With new developments in guitar technology, the advent of ever more technical playing styles, and players' desire for lighter, more portable instruments, today's headless guitars go far beyond the designs of the past.
However, despite all these advances, Ibanez still saw an exciting opportunity in this area. The Q or Quest series is an entirely new concept for Ibanez. In this case, the "quest" was not only to adapt an existing instrument into a headless design, but to develop a completely new guitar from scratch.
Within this series are a number of unique elements designed to maximize sound, performance and playing comfort. These include the specially developed R1 single coil and Q58 humbucker pickups, a new mono tune bridge and a specially developed string securing mechanism. The QX sub-series also features innovative 8-degree inward frets that offer unique ergonomics for the more technical player.
Ultimately, this series offers such a diverse and versatile feature set that it appeals not only to the modern, tech-savvy guitarist, but also to players who may never have considered a headless guitar. Regardless of genre, Q (Quest) allows guitarists of all backgrounds to explore the full extent of their creative possibilities.
