Ergonomic 7-string for modern rock, metal and fusion sounds
With the Ibanez Standard QX527PB-ABS Quest Antique Brown Stained, the Japanese guitar giant is launching an agile, headless seven-string electric guitar that is perfectly tailored to the demands of modern guitarists and their highly skilled playing techniques. The 7-string guitar’s high level of ergonomics is enhanced by a flat body design and an extremely manoeuvrable neck featuring innovative slanted frets, whilst Q58-7 humbuckers with dyna-MIX10 circuitry deliver a rich variety of tones for avant-garde rock, metal and fusion. Innovative Mono-Tune bridges and an Ibanez Custom String Lock complete the standard QX527PB from Ibanez’s Quest series.
Agile Design
Thanks to its flat shaping with generous contours, the lightweight Nyatoh body of the Ibanez QX527PB fits the player perfectly and maintains a balanced position even when worn on a strap. The comfortably shaped Parallel Wizard-7 profile of the five-piece neck, crafted from roasted maple and bubinga, promises extremely agile playability, allowing even the most complex runs and chord voicings to be executed with ease on the 24-fret roasted birdseye maple fingerboard. The frets, set at an 8° angle, also offer players who prefer to hold their guitar high a high level of comfort when fretting all the strings. Last but not least, the intensely figured poplar burl top transforms the electric guitar into a visual highlight.
Q58-7 pickups with dyna-MIX10 circuitry
The Quest QX527PB guitar’s electrical signal conversion is handled by two Ibanez Q58-7 humbuckers with Alnico magnets, whose tonal characteristics are perfectly tailored to modern rock and fusion styles. With perfect balance across all frequency ranges and a well-defined tonal character, the pickups reproduce every note played, ensuring that even complex chords are rendered with perfect string separation. The innovative dyna-MIX10 circuit, featuring a 5-way blade switch and an Alter Switch, offers ten different pickup combinations for a wide range of tones.
Perfectly matched hardware
The hardware on the Ibanez Standard QX527PB has also been perfectly tailored to the instrument and the demands of modern guitarists. The streamlined headstock features an Ibanez Custom String Lock, which guarantees a secure hold on the strings and facilitates quick string changes. On the body, meanwhile, Ibanez Mono-Tune single-bridge tuners are fitted, which not only guarantee optimal intonation and string action but also ensure precise and stable tuning thanks to the integrated tuning mechanisms.
