Description
The Ibanez QX52 from the Quest Series represents a bold new step in guitar innovation. Rather than simply adapting an existing model, Ibanez developed the Quest range entirely from the ground up to deliver a headless guitar that is lightweight, portable, and designed for the needs of modern technical players. With unique features such as 8-degree inward slanted frets for ergonomic precision, custom pickups, and advanced hardware, the QX52 opens the door to limitless creative possibilities across any genre.
