Ibanez / QX52-BKF Black Flat [Quest Series] Ibanez [80]

The "Q" (Quest) series, a completely new headless guitar !

The "Q" series was created by studying the playing styles of various players and pursuing uniqueness and originality 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 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. It features contours and cuts throughout to suit a variety of playing styles. The complex yet sophisticated design ensures maximum playability.

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. In addition, 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 "Q58" humbucker pickups, developed specifically for the "Q," are mounted in an H-H arrangement. The pickups are designed to sound well-balanced in all bands so that the sound can be easily made up with effects pedals, etc. The low frequency range is powerful without being muddy, and the high frequency range is balanced with the low end. The low frequency range is powerful without being muddy, and the high frequency range is clear yet mellow. It is also low noise and works well with both digital and analog effectors.
The "dyna-MIIX10" switching system allows the user to switch between humbucker and single coil modes at will with the flip of a mini-switch, giving the user 10 different sound variations.
