Exceptional Guitars

Great condition with original hard shell case.

Oval C S-TECH WOOD Roasted Maple neck
The S-TECH special roasted treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. The neck is sealed with an oil finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played guitar neck.

Rosewood fretboard
Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Flamed Maple (4mm) top / Alder body
The Flamed Maple top displays a beautiful wood grain. The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance and sustain.

Ibanez TQM Pickups
Tom Quayle and Ibanez teamed up to develop the TQM-S single coil and TQM-H humbucker pickups. These pickups precisely reflect subtle playing nuances and produce a natural clean voicing that works well with various effect pedals. The TQM pickups are mandatory to realize the "Tom Quayle signature sound".

Gotoh® T1702B tremolo
The T1702B tremolo bridge provides quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings and its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm. The tremolo block and saddles are made of brass, facilitating better overall resonance.

dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch
The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups.

Super All Access Neck Joint
The Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.

Oil-impregnated Bone nut /Stainless Steel Frets
The Oil-impregnated bone nut provides superior tuning stability and warm rich resonance. Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes.

Ergonomic rear body contour
A shallow body back contour and a big forearm contour make the guitar body fit the player naturally, thus increasing playing comfort. The AZ body has a deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing or sitting positions.

Gotoh® Magnum Lock machine heads w/H.A.P.(Height Adjustable Post)
GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads have an established reputation for tuning stability. Its H. A. P® (Height Adjustable Post). system allows for the adjustment of string posts for the appropriate tension of each string.

Luminlay side dot inlays
The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
