Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Unleash the Power of Eight with the Ibanez Prestige RG5328 Electric Guitar

Dive into a world of thundering riffs and dynamic solos with the Ibanez Prestige RG5328, now available at Irvine Art and Music. Crafted for the rock and metal virtuosos, this 8-string powerhouse boasts a resonant, lightweight ash body with a striking satin finish. The 5-piece maple/wenge neck, adorned with a Macassar ebony fingerboard, sports an ultra-responsive Wizard-8 profile — a shredder's dream. Packed with a pair of DiMarzio Fusion Edge 8 humbucking pickups, this guitar delivers searing tones that cut through any mix.

Gibraltar Standard II-8 Bridge: Stability and Sustain The RG5328 features the Gibraltar Standard II-8 bridge, a hallmark of stability and sustain. This fixed bridge design ensures maximum string-to-body transfer, anchoring securely to the body. Its low profile and smooth surface offer exceptional comfort, providing your picking hand with optimal clearance for lightning-fast techniques. The Gibraltar Standard II-8 is a preferred choice for high-performance guitarists seeking precision and reliability.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge 8 Pickups: Expansive Tonal Palette Collaboratively engineered by Ibanez and renowned pickup maker DiMarzio, the Fusion Edge 8 humbuckers are tailor-made for down-tuned mayhem. These pickups deliver a robust, scooped sound with tight, punchy bass response and articulate high-end clarity — perfect for executing thunderous djent riffs and rapid-fire staccato phrases. With a 27" scale length, the low end packs a surprising punch. While it excels in metal, the RG5328's versatile playability and tonal versatility make it a stellar choice for a wide range of styles.

Top-tier Prestige Series Craftsmanship The RG5328 hails from Ibanez's esteemed Prestige series, known for its uncompromising quality and top-notch components. Boasting a well-balanced ash body, a lightning-quick Wizard-8 neck treated with the ultra-smooth Prestige fret-edge finishing, and powerhouse DiMarzio pickups, this guitar is a premium instrument designed for serious players.

Elevate your sound with the Ibanez Prestige RG5328 Electric Guitar - Lightning Through A Dark, exclusively at Irvine Art and Music.
