Ibanez Q547PB Cosmic Blue Low Gloss

The Quest Series: A Headless Designed from Scratch by Ibanez

With the Q547PB, Ibanez did not just "cut the head off" an existing model: the Q (Quest) series was developed around a clear brief focused on ergonomics, performance, and portability. The Mono-Tune duo (integrated saddles/tuners) and Custom String Lock perfectly illustrate this approach, as does the electronics designed to multiply sounds without complicating the instrument. Within the Quest family, Ibanez also offers variants dedicated to advanced techniques to cover a wide spectrum of guitarists.

Who Is This Ibanez Headless 7-String For?

The Q547PB primarily targets intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an easy-to-carry 7-string guitar, comfortable for long sessions, and capable of supporting precise playing (fast alternate picking, legato, tapping, extended chords). Its versatility makes it particularly relevant for modern metal, prog, djent, fusion, but also for studio work to layer clear and well-defined tracks.

Sound

The S-S-H configuration combines two R1-7 pickups at the neck/middle (single coil, passive, ceramic) with a Q58-7 at the bridge (humbucker, passive, ceramic). The result: a clear attack, present but articulate lows, and bright highs without harshness. The dyna-MIX9 system with Alter Switch greatly expands the palette, offering single coil-typed combinations, thicker modes, and sounds suited for effects (delay, reverb, modulation, amp simulations), all while maintaining a low noise level.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The Q547PB accepts standard 7-string strings (no proprietary gauge required). To stay as close as possible to the original setup, favor a .010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046/.059 set (such as D'Addario EXL110-7). A standard guitar strap is also compatible. A gig bag is included for transport.
