Modern guitar playing is evolving fast, demanding instruments that are lighter, faster, and smarter.
If you are a progressive metal or fusion guitarist in Malaysia looking for ultimate comfort without sacrificing brutal tone, the future has arrived.
We are incredibly excited to announce that the revolutionary Ibanez QX527B Headless 7-String is coming soon to the Guitarlicious store!
Why Modern Guitarists Are Dumping Headstocks
Traditional 7-string guitars can often feel heavy and suffer from annoying neck-dive during long sessions.
Headless designs completely solve this weight distribution issue, creating a perfectly balanced instrument that sits beautifully against your body.
For those who find space-age headless brands a bit too alien, the Ibanez Q Series offers the perfect middle ground of classic vibe and futuristic specs.
Staff Quote: "The moment you strap this thing on, your back will thank you. It’s ultra-lightweight, but when you plug it into a high-gain digital rig, it punches like an absolute heavyweight beast!"
The Secret Ingredient: 8-Degree Slanted Frets
Unlike standard fretboards, the QX527B features frets that are uniformly tilted at an 8-degree inward angle.
When you hold your guitar in a higher, technical playing position, your fingers naturally angle inward.
This ergonomic slant perfectly matches your hand's natural geometry, making intricate tapping, fingerstyle, and complex chord extensions incredibly effortless.
Unmatched Electronics and Hardware Versatility
The dyna-MIX10 Sonic Weapon
Do not compromise on your tonal palette. The onboard dyna-MIX10 switching system with an Alter Switch delivers 10 distinct sonic variations.
You can easily skip from thick, aggressive humbucker chugs to realistic, crystal-clear single-coil glass at the flick of a mini switch.
Mono-Tune Bridge System
String changes on headless guitars used to be a complete nightmare.
The custom Ibanez one-piece string lock lets you use your favorite regular string brands without needing proprietary double-ball strings.
The independent Mono-Tune bridges offer an ultra-wide intonation range, keeping your tuning rock-solid even when dropping down for heavy djent riffs.
