Product Description

The Q (Quest) Series encompasses Ibanez's most progressive electric guitars to date. Developed from the ground up, these cutting-edge instruments cater for the newest generation of players — those who seek portable, ergonomic tools that can keep up with the increasingly technical and flamboyant styles spreading across modern rock and metal music.

Features for the Forward-Thinking

Headless guitars are pushing far beyond the formulas of the past, and Ibanez has fully embraced this shift in contemporary instrument design with its Q Series. Boasting a number of additional unique elements intended to maximise tone, performance and playing comfort — including custom-made pickups, a 'dyna-MIX' switching system, a highly-adjustable 'Mono Tone' bridge and a proprietary string-locking mechanism — the Q Series makes guitarists of all disciplines question the full scope of their creative potential.

Ibanez Q54 - A Versatile Tone Machine!

Ibanez's Q54 model will satisfy any headless guitar enthusiast, but with its straight-fret fingerboard and flexible HSS pickup configuration — it's arguably the most accessible, all-round instrument in the lineup. A brilliant option for players who may have never even considered a headless guitar before, the Q54 will easily captivate any musician that picks it up!

Key Features

  • Ergonomic Q Series Design — The compact, lightweight body features a number of strategically-placed curves on both the top and back; boosting comfort. Headless neck reduces total instrument length to just 80 centimetres!
  • Nyatoh Body — An ideal tonal foundation for the versatile HSS pickup layout; offering a rich mid-range and tight low-end.
  • Roasted Maple/Bubinga Neck — 3-piece construction ensures rock-solid stability in changeable climates and conditions.
  • Wizard "C" Profile — Neutral shape caters for various playing styles; it’s not too thick, too thin, or too flat.
  • Roasted Birdseye Maple Fretboard — Heat-treated for a balanced attack and rich sustain. Has plenty of exotic flair too!
  • 24 Jescar EVO Gold Frets — Material is renowned for its durability, vibrant tone and silky-smooth feel; allowing for effortless string bending.
  • Luminescent Side Dots — Glow-in-the-dark markers will always let you know where you're at, even on the most ill-lit stages!
  • Custom String Lock — 1-piece unit features a very simple design; meaning less maintenance, great longevity and easy string changes. No specialised string is required, so you can continue to use your favourite gauge and brand!
  • Mono Tune Bridge — Provides a wide intonation range; making it straightforward to set the instrument up for drop-tunings. String height is also easily adjustable.
  • Proprietary Q58 & R1 Pickups — Designed specifically for the Q Series, these pickups deliver a clearly-defined sound; facilitating excellent balance through all frequencies.
  • dyna-MIX9 Switching System — Offers 9 pickup variations for a wide sonic palette. Can switch between humbucker and single-coil modes with just a flick of the mini alter switch!
  • Included Gig Bag — Durable construction protects the guitar against knocks on the road.

Mr. Paul McCaffrey25th Oct 2023

I bought this to complete the set and I like it much less than the Q52 or the Ichi 10. It does share all the ergonomic advantages of those other guitars in terms of weight, playability and build quality

Ibanez headless is an amazing instrument. Action is so low with zero fret buzz, it weighs nothing, sound is amazing and it's so ergonomic. If you're looking for a headless guitar I can wholly recommend this one - it's a dream to play.

so well engineered, it just feels right out of the box, the pickups sound great & the definition even overdriven is crystal clear, Iv'e put on lighter strings & lowered the action just for personal preference & it play's like a dream, anyone looking for a headless guitar would do well to check these out, I think they are a game changer
