Ibanez / QX54QM-BSM Blue Sphere Burst Matte [03]

A completely new headless guitar, the "Q" (Quest) series is now available!

After studying the playing styles of various players, we pursued originality and uniqueness in everything from pickups, bridge, string locks, and other parts to the design of the body.
The resulting "Q" is a headless guitar that satisfies the relentless quest of guitarists who continue to pursue their own possibilities regardless of genre.

The body top is made of quilted maple for fast picking response and beautiful grain. The body is made of Nyato wood, which has excellent midrange and bass characteristics.
Despite its solid body, it is surprisingly lightweight and compact. However, the full, warm, woody tone is not lost.

The "Parallel Wizard neck" has a consistent neck thickness of 19mm throughout its length. This provides surprisingly easy fingering and playability for players who hold the guitar high. The 3pc construction of roasted maple and bubinga provides excellent stability and durability.

Slanted frets" for high playability, with all frets slanted evenly at an 8-degree angle. The frets are slanted to fit advanced and complex techniques, allowing the player to play with a more natural feel.

The S-S-H arrangement combines the R1 single-coil pickup and the Q58 humbucker pickup, both designed for the "Q". Both pickups are designed to sound well-balanced across the entire frequency range, making it easy to create sounds with effects pedals and other devices. The low frequency range is powerful without being muddy, and the high frequency range is bright and clear, yet not "tinny" and grating. It is also low noise and works well with both digital and analog effects pedals. Recommended for those who want to enjoy both single coil and humbucker sounds. The unique "dyna-MIX9" switching system in the controls allows you to switch between humbucker and single coil modes at will with the flip of a mini-switch, giving you 9 different sound variations.
