Ibanez Q54WR-CNL (Charcoal Brown Low Gloss) [SPOT MODEL]

Q (QUEST) Series Headless -w/Rosewood

Rosewood top, ash body, SSH pickup model.

~The Q model features a "calm" design~
By applying a fine wood veneer to the body top and applying a brown-toned, low-gloss finish, the guitar achieves a design that is both substantial and luxurious, while maintaining a sense of stability and composure.
Taking advantage of the lightness and compactness that are key features of headless guitars, we aimed to create a model that can be placed anywhere without feeling out of place, so that it's easily accessible and playable.


◆Ergonomic body design
It features contouring and cuts throughout to accommodate various playing styles.
Its complex yet refined design promises the best possible playability.

◆Compact and light-weight, yet resonant body
Despite having a solid body, it's surprisingly lightweight and compact.
However, it doesn't lose its rich, warm, woody tone.

◆"R1"/"Q58" SSH pickups
These pickups were designed specifically for the Q. Both are designed to provide a well-balanced sound across all frequencies, making it easy to shape your sound with effects pedals and other equipment. The low frequencies are powerful and clear, while the high frequencies are bright and clear without being harsh, resulting in a pleasant sound. Recommended for those who want to enjoy the sounds of both single-coil and humbucker pickups.

◆Wizard C 3pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga neck
The neck has a standard shape that is neither too thick nor too thin, making it suitable for a variety of playing styles.
The three-piece construction of roasted maple and bubinga wood provides excellent stability and durability.

◆Roasted Birdseye Maple fretboard
The fretboard is made of roasted birdseye maple, which is birdseye maple with a unique pattern resembling a bird's eye, that has been heat-treated. The heat treatment process removes excess moisture and oil from the wood, increasing its strength.

◆Jumbo Stainless Steel Fret
It features excellent maintainability, a fast attack, good separation when playing chords, and a clear sound when playing individual notes.

◆Custom string lock
Ibanez's newly developed Custom String Lock features a simple, integrated design.
It is highly durable, and string replacement is easy.
Furthermore, it doesn't require special strings; you can use your favorite gauge and brand of strings.

◆dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch
With a single flick of a mini-switch, you can easily switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, offering nine different sound variations.
The neck and center single-coil pickups are wired in series to simulate the sound of a 24-fret neck humbucker.
This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who need to perform multiple roles with limited equipment.

◆Mono - Tune bridges
The intonation adjustment range is wide, and it's exceptionally easy to adjust.
By minimizing the number of components that make up the saddle, we have achieved a natural sound that allows the resonance of the guitar body to shine through.

◆Gig Bag for Q model
A bag is essential for carrying things around.
A specially designed gig bag with enhanced protection and medium thickness is included.

[Entirely New Headless Experience - Q (QUEST) Series]
The establishment of technically-driven playing styles, advancements in instrument-making technology, and the ever-growing demand for lightweight, portable guitars have all contributed to the creation of numerous headless guitars, some of which far surpass classical guitar designs.

However, even amidst these advancements, Ibanez believed there was still more potential in this field. And the Q (Quest) series is Ibanez's new headless guitar option. This was not about converting existing models to headless or assembling them with headless parts, but rather a new quest to develop an entirely new guitar from scratch.

We study the playing styles of various players and pursue uniqueness and originality in every aspect, from parts such as pickups, bridges, and string locks to the body design. The result is the Q, a headless guitar that satisfies the insatiable curiosity of guitarists who continue to explore their own possibilities regardless of genre.
