Ibanez QX527PB ABS Quest - antique brown stained
IBANEZ Quest QX527 ABS headless seven strings (standard 25.5" scale) solid body electric guitar features Nyatoh body, bolt-on neck, 24 frets roasted Maple fretboard (25.5" scale) and fixed bridge.
Ibanez Q58 passive pickups (ceramic magnets) plus Ibanez Dyna-MIX10 switching offer tremendous sonic possibilities.
The Quest series carries with it all of the hallmarks of these tried and tested Ibanez qualities : the smooth neck grip, the well balanced ergonomical body shape, and the neck heel allowing unrivaled playability.
All of the frets are equally slanted at an 8-degree angle. Many contemporary players tend to favor a much higher playing positon to execute more effectively, highly technical and intricate techniques like tapping, finger style, and even occasional bass-inspired slap riff. This higher position results in the four fretting fingers naturally tilting slightly inwards. This 8-degree inward tilt of the frets perfectly accommodates this and offers a more natural feeling and comfortably playing guitar.
The Q58 pickup combo is designed specifically for use in headless guitars. They provide a clearly defined sound, facilitating excellent tonal balance through all frequencies. The lows are powerful without being muddy, and the highs are bright and clear, but never harsh. As a result, every single note within the chord structure is well defined, and clearly audible. These pickups, with their tonal balance, and extremely low noise performance, work extremely well with both digital and analog effects.
The Mono-Tune bridges offer a wide intonation range so that you can easily set the instrument up for tuning down a whole step or even further. The string height is also easily adjustable, and each saddle generally has less material, which leads to more natural and organic tone.
