Ibanez Quest Standard Series Q54 Electric Guitar, Black Flat

After years of innovation in instrument technology and a growing demand for lighter, more portable guitars, Ibanez introduces the Quest Standard Series Q54 Electric Guitar in a sleek Black Flat finish. This headless guitar is not just a modification of an existing design, but a completely new concept, developed from scratch to offer a unique playing experience.

The Quest series is a testament to Ibanez's commitment to pushing the boundaries of guitar design. It features custom-designed R1 single coil and Q58 humbucker pickups, a new monotone bridge, and a proprietary custom string locking mechanism, all designed to maximize tone, performance, and playing comfort.

The QX subseries is also equipped with innovative 8-degree inward slanted frets, a unique ergonomic feature that benefits highly technical players. This series is versatile enough to attract a wide range of guitarists, from modern, technical players to those who have never considered a headless guitar before.

The Quest series challenges guitarists of all backgrounds to explore the full scope of their creative possibilities. The Wizard C 3pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga neck is designed to meet the demands of various playing styles, offering a neutral shape that is neither too thick, too thin, nor too flat. The 3pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga construction ensures great stability and long-term durability.

The guitar also features a heat-treated Roasted Birdseye Maple fretboard for a balanced attack and rich sustain, and Jescar EVO Gold frets known for their bright tone, gorgeous appearance, and smooth note bending.

The Nyatoh body of the guitar provides a rich mid-low end, while the R1 / Q58 pickup combo, designed specifically for headless guitars, offers a clearly defined sound and excellent tonal balance. The lows are powerful without being muddy, and the highs are bright and clear, but never harsh.

The custom string lock is a one-piece unit that requires less maintenance, is highly durable, and allows for easy string changes. The Mono tune bridges offer a wide intonation range and easy string height adjustment.

The guitar also features the dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch, offering nine sound variations and the ability to switch between humbucker and single coil modes. The guitar comes with a durable Ibanez Gig bag and features an ergonomic body design for maximum playing comfort. Despite its compact and lightweight design, its non-chambered, solid body provides a rich, woody tone.
