Ibanez and ESP have always been my go-to brands. Great to see fresh designs coming out from you guys. I'm surprised to see that the cut string ends at the headstock present a bunch of sharp exposed pointy bits though. That's surprising. Some sort of clip on cover would have been great to see here.
@Habixus2 жыл бұрын
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive but I think you could simply cut the string a little bit shorter. There seems to be about 2mm space between the screw and the end of the clamphole. Put the string in at the bridge, push it through the hole at the head, cut the string off and pull it back in for the 0.2mm sharp edge to be within the clampscrew mechanism. You'll have to turn the tuners a tiny bit further to get the same pitch but I think that should be possible. Another way would be to put the string in, mark the standard cut point with your cutter, then pull the string out and cut if off the tiny bit shorter.

why did this stupid comment get so many thumbs ups? How many dummies are there? Last I checked on regular tuning pegs which represent 95% of all guitars, you cut off the excess string and you are left with exposed pointy bits. If it worries you so much, buy a pair of small side cutters and clip them as close as possible.

@@TristanJCumpole I know how it works. my question for you is why do you care about exposed pointy bits, when almost every guitar in the world has exposed pointy bits? That is the reason I pointed out the simple fact that regular tuning pegs which make up 95% of guitars have the exposed pointy bits, because your complaint makes no sense given the fact that it is almost universal for guitars to have exposed pointy bits. are you able to understand now, or was this too hard for you?

Just got one of these in Sea Foam green. I have never enjoyed playing guitar so much! I've just got myself plugged into a Boss Katana practice amp atm, but it's so satisfying! I'm not used to the factory standard strings, they're a 9 gauge to a 49 or something around that region. I think I'm going to keep it light for the twang, but there is a lot of buzz from the strings atm, so this is my next job, as well as having a fiddle with moving the neck about. It's set up fine, but man the string buzz is something that really irks me. If you're looking at getting one of these guitars, I can say that they play beautifully and they weigh almost nothing - to the point that I'm almost offended something so light could cost so much! They sound great in distorted tones as well, I played around with some much heavier genres just to see that it could handle the more chuggy stuff, and it sounds great.

Mine has 10's on it from the factory (also says so on the Ibanez website) so that's probably why yours is a little buzzy when it wasn't set up for 9's. Anyway, I love this guitar so much man. Went into the store looking for a tele and came out with this thing... I just couldn't put it down!

When inserting a string into the tuner that "in the loading position", the tuner CAN & WILL MOVE when you are inserting the other end into the hole of the locking nut. This is quite an ordeal: figuring out how to hold the string in it's correct position w/the right hand while inserting the other end into the "head stock" locking nut hole & being able to screw that down with the left hand *ONLY*? This is the 2nd video I've seen on restringing the Q series that does *NOT* properly address this issue & it's a major pain in the caboose to realize it after you've bought one of these....
@michael12 ай бұрын
An object only moves if a force acts on it. Don't put a force on it. You can probably put the strings through the neck end first and then put the ball ends in.

my high e strings keep unwinding at the ball end for some reason with this bridge tuning system! am i doing something wrong! 7 high e strings for two complete string changes! the last one let go during a lesson today with my student playing it! not broken, just unwinding at the ball end, so it loosens until it unwraps from the ball! otherwise i love it! but frustrating and expensive in the string department

@nickmirocke72618 ай бұрын
Well that confirms I'll never get this guitar, headless bridge hardware that "holds" the strings in little saddles or slots are the msot unreliable bridges I've ever experienced, would much rather prefer hardware like strandberg uses where the ball end of the string is held at the end of the tuning peg and you literally have to thread the string through that tuning peg, holding it in place so much better and reliably. Super dissapointed I'd have to change hardware if I ever wanted to give this guitar a shot. I knew that price tag came with some compromises which legator does but wouldn't think Ibanez would stoop to their level of budget

Because Ibanez can't produce them fast enough. They selling like hot cakes. In addition to the high demand, there are resource shortages in pretty much every sector. From gasoline to silicone (used in manufacturing computer chips) and a lot of other things. Basically everywhere, where resources are needed to produce stuff. If you are also wondering why that is, there is this pandemic, that has been going on for two years now. Which means companies, that work in gathering resources or in production (professions, where you have to be there physically and can't work from home) have to work with fewer people due to various regulations in different countries.

The Ibanez headless guitars and basses are cool. And I trust that your engineers and luthiers must have considered all issues. But personally I would wish that the tuning knobs are still on the top end because that would be convenient for my left hand toadjust while my right hand pick the strings on to check if in tune. As I imagine: the tuning knobs and the ballend holders of the Q series can be moved to the top of the neck, while the string locks can be moved down to become the end of the bridge. It would be best if the string locks can be some kind of knobs or springed clamps (e.g. a push-down machanism that would lock all the strings with optimal pressure), so that players no longer need a wrench for changing strings.

Um... I imagine that's gonna make the guitar very uh... ugly? lol also please enlighten me if I'm mistaken but I have not seen any headless guitar where the tuning mechanism is on the top cuz doesn't kinda... defeats the whole purpose of removing the weight of the head? I do see your point about the tuning but that's just part of the headless game I suppose. Like Jon Gomm would not like this set up lol
@zanewong20052 жыл бұрын
@@Shredberry I'm new to guitar so my imagination or understanding of a 'headless' guitar can be qutie 'wrong'. But in my understanding, on a tradition guitar, the tuning knobs are 'on' or 'in' the head, rather than the head itself. The reason why on headless guitar, the tuning mechanism moved to the bottom seems to be, without a head, there's no way for the tuning knobs to go at the top. So being 'headless' doesn't mean the turning mechanism has to be at the bottom. So my suggestion here is more like: make the tuning knobs themselves the 'head' of the guitar. (But it's not really the 'head', because the knobs are the only structure there; they don't go into another structure like on traditional guitar.) I hope this explanation satisfy you!

@@7654321220 For the hex screw: yes, it's a common thing only because guitar makers use it and all guitar would sell with a very cheap allen key, that's easy to lose.

All in all, toolless is always more welcome, although perhaps it's not always possible.
