IBANEZ Q54BKF DETAILS
The Q54 from Ibanez offers nine sound variations with the dyna-MIX9 and can simulate and uniquely blend the sound of two single coil pickups through the flick of a switch.
Wizard C 3pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga neck
To meet the demand of various playing styles, this Wizard C neck has a very neutral shape - it's not too thick, too thin, or too flat. The 3pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga construction also offers great stability and long-term durability.
Nyatoh body
Nyatoh used as the body wood provides a rich mid-low end.
R1 / Q58 S-S-H pickups
The R1 / Q58 pickup combo is designed specifically for use in headless guitars. They provide a clearly defined sound, facilitating excellent tonal balance through all frequencies. The lows are powerful without being muddy, and the highs are bright and clear, but never harsh. As a result, every single note within the chord structure is well defined, and clearly audible. These pickups, with their tonal balance, and extremely low noise performance, work extremely well with both digital and analog effects.
Custom string lock
This custom string lock is one-piece unit that features very simple construction. This means the hardware requires less maintenance, is highly durable, and allows for very easy string changes. Additionally, no proprietary string is required, so you can continue to use your favorite gauge and brand.
Mono-Tune bridges
The Mono-Tune bridges offer a wide intonation range so that you can easily set the instrument up for tuning down a whole step or even further. The string height is also easily adjustable, and each saddle generally has less material, which leads to more natural and organic tone.
dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch
The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups.
Roasted Birdseye Maple fretboard
The beautiful Birdseye Maple fretboard imbues this model with an exotic appearance . The fretboard is heat-treated for a balanced attack and rich sustain.
Jescar EVOgold frets
Jescar EVOgold frets are known for their bright tone, gorgeous appearance, and excellent features such as long-lasting durability and smooth note bending.
Ergonomic body design
The body features a number of strategically placed curves on both the top and back of the instrument. This complex, yet sophisticated design provides maximum playing comfort.
Compact and light-weight, yet resonant body
While it is really compact and light-weight, its non-chambered, solid body provides great sound with rich woody tones.
SWITCHING SYSTEM
When the alter switch is in neck position, two hum tap mode is on. When the alter switch is in bridge position, two hum tap mode is off. Two hum tap mode means the neck and middle pickups are wired in series and functioning as a humbucker. When two hum tap mode is off and the pickup selector switch is in neck position, neck pickup is selected. When the switch is in between neck and center position, neck and center pickups are selected. When the switch is in center position, center position is selected. When the switch is in between center and bridge position, center pickup and neck side of the bridge pickup are selected. When the switch is in bridge position, the bridge pickup is selected. When two hum tap mode is on and the pickup selector switch is in neck position, the neck and center pickups are selected and they are in series. When the switch is in between neck and center position the neck pickup and bridge side of the bridge pickup are selected. When the switch is in center position, neck, center, and bridge pickups are selected; the neck and center pickups are in series mode. When the switch is in between center and bridge position, the neck side of the bridge pickup is selected. When the switch is in bridge position, the bridge pickup is selected.
CONTROLS
With the guitar held in the playing position, there is one knob and one switch along the lower edge of the body. Closest to the knee cutout is the five-way pickup selector switch. Closest to the end of the body is the tone knob. The volume knob is located right above the five-way pickup selector switch. Between the volume and tone knobs is the alter switch.
