Ibanez Q Standard 7-String Electric Guitar Natural Flat

The Ibanez Q Standard 7-String Electric Guitar provides serious musicians with an innovative instrument designed for technical playing styles. Its Parallel Wizard 5-piece Roasted Maple and Bubinga neck offers a comfortable, familiar feel with the stability required for complex rhythms and leads. The ebony fingerboard enhances clarity and articulation, ensuring each note rings through with definition.

Resonant Tonewoods Produce a Clear, Powerful Sound

The Q Standard's Pale Moon Ebony top and Nyatoh body provide a resonant foundation for its powerful tone. The ebony top adds richness and depth, while the Nyatoh body delivers a focused midrange. Together, these tonewoods give you a clear, robust voice that cuts through in any mix.

Ergonomic Design Maximizes Playing Comfort

From its lightweight, compact headless design to its slanted frets, the Q Standard provides exceptional playing comfort. The headless design removes unnecessary weight from the instrument, making it ideal for long playing sessions. Its slanted frets are angled inwards by 8 degrees, conforming to the natural shape of your hand. This innovative fret design minimizes stretching, allowing for a more relaxed hand position and effortless transitions across the wide, flat fingerboard. Overall, the Q Standard's ergonomic build will keep you comfortable through even the most technical passages.

Pickups Tailored for Headless Tone

The Q58 humbuckers are voiced specifically for headless guitars. They deliver clearly defined tone through all frequencies. Powerful lows, present mids and shimmering highs provide tonal balance for any genre. Single notes and full chords are well-defined and audible. The Q58 pickups have extremely low noise, working with digital or analog effects. They unlock the full potential of the Q Standard 7-String's resonant woods and progressive features.

A Plethora of Tonal Options

Shape your tone further with the dyna-MIX10 switching system and Alter Switch. The dyna-MIX10 offers 10 sound variations, toggling between humbucker and single coil modes. The Alter Switch activates power tap mode, re-voicing your pickups. Between the switching system and pickup selector, you have a plethora of tonal variations at your fingertips.

Innovative Bridge Provides Precision Intonation

The Q Standard features a Mono-Tune bridge that offers precise intonation adjustments for accurate tuning, even when playing down-tuned. Each saddle has minimal material for an open, organic tone. Adjustable string height lets you dial in the perfect action for your playing style. A proprietary string lock creates a solid connection between the ball end of the strings and the bridge for rock-solid tuning stability.
