Ibanez QX52 Electric Guitar - Metallic Gray Matte

Part of Ibanez’s boundary-pushing Quest series, the QX52 vaunts a headless design built from the ground up to maximize tone, performance, and playing comfort. While this solidbody electric guitar is extremely lightweight, its ergonomic nyatoh body resonates with rich, woody tones that belie its compact profile. Technically minded players will be blown away by the zero-drag feel of the QX52’s Parallel Wizard neck, and its slanted frets make intricate fretboard maneuvers like tapping, fingerstyle, and slapping feel effortless. This headless guitar’s made-to-measure pickups exude amazing levels of articulation and definition that are bolstered by Ibanez’s acclaimed dyna-MIX10 switching system. Rock-solid hardware, including a custom string lock and innovative Mono Tune bridge, ensures easy string changes and ultra-reliable, stage-worthy performance. Stainless steel frets round out the QX52’s generous features. If you’ve been hunting for the perfect headless electric guitar — or even if you’re considering your first headless instrument — the Ibanez QX52 is guaranteed to unlock unlimited creative possibilities.
