Ibanez Q52FMG Headless Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Natural

Part of Ibanez’s boundary-pushing Quest series, the Q52FMG 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 ash body, which is capped by a head-turning flame maple top, resonates with rich, woody tones that belie its compact profile. Technically minded players will be blown away by the zero-drag feel of the Q52FMG’s Wizard C neck, and its heat-treated bird’s-eye maple fingerboard is as playable as it is visually appealing. 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 Q52FMG’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 Q52FMG is guaranteed to unlock unlimited creative possibilities. Designed especially for headless guitars, the Ibanez Q52FMG’s Q58 humbuckers 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 Q52FMG includes dyna-MIX10 switching, which provides 10 different pickup combinations via an Alter Switch and a 5-way lever switch. No matter the genre, the Q52FMG can achieve the sound you’re hearing in your head. The Q52FMG is teeming with cutting-edge, near-bulletproof hardware. Its custom string lock boasts a straightforward 1-piece design that’s highly durable and requires little maintenance. String changes are a breeze, and because the Q52FMG 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 simple to adjust, and its streamlined saddle design lends a natural, organic character to every note you play.
