6 String Guitars

With Schecter's Reaper-6 Custom electric guitar on your shoulder, your fears of lackluster sound and drab looks can be laid to rest. The Reaper-6 Custom delivers custom-shop performance in a wallet friendly production model, sporting a unique tonewood combination of Khaya African mahogany for the body, wenge for the neck, and ebony for the fingerboard. The result ... a road-ready workhorse that can serve as your No. 1 axe onstage and in the studio. A pair of Schecter's San Andreas humbuckers fuel this guitar's full-bodied, searing voice, with single-coil sounds accessible via a coil-splittable master tone knob. Locking tuners, a Hipshot hardtail bridge, and Luminlay side dots only sweeten the pot, making for professional upgrades that give this electric guitar an edge over the competition.

With new developments in instrument technology, the prominence of more technical playing styles, and players’ desire for lighter, more portable instruments, today’s headless guitars are pushing far beyond designs of the past. However, even with all these advancements, Ibanez still saw an exciting opportunity in this space.

The Q or Quest series is an entirely new concept for Ibanez. The “Quest” in this case was to not just to adapt an existing instrument into a headless design, but to develop an entirely new guitar from the ground up. This range features a number of unique elements intended to maximize tone, performance, and playing comfort. These include, custom designed R1 single coil and Q58 humbucker pickups, a new Mono-Tune bridge, and a proprietary custom string locking mechanism. The QX subseries is also equipped with innovative 8-degree inward slanted frets, uniquely tailoring their ergonomics to the benefit of highly technical players.

Ultimately, this series offers a diverse and versatile enough feature set to attract not only the modern, technical guitarist, but also players who may have never even considered a headless guitar before. Regardless of genre, Q (Quest) allows guitarists of every background to question the full scope of their creative possibilities.
