RG5328 Lightning Through a Dark

The RG5328 is an eight string RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2019. It was made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale Prestige line.

The RG5328 features an ash body with white binding bolted to a maple and wenge 27-inch scale Wizard-8 neck with a 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard with white binding, mother of pearl dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include a pair of DiMarzio Fusion Edge 8 humbucking pickups, a Gibraltar Standard II-8 fixed bridge, a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, and Gotoh locking tuning machines.

The bridge was changed to the new Gibraltar Standard III-8 fixed bridge for 2025.
