The “Quest” in this case was 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParallel Wizard 3pc Roasted Maple\/Bubinga Neck\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Parallel Wizard neck is 19mm thick all the way through the entire length.

The 5pc Roasted Maple\/Bubinga construction also offers excellent stability and long-term durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEbony Fretboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEbony produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eJumbo Stainless Steel Frets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance.

They provide a clearly defined sound, facilitating excellent tonal balance through all frequencies. The lows are powerful without being muddy, and the highs are bright and clear, but never harsh. As a result, every single note within the chord structure is well defined and clearly audible. These pickups, with their tonal balance and extremely low noise performance, work extremely well with both digital and analogue effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCustom String Lock\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis custom string lock is a one-piece unit that features very simple construction.
