The Tom Quayle Signature 6str Electric Guitar from Ibanez delivers the versatile tones and effortless playability that have made Quayle the preeminent jazz fusion guitarist. Designed in collaboration with Tom, this signature model gives you the tools to craft your own fusion sound. The S-TECH wood roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth playing experience, while the stainless steel frets and oil-impregnated bone nut give you tuning stability and articulation. The alder body and flamed maple top produce a balanced tone with singing sustain.
Oval C Roasted Maple Neck Offers Superior Playability
The TQM features an Oval C profile neck made of roasted maple, a material prized for stability, durability and tone. The roasting process makes the maple more resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, resulting in a neck that stays straight and true. The satin oil finish gives the neck a smooth, played-in feel right out of the case. The oval C shape has a rounded profile that fits comfortably in your hand, whether you prefer to play with your thumb on top of the neck or wrapped around from behind.
Versatile TQM Pickups
Tom Quayle and Ibanez developed the TQM-S single coil and TQM-H humbucker pickups to capture Quayle's subtle techniques and natural clean tone. These pickups offer a range of sounds from sparkling single coil clarity to meaty humbucker growl. Switch between the pickups with the dyna-MIX 9 switching system to find the perfect tone for solos, chording or anything in between.
Prestige Fret Edge Treatment
The jumbo stainless steel frets feature Ibanez's Prestige fret edge treatment for silky string bending and vibrato. Your fingers will glide across the fingerboard as you perform Quayle's legato runs and tapped passages. The fret edges are carefully rounded and polished for maximum comfort during long practice sessions and performances.
Versatile Tremolo System
The Gotoh T1702B tremolo bridge provides expressive pitch control for dives, warbles and chirps. Its solid brass block and saddles transfer string vibration for enhanced resonance and sustain. The 10.5mm string spacing gives you ample room between strings for complex chords and fingerpicking. Use the included arm to subtly enhance your solos or dramatically alter your tone.
Signature Touches
This signature model includes several touches requested by Tom Quayle. Luminlay side dots make fingerboard positioning visible on dark stages. A hardshell case protects your instrument during transit and storage. The super-all access neck joint provides upper fret access for extended range. With its premium components and Quayle-approved design, this guitar helps you achieve a new level of jazz fusion mastery.
