The Ibanez Q54W Standard headless electric guitar provides an innovative and versatile platform for modern guitarists. With its headless construction and premium features designed specifically for highly technical playing styles, the Q54W Standard lets you push the creative boundaries of your music. The roasted maple neck and birdseye maple fingerboard give you a smooth playing feel and balanced tone. The R1 single-coil and Q58 humbucker pickups are tailored for headless instruments, providing clearly defined tones from powerful lows to bright highs. The Mono-Tune bridge offers a wide range of intonation for diverse tunings. With dyna-MIX9 switching and an Alter Switch, you have nine tonal variations at your fingertips. The Q54W Standard's lightweight, ergonomic shape is ideal for dynamic stage performances.

Headless Design Maximizes Playability

The Q54W Standard's headless design makes it lightweight, balanced and comfortable to play. Without a headstock, the guitar has an unimpeded neck that lets your fretting hand glide smoothly up and down the fingerboard. The ergonomic body shape fits close to your body, giving you full access to the higher frets. The Q54W Standard's lightweight nyatoh body and roasted maple neck reduce shoulder strain during long practice sessions or performances. Overall, the headless design removes physical restrictions, allowing your creativity to flow freely.

Custom Pickups Provide Clearly Defined Tone

The Q54W Standard features Ibanez's R1 single-coil and Q58 humbucker pickups, which are designed specifically for the unique tonal characteristics of headless guitars. The pickups deliver excellent note separation and articulation, with tight lows, shimmering highs and a focused midrange. When playing chords, each string rings through with clarity. When soloing, the pickups produce a balanced, nuanced tone across the fingerboard. With the Q54W Standard's dyna-MIX 9 switching system, you can blend the pickups for a variety of humbucker and single coil sounds.

Mono-Tune Bridge Enables Versatile Setup

The Q54W Standard's Mono-Tune bridge provides a wide range of intonation adjustment, allowing you to tune the guitar down a whole step or more. The bridge saddles have minimal mass, resulting in purer tone. You can also easily adjust the string height to your preferred action. Overall, the Mono-Tune bridge gives you the versatility to customize the Q54W Standard headless electric guitar for different musical situations. From standard tuning to dropped tunings, the bridge helps the guitar perform at its best.

Premium Components for Superior Playability

Every element of the Q54W Standard headless is designed for an exceptional playing experience. It features a roasted birdseye maple fingerboard for smooth string bending and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets for effortless fretting. A custom string lock creates a solid anchor point for each string at the bridge, providing tuning stability and simple string changes. Finally, a gig bag is included to protect your Q54W Standard between performances.
