The Ibanez Standard QX52-MGM Metallic Gray Matte is a modern headless electric guitar with extensive optimizations for adept playing techniques and multi-faceted sounds.
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 adopts 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 frets, which are angled at 8°, also offer players who prefer a high position for their guitar a high level of comfort when fingering all strings.
Q58 pickups with dyna-MIX10 circuitry
Two Ibanez Q58 humbuckers with Alnico magnets are responsible for the electrical sound conversion of the Quest QX52 guitar. Their sound characteristics are perfectly matched to the modern styles of rock and fusion. With a perfect balance across all frequency ranges and a defined sound image, the pickups reproduce 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 sound colours.
Perfectly tuned hardware
The Hardware of the Ibanez Standard QX52 has also been perfectly matched to the instrument and the demands of modern guitarists. The reduced headstock features an Ibanez CustomString 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 optimum adjustment of intonation and string action but also ensure precise and stable Tuningtuning thanks to the integrated tuning mechanism.
