★2026 New Series “ALPHA” 7-String Model for the modern, cutting-edge guitar player
Introducing “ALPHA,” a new series from Ibanez designed for today’s modern metal players!!

〜Features〜
7-string, multi-scale design
“Parallel Wizard AS-7” Shape 5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck
This neck is crafted from a 5-piece maple and walnut combination, designed to prioritize natural sound while ensuring durability.
The neck features an asymmetrical shape that gently curves toward the low-string side, while maintaining a uniform thickness of 21mm along its entire length.
It is designed to provide a natural grip that facilitates technical playing techniques such as sweep picking and skipping.

Ebony Fingerboard
Characterized by a quick attack and rich sustain.

American Basswood Body
American basswood is used for its natural, flat sound without any peculiarities.
We aimed for a lightweight design without compromising sound or weight balance, resulting in a 40mm body thickness.

Body design optimized for stability and playability when held
Ergonomic rear body contour
A cut runs along the entire length of the upper back of the body, following its contour.
This cut allows the guitar to naturally tilt upward when held, hugging the body and making the fingerboard easier to see, thereby improving playability.

Ergonomic Elbow Contour
To improve stability and playability, the area where the elbow rests is scooped to form a slight indentation.

Flat body edge (lower side)
The lower part of the body is cut wide and flat to provide a stable playing feel when playing while seated with the guitar wedged between your legs.

Jumbo-sized stainless steel frets
These frets are easy to maintain, offer a quick attack, provide excellent separation when playing chords, and produce a clear tone when playing single notes.
We have adopted jumbo-sized frets, which allow for light fingering and excel at playing fast passages and smooth bends.

Fishman Pickup* Uses a 006P battery (9V)
Equipped with a Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickup that achieves an aggressive tone and powerful attack while minimizing noise to the utmost extent.
The Fishman Fluence Voicing switch allows you to select from the following voicing options:

Fishman Fluence 3-Voice Alnico
Voice 1: A high-output sound with a round, full body, offering excellent dynamics and picking nuances.
Voice 2: A clean, focused, and crisp tone ideal for the neck position.
Voice 3: A crystal-clear, glass-like single-coil sound.

Fishman Fluence 3-Voice Ceramic
Voice 1: A high-output sound characterized by a sharp attack and tight bass.
Voice 2: An organic, punchy, passive-like tone.
Voice 3: A bright, clear, and well-defined single-coil sound.

Ibanez Original “Mono-rail G2” Bridge
A newly developed bridge featuring an independent string structure.
The independent structure for each string minimizes interference from other strings while transmitting string vibration directly to the body.
It features a recessed design for a low profile.
This innovative bridge supports both through-body and on-body string routing.
It features brass saddles that deliver clear tone and excellent sustain.

Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads
Designed for ease of string changes, this model features Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, renowned for their tuning stability.
The design allows you to easily lock the strings threaded through the post holes by turning the dial.

Luminescent Side-Dot Fretboard Inlays
We have adopted glow-in-the-dark dot position markers to help you navigate rapidly changing performance environments caused by lighting changes.

3-Point Bolt Joint
We have adopted a unique three-point bolt joint consisting of two screws secured by a stainless steel oval plate, plus a third screw driven directly into the body.
This design ensures strength while dramatically improving access to the high frets and playability.

Rear Output Jack
A rear output jack is included to ensure that the shielded cable does not interfere with your performance, whether you are playing standing or seated.
