Ibanez QX527B-WK Quest Headless 7-String, Weathered Black - Secondhand

Full Description

Designed for modern performance

The Quest series represents a fresh approach to guitar design, built specifically to meet the needs of modern players rather than adapting older concepts. The headless construction reduces overall weight and improves balance, making long playing sessions more comfortable. Its compact form also makes it easier to transport, while still delivering a full, resonant tone. This makes it ideal for players who demand both practicality and high performance from their instrument.

Fast, consistent neck feel

The Parallel Wizard 5-piece roasted maple and bubinga neck is designed for speed and precision. With a consistent 19mm thickness along its entire length, it provides a uniform playing feel that encourages fluid movement across all positions. The roasted maple construction enhances stability and durability, while the ebony fretboard adds a snappy attack and smooth response. Combined with jumbo stainless steel frets, it ensures effortless articulation and long-lasting performance.

Versatile tone with advanced switching

Equipped with a pair of Q58 humbuckers, this guitar delivers a clear, balanced sound across the entire frequency range. The lows remain tight and defined, while the highs stay articulate without becoming harsh. The dyna-MIX10 switching system expands your tonal palette with ten distinct sound variations on offer, including convincing single-coil-style tones. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of genres, from clean ambient textures to heavy, high-gain riffing.

Innovative hardware and reliability

The custom string lock and Mono-Tune bridge system simplify setup and maintenance while improving tuning stability. Each saddle allows precise intonation and height adjustment, making it easy to tailor the guitar to your preferences, even for alternative tunings. Luminescent side dots improve visibility on dark stages, and the included gig bag ensures safe transport. Every detail is designed to support modern players who need reliability, flexibility and performance in one instrument.
