Ibanez Q Standard 7-String Electric Guitar Natural Flat

The Ibanez QX527PE Q Standard 7-string electric guitar represents a bold trend in guitar design and performance. This headless instrument fuses cutting-edge innovation with premium tonewoods and proprietary Ibanez components to inspire guitarists of all genres. Whether you’re pushing the boundaries of technical metal or exploring uncharted sonic territory in extended-range realms, the QX527PE empowers you to reach new creative heights.

Pioneering Headless Design With Signature Hardware

From the moment you pick it up, the QX527PE feels like a guitar from the future. Its headless design eliminates the traditional headstock, resulting in a more compact, lightweight and ergonomic body that’s comfortable during hours-long gigs or just practicing on the couch at home. Ibanez’s ingenious Mono-Tune bridge provides reliable tuning stability and precise intonation, with easily adjustable string height and low-mass saddles encouraging organic vibrational resonance. A custom one-piece string-locking mechanism at the opposite end clamps down for pitch-perfect tuning, while also facilitating quick and painless string changes. This innovative hardware optimizes sustain for powerful, soaring tone.

Ergonomic Neck Tailored for Virtuosic Playing

Facilitating speed and comfort is the QX527PE’s Parallel Wizard 5-piece roasted maple/bubinga neck. Its uniform 19 mm thickness and unwavering heat-treated construction empower you to fly across the neck with effortless dexterity, aided by 24 jumbo Jescar EVOgold frets. A hugely innovative feature includes placing each fret at an 8° slant—an ergonomic angle accommodating a higher hand position many technical players favor. This subtle angle promotes a more natural feel when executing advanced techniques like tapping and bass-inspired “thumping” riffs, such as those perfected and popularized by prog metal pioneer Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders.
