Q547PB
With new developments in instrument technology, the predominance of more technical playing styles, and players' desire for lighter, more portable instruments, today's headless guitars go far beyond past designs. However, even with all these advances, Ibanez saw an exciting opportunity in this space. The Q or Quest series is an entirely new concept for Ibanez. It was not just about adapting an existing instrument to a headless design, but about developing a completely new guitar from scratch. This range features a number of unique elements aimed at optimizing tone, performance, and playing comfort. These include R1 single-coil and Q58 humbucking pickups, a new Mono-Tune bridge, and a custom exclusive string lock mechanism. The QX sub-series is also equipped with innovative frets angled 8 degrees inward, allowing the guitar's ergonomics to suit highly technical players' needs. Ultimately, this series offers a sufficiently varied and versatile set of features to appeal not only to modern, technical guitarists but also to players who may never have considered a headless guitar before. Whatever the genre, the Q (Quest) enables guitarists from all backgrounds to explore the extent of their creative possibilities.
Key Features
Wizard C 5pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga Neck
To meet the demands of different playing styles, this Wizard C neck has a very neutral shape neither too thick, too thin, nor too flat. The 5-piece roasted maple/bubinga construction also provides great stability and long-term durability.
Roasted Maple Fingerboard
The stunning roasted maple fingerboard gives this model an exotic look. The fingerboard is thermally treated for balanced attack and rich sustain.
Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets
Stainless steel frets offer excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall frets provide quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords, as well as clear tone when playing single notes.
Poplar Top / Nyatoh Body
The poplar top features an exotic wood grain, while the nyatoh body delivers rich midrange and bass frequencies.
R1 / Q58 S-S-H Pickups
The R1 / Q58 pickup combination is specifically designed for headless guitars. They provide a clearly defined sound, facilitating excellent tonal balance across all frequencies. The lows are powerful without being muddy, and the highs are clear and bright but never harsh. As a result, every note in chord structures is well defined and clearly audible. These pickups, with their tonal balance and extremely low noise level, work very well with both digital and analog effects.
Custom String Lock
This custom string lock is a single-piece unit featuring a very simple construction. This means the hardware requires less maintenance, is highly durable, and allows for very easy string changes. Additionally, no proprietary strings are needed, letting you continue using your preferred gauge and brand.
Mono-Tune Bridges
Mono-Tune bridges offer a wide intonation range, making it easy to adjust the instrument for detuning by a whole step or more. String height is also easily adjustable, and each saddle generally uses less material, resulting in a more natural and organic tone.
dyna-MIX9 Switching System with Alter Switch
The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine tonal variations and allows switching from humbucker mode to single-coil mode with a simple press of the mini-toggle switch. One mode even simulates a humbucker sound by combining two single-coil pickups.
Luminous Side Dots
Luminous side dots allow musicians to easily see position markers on the fingerboard when performing on dark stages.
Included Gig Bag
The guitar comes with a specially designed Ibanez gig bag to protect the instrument.
