Ibanez QX527PE-NTF Electric Guitar

Ibanez QX527PE-NTF

A 7-string, headless, solid body electric guitar with a natural flat finish. The guitar has a modern Strat body shape, a bolt neck construction, and a Nyatoh body with a Pale Moon Ebenholz top. The neck is made of 5-piece roasted maple and bubinga, and the fretboard is ebony. It also has a Parallel Wizard-75pc neck and a Mother of Pearl Step. The QX527PE-NTF comes with a gig bag.

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.
