A brand new headless guitar, a slant-fret model from the QX series, a used item! Entirely New Headless Experience - Q (QUEST) Series The establishment of technically-driven playing styles, advancements in instrument-making technology, and the ever-growing demand for lightweight, portable guitars have all contributed to the creation of numerous headless guitars, some of which far surpass classical guitar designs. However, even amidst these advancements, Ibanez believed there was still more potential in this field. And the Q (Quest) series is Ibanez's new headless guitar option. This was not about converting existing models to headless or assembling them with headless parts, but rather a new quest to develop an entirely new guitar from scratch. We study the playing styles of various players and pursue uniqueness and originality in every aspect, from parts such as pickups, bridges, and string locks to the body design. The result is the Q, a headless guitar that satisfies the insatiable curiosity of guitarists who continue to explore their own possibilities regardless of genre. Features: Ergonomic body design Featuring contouring and cutouts throughout to accommodate various playing styles, this guitar boasts a complex yet refined design that promises superior playability. Compact and light weight, yet resonant body Despite having a solid body, it's surprisingly lightweight and compact. However, it doesn't compromise on its rich, warm, woody tone. Quilted Maple top / Nyatoh body The body top is made of quilted maple, which offers quick picking response and beautiful grain. The body is made of nyatoh wood, which has excellent characteristics in the rich mid-low frequency range. Parallel Wizard 3pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga neck The Parallel Wizard neck maintains a consistent 19mm thickness throughout its length. This provides surprisingly easy fingering for players who hold their guitar high. Furthermore, its 3-piece construction of roasted maple and bubinga ensures excellent stability and durability. Slanted frets All frets are evenly sloped at an 8-degree angle. Many modern players tend to hold their guitars high to perform advanced and complex techniques such as tapping, fingerstyle, and slap. When held high, the four fingers pressing down on the strings naturally tilt slightly inward. The frets are sloped to fit this, allowing for a more natural playing feel. "R1" and "Q58" SSH pickups This pickup features an SSH configuration, combining the "R1" single-coil pickup and the "Q58" humbucker pickup, both designed specifically for the Q series. Both pickups are engineered to provide a well-balanced sound across all frequencies, making them easy to use with effects pedals. The low frequencies are powerful and clear, while the high frequencies are bright and clear without being harsh, resulting in a pleasant sound. Furthermore, its low noise makes it perfectly compatible with both digital and analog effects pedals. Recommended for those who want to enjoy the sounds of both single-coil and humbucker pickups. dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch With a single flick of a mini-switch, you can easily switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, offering nine different sound variations. The neck and center single-coil pickups are wired in series, simulating the sound of a 24-fret neck humbucker. This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who need to perform multiple roles with limited equipment. Custom cord lock Ibanez's newly developed Custom String Lock features a simple, one-piece design. It offers excellent durability and makes string changes easy. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for special strings, allowing you to use your favorite gauge and brand of strings. Mono Tune Bridges The wide range of intonation adjustments makes it easy to set down tunings of one whole tone or even further. String height adjustment is also simple. By minimizing the number of parts that make up the saddle, a natural sound that allows the guitar's body to resonate to its fullest potential is achieved. A popular, compact, headless model!
