Ibanez RG5328 Prestige, Lightning Through A Dark

Full Description

First-Rate Fusion Edge

Find the fire within. DiMarzio's Fusion Edge pickups are burning with hot tone which exudes quality and class. With an excellent response to your playing, they will emit a tight, crisp sound which will help you express your music with clarity and purpose. Whether you're playing the lowest strings or the highest frets, every note will have cutting punch and full articulation.

Stellar results, every time. Made to handle the extended range of an eight string guitar, these DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups will bring out the RG5328's full potential. They make it possible to use it anywhere and sound great, be it your bedroom, the stage, or a recording studio. The three way pickup selector combined with a coil tap switch to reduce the humbuckers' output makes for a huge array of tonal options, which you can use to mould your sound. With the humbuckers tapped, you can instantly change from a high output, powerful tone, to a crunchier, vintage style tone, which will be incredibly useful live.

Eight String Expertise

They are the future. Eight string guitars have been used by a significant number of artists around the world, including Tosin Abasi, Stephen Carter, and Rob Scallon. Their extended range gives them a level of musical versatility which opens up far more possibilities compared to six or even seven string guitars. If you’re looking for some extra low note inspiration as well as a quality instrument with professional standard features, then the RG5328 has everything you need.

Reduced to Ash

Resonating with brilliance. Being made from ash, this guitar has plenty of tonal brightness which is works exceptionally well with high gain settings. This means you'll find the attack to be intense and satisfying, giving your tone plenty of saturation and bite. The sustain is exceptional, making each note or chord reverberate for as long as you like. Ash also has more than enough warmth to sound pristine through a clean channel, so you'll have plenty of room to experiment and find your perfect sound. With a resonance which emits a balanced response across the frequency spectrum, this guitar is a master of sound.

As fast as a firebolt. The neck may be chunky, but being a Wizard-8 it is also unbelievably playable, making access to all frets completely effortless. It is crafted from maple and wenge wood, with the maple adding to the guitar's bright tone. The wenge emphasises more of the mid-range and low mid-range frequencies. Combined with a bound Macassar ebony fretboard, the overall sound emitted from these tonewoods is astounding.

Total Stability

A robust renegade. The jumbo stainless steel frets (with Prestige fret edge treatment) not only hold up to all kind of aggressive string bends and playing, but also enhance tone. With a Gibraltar Standard II-8 bridge and Gotoh MG-T locking machienheads keeping the RG5328's tuning completely steady, your sound will always ring true. If you ever find yourself holding this guitar in total darkness, rest assured, you'll still be able to play with precision. It has luimnlay side dots which glow in the dark, allowing you see each fret clearly in darker settings. With a black, organic finish, this guitar has a sleek, imposing, professional look, and its sound will take your breath away.
