With new developments in instrument technology, the prominence of more technical playing styles, and players’ desire for lighter, more portable instruments, today’s headless guitars are pushing far beyond designs of the past. However, even with all these advancements, Ibanez still saw an exciting opportunity in this space. The Q or Quest series is an entirely new concept for Ibanez. The “Quest” in this case was to not just to adapt an existing instrument into a headless design, but to develop an entirely new guitar from the ground up. This range features a number of unique elements intended to maximize tone, performance, and playing comfort. These include, custom designed R1 single coil and Q58 humbucker pickups, a new Mono-Tune bridge, and a proprietary custom string locking mechanism. The QX subseries is also equipped with innovative 8-degree inward slanted frets, uniquely tailoring their ergonomics to the benefit of highly technical players. Ultimately, this series offers a diverse and versatile enough feature set to attract not only the modern, technical guitarist, but also players who may have never even considered a headless guitar before. Regardless of genre, Q (Quest) allows guitarists of every background to question the full scope of their creative possibilities.
The Q547 7-string electric guitar from Ibanez's cutting-edge Quest line boasts a headless design that was created from the bottom up to maximize tone, performance, and playing comfort. This solidbody electric guitar's ergonomic nyatoh body resonates with rich, woody tones that belie its small size despite being quite light. The Q547's Wizard C neck has zero drag, which will amaze technically inclined players, and its heat-treated bird's-eye maple fingerboard is both playable and aesthetically pleasing. The custom-built pickups on this headless guitar have incredible levels of articulation and definition, and Ibanez's renowned dyna-MIX9 switching mechanism further supports their adaptable HSS arrangement. Easy string changes and incredibly dependable, stage-worthy performance are guaranteed by sturdy hardware, which includes a unique string lock and the revolutionary Mono Tune bridge. The spacious features of the Q547 are completed by Jescar EVO gold frets. The Ibanez Q547 is certain to unleash countless creative possibilities whether you've been looking for the ideal headless electric guitar, or even if you're thinking about purchasing your first headless instrument.
