Agile Design with 8° Slanted Frets

Thanks to its flat shaping with generous contours, the lightweight Nyatoh body of the Ibanez Q52 sits perfectly on the player and also takes up a balanced position on the strap. The comfortable Parallel Wizard profile of the three-piece neck made of Roasted Maple and Bubinga promises extremely agile playing characteristics, so that the most complex runs and chord voicings can be achieved with ease on the 24-fret Roasted Birdseye Maple fingerboard. The 8° angled frets also offer players who prefer a high position of their guitar, a high comfort when gripping all strings.

Q58 pickups with dyna-MIX10 circuitry

The electrical tone conversion of the Quest QX52 Guitar is handled by two Ibanez Q58 humbuckers with Alnico magnets, whose sound characteristics are perfectly tuned to the modern styles of rock and fusion. With a perfect balance across all frequency ranges and the defined sound image, the pickups represent every note played, so that even complex chords are reproduced with perfect string separation. The innovative dyna-MIX10 circuit with 5-way blade switch and Alter Switch provides ten different combinations of pickups for extensive timbres.

Perfectly tuned hardware

The hardware of the Ibanez Standard QX52 was also perfectly matched to the instrument and the demands of modern guitarists. On the reduced headstock sits an Ibanez Custom String Lock, which guarantees a secure hold of the strings and supports quick string changes. On the body, on the other hand, Ibanez Mono-Tune individual bridges are placed, which not only guarantee optimal adjustment of intonation and string position, but also ensure accurate and stable tuning through the integrated tuning mechanism.
