This provides surprisingly easy fingering for players who hold their guitar high. Furthermore, its 3-piece construction of roasted maple and bubinga ensures excellent stability and durability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Slanted frets\u003cbr\u003e All frets are evenly sloped at an 8-degree angle. Many modern players tend to hold their guitars high to perform advanced and complex techniques such as tapping, fingerstyle, and slap. When held high, the four fingers pressing down on the strings naturally tilt slightly inward. The frets are sloped to fit this, allowing for a more natural playing feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • \"Q58\" HH pickups\u003cbr\u003e The \"Q58\" humbucker pickup, developed specifically for the Q series, is configured in an HH configuration. It's designed to provide a well-balanced sound across all frequencies, making it easy to shape your sound with effects pedals. The low frequencies are powerful and clear, while the high frequencies are clear yet mellow. Furthermore, its low noise makes it perfectly compatible with both digital and analog effects pedals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch\u003cbr\u003e With a single flick of a mini-switch, you can easily switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, offering 10 different sound variations.\u003cbr\u003e In Power Tap mode, a special wiring technique is employed that taps one coil while enhancing the low-frequency range of the other coil, resulting in a clear high-frequency range and a thick, well-defined sound that cannot be achieved with simple tapping.\u003cbr\u003e This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who need to perform multiple roles with limited equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Custom string lock\u003cbr\u003e Ibanez's newly developed Custom String Lock features a simple, integrated design.\u003cbr\u003e It offers excellent durability, and string replacement is easy. Furthermore, it doesn't require special strings; you can use your favorite gauge and brand of strings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mono - Tune bridges\u003cbr\u003e The wide range of intonation adjustments makes it easy to set down tunings of one whole tone or even further. String height adjustment is also simple. By minimizing the number of parts that make up the saddle, a natural sound that allows the guitar's body to resonate to its fullest potential is achieved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【QUEST Series】\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, even with these advancements, Ibanez still believed there was further potential in this field.\u003cbr\u003e And this Q (Quest) series is Ibanez's new headless guitar option.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This, of course, meant not simply converting existing models to headless designs or assembling parts for headless guitars, but rather embarking on a new quest to develop an entirely new guitar from scratch.\u003cbr\u003e We study the playing styles of various players and pursue uniqueness and originality in everything from parts such as pickups, bridges, and string locks to the body design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thus, the Q was born—a headless guitar that satisfies the insatiable curiosity of guitarists who continue to pursue their own potential regardless of genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *The image is a sample.
