Parallel Wizard AS 5pc Maple/Walnut neck
This Parallel Wizard AS neck has a more rounded shape towards the bass side, while still retaining the even thickness of the 21mm across all positions. This asymmetric shape provides a more comfortable grip and natural feel that makes techniques like sweeping and string skipping much easier. 5pc Maple/Walnut neck material provides tonal clarity and superior attack.

Ebony fretboard
Ebony produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain.

Jumbo Stainless Steel frets
Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes.

American Basswood body
The American Basswood body delivers a natural and flat tone.

Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker Alnico / Fluence™ Modern Humbucker Ceramic pickups
The Fishman® Fluence™ Modern Humbucker pickups provide an aggressive tone and a powerful attack without excess noise.

Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads
The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.

Mono-rail G2 bridge
Mono-rail construction transfers string resonance to the body with least interference and provides superb note separation; The innovative Ibanez Mono-rail G2 bridge is also capable for either string-through-body or top-loading string installation.

Fishman® Fluence™ Voicing switch
The Voicing switch allows the pickups to switch from a modern, active high output sound to a crisp, clean and fluid sound.

Luminescent side dots
The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.

Gig bag included
It comes with Ibanez gig bag which is designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument.

Ergonomic Elbow contour
The Alpha's elbow contour is sculpted to a slight scoop shape right at the part where the player's arm touches the body. This design improves the fit between the guitar body and the player's arm, further stabilizes the picking hand.
