Built-for-rock 8-string Electric from Ibanez

The Ibanez Prestige RG5328 8-string electric is a metal and rock player’s dream. The all-ash body of the RG5328 is resonant, lightweight, and, with a beautiful satin finish, stunning to look at. A 5-piece maple/wenge neck with a Macassar ebony fingerboard and Wizard-8 profile is incredibly playable and responsive, ideal for shredding. In addition, a pair of DiMarzio Fusion Edge 7 Humbucker pickups kicks out smoking-hot humbucker tone.

Gibraltar Standard II-8 bridge

To give the RG5328 unbeatable stability and sustain, Ibanez turned to their time-tested Gibraltar Standard II-8 bridge. This simple fixed bridge design anchors solidly to the body, providing maximum string-to-body transfer. It also features a super-low profile and a smooth surface, making the RG5328 super comfortable to play and giving your picking hand an optimal degree of clearance for speed picking techniques. For high-performance guitar playing, the Gibraltar Standard II-8 is definitely a favorite at AJ’s Music & The Music Man.

Fusion Edge humbuckers deliver a massive tonal range

With the Ibanez RG5328’s two DiMarzio Fusion Edge 8 humbucking pickups designed to handle down tuning, you’ll have a massive reservoir of tone on tap. The result of a collaboration between Ibanez and noted pickup maker DiMarzio, Fusion Edge 8 humbuckers deliver a powerful scooped sound with tight, compressed bass response and crisp high-end articulation — ideal for bludgeoning djent chugs and high-speed staccato riffing. Thanks to its 27″ scale length, the low end of this guitar will surprise you. Although it’s definitely a metal machine, the RG5328’s fast playability and tonal variety make it a great guitar for almost any style.

Top-of-the-line Prestige series

Ibanez’s Prestige series is filled with amazing instruments — all with high-quality components through and through. With the RG5328, you get a well-balanced, resonant ash body plus a lightning-fast Wizard-8 neck, dressed with the ultra-smooth Prestige fret-edge treatment. Factor in DiMarzio pickups (a popular after-market upgrade for many players), and the acclaimed Gibraltar bridge, and it’s clear the RG5328 is a premium instrument for serious players.
