Headless electric guitars from the Q (Quest) series represent a completely new concept within the Japanese brand Ibanez. In addition to the headless design, it offers a variety of features, i.e. a lightweight ergonomically shaped body, R1 and Q58 pickups specially developed for the Q series and mechanics (String Lock, Mono-Tune) that maximize the instrument’s sound quality and playing comfort.
The body of the seven-string QX527PB is made of nyatoh wood and a spectacular poplar root veneer. A five-piece heat-treated (or, if you prefer, baked) maple neck and exotic bubinga fingerboard are glued to a grafted maple fingerboard (also heat-treated) fitted with twenty-four Jescar EVO Gold frets. The 8-degree fret angles cater to the modern player, with the matching fretboard ideally suited to the tilt of the hand when playing finger technique, tapping or slapping. Orientation on the fingerboard surface is facilitated by pearl position and side luminescent dots.
