I really hope he keeps it. It was clearly inspiring new ways of approaching the instrument in a good way,

[@SixPieceSuits]

I bought this guitar 8 months ago. My band plays about 4 nights a week, and I've been doing it for 15 years. This guitar is easily the best gigging guitar I've ever had. Strat, Les Paul, Midtown, Reverend Slingshot, SG, Hagstrom Futurama, etc...I've used them all. This is lightweight so my back and neck don't hurt after a 4hr gig. It has 8 tone options, so I can get all the tones I need for funk, pop, rock, country, you name it. It has endured countless outdoor Florida shows in the heat and humidity. The shorter length means I no longer hit my sax player with the headstock. It's an A+ road guitar 100%

[@piemmetubo]

As a happy owner of a Q54 I feel totally in resonance with what you wrote.

Cool guitar. The fragile pickup connections is something they should address. The single coil pickups are surprisingly quite, and it looks like the Pole pieces can be individually adjusted to the correct height - Nice.

[@alexmikhael5061]

it wouldn't take toooo much to actually MOUNT the jack instead of just the PINS ''barely soldered onto the pads'' holding it all together.... actually that connection would ccause ya to have to upgrade the shocks in the BAND VAN wouldn't it? LOL I kinda thought that bottom pickup with the space around it makes it look a little JANKY .... ;) only my opinion prolly!!! lol

[@Bbbbad724]

I think it would be so easy to use a quick connect style guard the would have enough play to allow disconnecting with more robust pin connections. I had to do that on my old race car ignition to allow robust use. Trogly, this guitar really brings out your skill!!!

[@brandonmitchell1056]

The "extra" strap button is really so the guitar sits "upright" when leaned against something with the body on the floor.

[@ICantStopMakingNoise]

I love getting your take on an instrument I definitely did not expect to see on this show (but that absolutely pulled me in to watch it - I couldn't save this one for later).

[@Chandlr]

I got one of these in HSS about a year and it has converted me to headless guitars, like actually selling off most of my normal guitars. GAS is easier to manage when you only want headless. Great guitar, mine doesn't have that issue you mentioned about being uncomfortable at the lower frets. Glad you had fun with it Trog Dog

[@joecarl5473]

It's defiantly got that super glassy Ichika sound. Pretty cool guitar!!! I love the fact that it has a tiny headstock, makes it look and probably feel way more natural, sure it's a bit stronger too!

[@M_C79]

I've had mine for about three weeks now. Most comfortable guitar I've ever owned. Just a pleasure to hold. And easily the best neck I've ever played. And it sounds great (even better when you play it). I'm a huge fan of headless guitars, they just make so much more sense than old-fashioned guitars. Waiting for Ibanez to put out a version with a trem system!

[@aoctavio]

Finally! I love those pickups so much I put an extra set on my Talman.

Simply saying "there's 5 channels" isn't enough. Again, you're the one trying to tarnish his name, so you're the one that needs to provide evidence. Going straight to "you're claiming he's good, why don't you prove it" is ironically, the most 6 year old thing I've heard someone say. Especially since you yourself have said "I'm not saying he isn't a good guitarist." Until you actually show the evidence, I'm assuming your comment is laced with envy and you wish to be him and have his life. Put up or shut up. I don't need to provide evidence for a subjective statement; statement being "he's a good guitar player." That's a subjective statement, as others will think differently. You, on the other hand, claims he is a fraud. Show us.

He’s more of a creative mind that uses the instrument of guitar to make music. Some things that are impressive, he can really play. Other things, he can’t replicate. Do yourself a favor and pursue truth instead of blind gravitation. Go look up ichika live. There’s not much. And what is out there, leaves many questions.

I "visually" fell in love with the Ibanez "Q" Series the moment I saw pictures and read specs in July 2021. When I had the chance of playing one of them at an exhibit I started the quest for a Q54. It took me nearly four months to find a dealer who had one of the first samples imported to Italy. After more than one year and a half I'm still deeply in love with this axe. And my G.A.S. is still in hibernation. 😃

Sorry it had to happen, but glad for Trogly finding out about this short lead and fragile solders. Even luthiers are going to get nailed by this. I'm not surprised that guitar manufacturers are getting more and more proprietary with their electronics. There aren't a lot of YT channels that open up guitars to check, so I'll be avoiding those manufacturers if I can't be sure ahead of purchase that I can mod easily. Now I'm suspicious about other Ibanez models.

I've never been in the same room as a headless and I was never sure what the deal was but man that seems nifty. I'm curious as to how it compares to other more conventional bridge setups in regards to sound, but as someone spends most of their time on a classical style guitar and all my electric time on Les Paul's and strats I find the prospect of re-stringing this guitar over those to be VERY appealing, maybe enough that I may actually change my strings before I wear nicks in them if I had a guitar like this.

The Alter Switch on this model wires the middle pickup with the outer pickup in series, so it gives that faux humbucker sound you’re hearing. Super useful, and gets you in the ball park of any tone one might need.

Hey Austin, a while back you did a video identifying the mysterious looking Gibson LP on the RamJam video _Black Betty._ I've found another one that looks unusual. (to me anyway) Modt everyone knows before Brian Johnson joined AC/DC he was in a band called Geordie. There is a song on YT of theirs called _Goodbye Love._ In it the guitar player is playing what looks like a Gibson SG. Here's what I noticed: The headstock logo looks like it says Gibson It has unusual looking inlays. The pickguard doesn't look right. It looks like it has 2 single coil pickups or maybe mini-humbuckers? The placement of the controls doesn't seem right. Anyway, thought you might give it your professional perusal.

Yep, those traces are gonezo.

Probably went SMT because it can all be machine assembled, less cost than having a hand soldering/trimming step.
