Ibanez QX54QM Q Series Headless Guitar, Blue Sphere Burst Matte

Full Description

The power is in your hands

The QX54QM Headless Guitar knows no bounds. Loaded with a Q58 humbucker and two R1 single coil pickups, its tone has the power needed to cut through any mix with exceptional definition. You'll have a balanced response across the whole frequency range, whilst crystal-clear articulation ensures that notes of even the beefiest chords are heard. Better still, the R1 pickups deliver exceptionally low noise performance, making them perfect for both digital and analog effects.

Three magnificent pickups aren't enough. If you're a demanding guitarist and you want that adrenaline rush every time you play, the dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch is for you. This innovative creation offers nine thrilling sound variations and allows you to go from humbucker to single coil modes in the blink of an eye. You'll never be short of new, exhilarating tonal possibilities to try.

Sleek body, supreme playability

Epitomising Ibanez's renowned craftsmanship, the QX54QM's nyatoh body has been expertly carved with elegant curves for smooth and comfortable playing. Its ergonomic design is compact and beautifully lightweight, and yet it still produces a richness of tone that encompasses resonant mid-low end frequencies. A quilted maple top then offers stunning clarity and a sublime response to picking techniques, so you know that every note will reach the back of the room perfectly. And to provide a slick fretting-hand experience, the parallel Wizard roasted maple/bubinga neck is 19mm thick all the way down, perfect for guitarists who prefer a higher playing position. Team this with the luscious roasted birdseye maple fretboard and the 8-degree inward slanted frets and you'll be granted dreamy fretting whilst having the perfect balance of attack and sustain.

Your guitar, your way

This Q Series Headless Guitar is equipped with a Mono Tune bridge, an innovative piece of hardware that offers a wide intonation range, giving you incredible tuning options. Better still, you can also effortlessly adjust the string height whilst the saddle, which has less material, delivers a gorgeously organic tone. Custom string lock machine heads then allow for quick, seamless string changes. Say goodbye to the days of wasting time with fiddly contraptions, the custom string lock requires very little maintenance, and no proprietary string is required either, so you can use the brand or gauge that suits you best.
