LucSulla Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) The Strat has sold. Ibby - $575: More pics here. I bought the Ibanez Q54 to be a travel guitar last summer. It fit that bill perfectly! In case you're like me and are at least in part looking at these because you want the option to take a full size guitar on trips that will fit in an overhead bin, this one absolutely does it. The roasted maple neck feels great, and the sounds available through the stock electronics cover a lot of ground. The won't absolutely slam the front in of an amp, so if you are into metal, it needs a boost I feel to really beef up, but otherwise, does everything else well. This is an earlier version that has the jumbo Jescar EVO gold frets rather than stainless. They are still in great shape. The main cosmetic issues with the guitar, and the only reason I didn't mark it as very good, is first that it has a textbook example of a neck pocket finish crack. Ibanez must really lay the poly on these guitars. I have included pics of the neck pocket with the neck off to show that this is only in the finish. The neck pocket itself is clean as can be. The other issue is some scratches and minor discoloration in the belly cut on the back of the guitar. Overall, this is an absolutely gigable little workhorse that works well for travel, for any time you want to save some room when carrying gear, or just if you straight up love headless guitars.
