Ibanez 2026: The new Alpha Series takes a Page from Tosin Abasi
Before we get to the updates of Ibanez’ popular series, let’s first take a look at the highlight of Ibanez 2026: the new Alpha series. There are two 8-string and two 7-string multi-scale models, respectively. Noticeable highlights are the neck profile (Parallel Wizard AS), the angled pickups (Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, Ceramic at the bridge and Alnico at the neck), and the color choices.
You get Iron Pewter* (black) and Coral Mirage* (pink-ish) for the 8-string models, and Nebula Shift* (blue) and Iron Pewter* as well for the 7-string guitars of the series.

Ibanez 2026 RG: IV2RG Visions
Ibanez’s arguably most popular series, RG, has also received a host of new models. The most luxurious and visually striking new model is the IV2RG Vision. Thomann has the model in high-gloss green* in stock, and it’s just a feast for the eyes. Matte gold hardware, stunning “Tree of Life” inlays, black limba body, three DiMarzio pickups… Sigh, one day, one day.
It looks to me like the RG series has received the most new models in Ibanez 2026. There are too many to list here, but there are quite a few beauties!
Even icier Iceman models!
And let’s not forget these magnificent new Iceman guitars! Visually, they’re the icing on the Ibanez 2026 cake, to me at least. Thomann has two of the new models in stock: Violin Suburst* and Transparent Blue Gradiation*. These models come with Okoumé bodies and necks, bound jatoba fretboards, and two Super 80 humbuckers.
In addition, there are two new bass models in the Iceman series. There is the Black Flat* model with two Bartolini BH2 humbuckers, and you also get a model in beautiful Cosmic Blue Starburst* with two Nordstrand Big Break humbuckers.
