For those seeking a truly innovative guitar that pushes the boundaries of modern design and playability, the Ibanez Q54W is a game-changer. The Q Series represents Ibanez’s quest to reimagine the headless guitar, and the Q54W in Copper Metallic Matte does just that. This isn’t just a guitar stripped of its headstock – it’s an entirely new beast engineered for versatility, comfort, and tonal brilliance.
This headless wonder features a lightweight Nyatoh body, providing a rich, resonant midrange that effortlessly complements the articulate attack of its roasted Birdseye Maple fretboard. Paired with a Wizard C 3-piece roasted Maple/Bubinga neck, you’ll feel the enhanced stability and a smooth, comfortable playing experience, whether you're shredding at lightning speeds or laying down complex chord structures.
Equipped with Ibanez’s proprietary R1 single coil and Q58 humbucker pickups, this S-S-H configuration delivers a dynamic range of tones, from glassy, articulate highs to tight, punchy lows, perfect for both pristine cleans and roaring high-gain riffs. The dyna-MIX9 switching system, complete with an Alter Switch, allows you to explore nine distinct tonal variations, ensuring this guitar is at home in any genre, from technical metal to jazz fusion.
The ergonomic design of the Q54W ensures that extended playing sessions are more comfortable than ever. Its ultra-precise Mono-Tune bridge offers exceptional tuning stability and sustain, while the one-piece custom string lock system simplifies string changes and setup adjustments.
The sound of the Ibanez Q54W can only be described as powerful yet refined, with each note ringing out clearly, even when layered with the heaviest effects. With its innovative design, lightweight construction, and meticulous attention to detail, the Q54W is perfect for modern players looking to transcend the traditional limitations of guitar performance. Inspired by the latest wave of headless guitarists like Ichika Nito, Yvette Young, and Tim Henson, the Q54W empowers you to carve out your unique voice, whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or just exploring new sonic territories at home.
