introducing the Ibanez “ALPHA 7String”—an innovative 7-string multiscale model dedicated to the next generation of modern metal players!

The body is crafted from American basswood, which offers neutral, natural, and flat acoustic characteristics. In addition to a slim 40mm-thick design that minimizes weight without compromising sound or balance, the guitar features an “Ergonomic rear body contour” that allows the instrument to naturally fit against your body when held, with the fingerboard facing upward,the “Ergonomic Elbow Contour” to relieve elbow strain, and the “Flat Body Edge” to stabilize the classical-style playing position where the guitar is held between the legs while seated—all part of the meticulous ergonomic shaping incorporated throughout the design. Furthermore, the unique “3-Point Bolt Joint” utilizing a stainless steel oval plate ensures robust rigidity while providing smooth access to the high frets without any sense of limitation.The rear output jack, designed with cable management in mind, ensures a comfortable playing experience whether standing or seated.

The neck features a high-rigidity 5-piece construction combining maple and walnut. It employs the newly designed “Parallel Wizard AS-7” shape—which features a gentle curve toward the bass strings while maintaining a uniform thickness of 21 mm along its entire length—to dramatically support technical playing techniques such as sweeps and skipping.The ebony fingerboard—known for its hardness and excellent attack—is equipped with jumbo stainless steel frets for durability and clear separation, mother-of-pearl stepped offset dot inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side dots that provide reliable visibility on dark stages.The multi-scale design—27.2 inches (7th string) and 25.5 inches (1st string)—balances the tight, clear tension of the deep Low-B string with comfortable bending and soloing on the higher strings.

The electronics feature the “Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker” active pickups (Neck: Alnico / Bridge: Ceramic), which boast an ultra-low-noise design and an overwhelming sense of attack. Using the voicing switch, you can switch between a dynamic, thick, high-output tone (Voice 1), a well-defined organic/clean tone (Voice 2), and a crystal-clear single-coil tone (Voice 3).From the sharp riffs demanded by modern metal to crystal-clear clean tones, it produces precise, unclouded tones.

The hardware features a recessed, newly developed “Mono-rail G2” bridge, whose independent string structure minimizes interference between strings and enables direct vibration transmission. In addition to the expansive sustain provided by the brass saddles, it features a groundbreaking design that accommodates both through-body and under-body string routing.The pegs are equipped with Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, which boast quick string changes and outstanding pitch stability. Combining functionality and tone that transcend tradition, this is the ultimate 7-string model that opens up new realms of expression.
