Ibanez Q Series Headless Guitars

Ibanez Q Series Headless Guitars

Ibanez's Q Series was developed from the ground up. With the Japanese brand embracing the shift to contemporary "headless" guitar design, the Quest lineup will appeal strongly to the latest generation — those who seek compact and comfortable guitars that can keep up with the increasingly technical and flamboyant styles spreading across modern rock and metal music.

Apart from their ergonomic allure, these models also boast a number of additional unique elements in order to maximise tone, performance and playability. This includes proprietary pickups, 'dyna-MIX' switching systems, highly-adjustable 'Mono Tone' bridges and custom string-locking mechanisms.

While the Ibanez Q Series will satisfy any headless guitar enthusiast, these instruments make players of all disciplines question the full scope of their creative potential. The standard Q Series models are the most accessible, with their straight-fret fingerboards offering a familiar feel for traditionalists. The QX sub-series allows more adventurous and technically-proficient guitarists to make full use of their skills — featuring flat-radius, 8-degree slanted-fret fingerboards that accommodate the natural inward tilt of your fingers.
