Ibanez Q Series QX527PB-ABS Antique Brown Stained 7-String Headless Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

General

If you want to elevate your playing to a higher level, then you need the right instrument to back you up. This is exactly what Ibanez seek to offer in the Q-Series QX527. Defying all cliches, Ibanez have dropped a unique range of their very own headless electric guitars, each built to provide power alongside speed and the ultimate in playing comfort. As such, this seven-string model has an incredibly lightweight nyatoh body and a five-piece roasted maple and bubinga neck with a Parallel Wizard profile, and that's only the beginning. This refined upstart comes complete with a form-fitting gig bag.

The Ibanez QX52: All Eyes on the Detail

The depth of thought that's gone into the design and build of the Q527 isn't just evident in the roasted birdseye maple fretboard, or the 8° inward tilts of the set of 24 Jescar EVO Gold frets, or the luminescent side dots - as soon as your eye hits the smart Mono-Tune bridge, you have a pretty fair idea of what you've got on your hands. This bridge is able to maintain uber-accurate intonation, even in alternative tunings, and a chunk has even been taken out of the base of the body to make way for the tuners. Meanwhile, the absent headstock has been replaced with a custom string lock which, defying all headless-models that came before it, can take a standard set of strings.

Immense Sonic Options

The two mounted Q58-7 humbuckers have been designed exclusively to suit the needs of the Q-Series guitars. Combined, these passive pickups unleash outstanding definition that gives presence to every note and across the entire frequency spectrum, supporting more technical playing techniques including tapping and fingerstyle. Add on the dyna-MIX527 system and flip the fitted Alter Switch to expand the sonic range even further to a total of no less than ten different settings, spanning everything from light and sparkling cleans to thick and tight distortions.
