With the Ibanez Standard Q52-LBM Quest Laser Blue Matte the Japanese guitar giant sends an agile headless electric guitar into the race, which is optimally tuned to the demands of modern guitarists and their extremely adept playing technique. The guitar's high ergonomics are enhanced by a flat body design and an extremely agile neck, while Q58 humbuckers with dyna-MIX10 circuitry deliver multi-faceted tones for avant-garde rock, metal and fusion. Innovative Mono-Tune bridges and an Ibanez Custom String Lock complete the standard Q52 from Ibanez's Quest Series.
Thanks to its flat shaping with generous contours, the lightweight Nyatoh body of the Ibanez Q52 sits perfectly on the player and also takes up a balanced position on the strap. The rounded Wizard C profile of the three-piece neck made of Roasted Maple and Bubinga promises extremely agile playing characteristics, so that on the 24-fret Roasted Birdseye Maple fingerboard the most complex runs and chord voicings succeed with ease.
The electrical tone conversion of the Quest Q52 Guitar is handled by two Ibanez Q58 humbuckers with Alnico magnets, whose sound characteristics are perfectly tuned to the modern styles of rock and fusion. With a perfect balance across all frequency ranges and the defined sound image, the pickups represent every note played, so that even complex chords are reproduced with perfect string separation. The innovative dyna-MIX10 circuit with 5-way blade switch and Alter Switch provides ten different combinations of pickups for extensive timbres.
The hardware of the Ibanez Standard Q52 was also perfectly matched to the instrument and the demands of modern guitarists. On the reduced headstock sits an Ibanez Custom String Lock, which guarantees a secure hold of the strings and supports quick string changes. On the body, on the other hand, Ibanez Mono-Tune individual bridges are placed, which not only guarantee optimal adjustment of intonation and string position, but also ensure accurate and stable tuning through the integrated tuning mechanism.
Great headless guitar with features of more expensive instruments. Playability is great and it is very light
