The Ibanez Q52PE Q Standard headless guitar represents a cutting-edge trend in instrument design. This bold model eschews traditional headstocks in favor of a sleek, compact and portable silhouette that maximizes playing comfort and stage presence. Its ultramodern aesthetic houses a wealth of premium tonewoods and appointments engineered to provide serious musicians exceptional sound and feel. Today’s progressive rock and metal enthusiasts crave uniquely innovative tools to keep up with their ever-evolving approach to the instrument, and the Ibanez Q52PE headless guitar offers an advanced platform for limitless musical expression.

Ibanez Q52PE Standard Headless 6-String Guitar

Ergonomic Headless Body Redefines Playability

At first glance, the Q52PE’s headless design is an eye-catching departure from convention. But this forward-thinking approach also yields undeniable benefits for your playing experience. Without a headstock, the guitar’s weight is more evenly balanced for enhanced comfort during long sessions. The compact, asymmetrical body shape also allows unencumbered access to the highest frets, and you’ll have unrestricted freedom of movement on stage without a headstock jutting out. Whether you’re a modern shredder or an open-minded traditionalist, the Q52PE’s innovative form factor offers a refreshing feel.

Ibanez Q52PE Standard Pale Moon Ebony Top

Multidimensional Tonewoods Produce Bold Sound

While the Q52PE explores unbeaten paths, it’s still built on a foundation of premium woods to satisfy discerning players’ tonal demands. The stunning pale moon ebony top exhibits a gorgeous, unique grain pattern while imbuing the sound with a focused midrange and articulate high end. Combined with the nyatoh body’s rich low-end response, you’re rewarded with a full, balanced frequency spectrum, so the Ibanez Q52PE is never lacking where it counts most—sonically.

Ibanez Q52PE Standard Wizard C Roasted Maple and Bubinga Neck

Precision-Crafted Roasted Maple/Bubinga Neck

The foundation of the Q52PE’s boundary-pushing performance is a 3-piece roasted maple/bubinga neck with an ebony fretboard. Its Wizard C shape boasts a supremely versatile profile tailored for virtually any playing style, utilizing an adaptable 12" radius for equal comfort chording and soloing. Roasted maple lends the neck outstanding stability and resonance, while warm bubinga flatteringly rounds off ebony’s bright, focused attack. Premium jumbo Jescar EVOgold frets enhance the fingerboard’s playability further with their smooth bending feel and brilliant tone. Plus, their elegant aesthetic looks ultraclassy against the fretboard’s dark grain, and they even match the lighter sections of the pale moon ebony top.

Ibanez Q52PE Standard Q58 Humbuckers

Q58 Pickups and dyna-MIX10 Switching Unlock Boundless Tones

To match its forward-thinking design, the Ibanez Q52PE is equipped with equally innovative electronics. The Q58 humbuckers were tailor-made for headless Ibanez instruments, reproducing every string’s nuance with exceptional clarity. From rich, singing lead tones to chunky, percussive rhythms, these pickups deliver dynamic timbre across the full spectrum. And the dyna-MIX10 switching system provides a vast array of split-coil and parallel configurations to further expand your tonal palette. Whether you need pristine cleans or raunchy high-gain grind, the Q52PE’s electronics have you covered.

With its ingenious headless construction, premium woods and appointments, and versatile electronics suite, the Ibanez Q52PE Q Standard represents the vanguard of modern instrument design. Session players, gigging guitarists or simply anyone who loves writing and recording at home can leverage the Q52PE’s portability, comfort and sonic variety to bring their ideas to fruition. Don’t sleep on this Ibanez Q Standard electric—with limited quantities, it won’t be here for long.
