Jescar EVO gold frets round out the Q54’s generous features.

Wizard “C” neck makes complex playing techniques easier

The Q54 was built for high-level, technical playing styles, evidenced by its Wizard “C” neck. Crafted from maple and bubinga, this ultra-stable 3-piece neck offers an extremely neutral feel that’s tailor-made for high-performance fretwork. The Q54’s heat-treated bird’s-eye maple fingerboard not only turns heads, its 12-inch radius yields incredible playability in every position. This headless solidbody electric guitar also includes Jescar EVO gold frets, which ensure long-lasting durability and effortless note bending. Guitarists have found the Q54 to be incredibly versatile — it offers a zero-drag playing experience for technical metal, jazz-rock fusion, and any experimental genre you throw at it. If your personal style involves complex playing techniques, the Q54 will permit you to play cleaner and faster than you ever thought possible.

Made-to-measure pickups yield an endless array of tones

Designed especially for headless guitars, the Ibanez Q54’s Q58 humbucker and R1 single-coil pickups churn out divine sonic textures with astonishing levels of articulation and definition — a must-have for elaborate riffing and intricate, rapid-fire leads. The tonal balance of these pickups is unprecedented throughout the instrument’s entire range. Plug into your favorite amp, and you’ll experience muscular lows that are completely devoid of muddiness and mix-piercing highs that eschew harshness for a sublime-sounding clarity that enables every note within a chord structure to be heard. These pickups exhibit little self-noise, even in high-gain applications, and they play nice with both digital and analog effects. The Q54 incudes dyna-MIX9 switching, which provides nine different pickup combinations via an Alter Switch and 5-way lever switch. No matter the genre, the Q54 can achieve the sound you’re hearing in your head.

State-of-the-art hardware that can withstand aggressive playing styles

The Q54 is teeming with cutting-edge, near-bulletproof hardware. Its custom string lock boast a straightforward one-piece design that’s not only highly durable, but it also requires little maintenance. String changes are a breeze, and because the Q54 doesn’t require a proprietary set of strings, you can use whatever time-tested gauge and brand you’d like. You’ll also appreciate the Mono Tune bridge. This expertly crafted bridge facilitates a wide intonation range, which makes down tuning a piece of cake. This headless guitar’s Mono Tune bridge is also a cinch to adjust, and its streamlined saddle design lends a natural, organic character to every note you play.
