Ibanez Standard QX527B 7-String Headless Electric Guitar w/ Bag - Weathered Black

The Ibanez Standard QX527B is an absolute marvel of modern, ergonomic guitar design, engineered from the ground up for the progressive 7-string player who demands maximum performance, portability, and structural stability. Dressed in a dark, stealthy Weathered Black finish that lets the organic texture of the wood take center stage, this premium headless machine pairs a specialized multiscale layout with high-performance electronics optimized for extreme technical precision.

The foundation of the QX527B features a lightweight okoume body that delivers a rich, warm, and highly resonant tonal profile with plenty of low-end authority and a punchy midrange response. It features a rock-solid, bolt-on 5-piece roasted maple/bubinga neck carved into the innovative Parallel Wizard-7 profile, which maintains a uniform 19mm thickness from the first fret all the way to the twelfth. This specialized design keeps your wrist in a more natural, relaxed posture across all 7 strings. The premium ebony fingerboard features a wide, flat 508mm radius, striking Mother of Pearl Step off-set dot inlays, and luminescent side dots for clear visibility on dark stages. Outfitted with 24 extra-durable jumbo stainless steel frets across a balanced 25.5" scale length, this neck yields a fluid and high-speed playing surface built to last a lifetime.

Sonically, this headless weapon is driven by a calibrated set of passive, ceramic Ibanez Q58-7 humbuckers specifically engineered for headless guitars. These pickups deliver exceptional note definition and an ultra-balanced tonal response, ensuring that your lowest 7-string chords never turn muddy or losing clarity under high gain. The true powerhouse of this layout is the dyna-MIX10 switching system with an integrated Alter Switch. This advanced routing configuration unlocks an astonishing palette of 10 distinct pickup combinations—including simulated single-coil combinations and unique series/parallel hookups—allowing you to shift from crystalline, sparkling cleans to brutal active modern crunch at the flip of a switch.

The hardware package is strictly professional-grade and engineered for total performance reliability. It features the innovative Ibanez Mono-Tune bridge system, which offers an incredibly wide intonation range and lets you easily down-tune your strings by a whole step or more without needing special tools. Paired with the proprietary Ibanez Custom String Lock at the headpiece, this system anchors your strings immovably for exceptional tuning stability and lightning-fast string changes. Spaced at an ergonomic 10.8mm string spacing and factory-fitted with premium D'Addario EXL110-7 strings, this instrument is fully optimized for demanding stage and studio work.
