I’ve been going back and forth with headless for years. Kiesel/Carvin have been doing this for years… I’ve been intrigue but never pulled the pickle out of the jar. Now ibanez is making the Q series… and they are affordable! May have to get one. Ola! Hey side bar… have ever reviewed the Carvin legacy 3 or any of the legacy’s? I have a legacy 3 and it chugs likes a drunk whore from the days of Camelot. Just saying. Thank you for doing what you do!

and I will add that having a guitar neck without a headstock is like having a penis without its glans. it might work, it might get you there, but it is missing a very relevant part. no bad words here, just scientific terms.

If you guys are looking for a good headless guitar, pick up a Gibson. The headstock will usually break off within the first couple months of you owning it.

As a Greek I can attest that the original scripture by Epicurus was "Headless guitars suck ass as they cannot chug". But it also had a footnote saying "That is except if Ola gets one in his hands, this dude can make even an "aulos" chug."!

@@dreamscuba I find that weird. On the Ibanez page it says, that the necks of the Quest series are 19 mm all the way through. heir thinnest necks (on their Prestige line) are 17 mm at the first to 19 mm at the twelth fret. Most of Ibanez guitars (Standard and Premium line) have necks with thicknesses of 20 to 21 mm or 19 to 21 mm. So, the Quest necks are pretty close to the thinnest necks Ibanez makes. No idea where you get the "chunky" from. I have an Ibanez RG8. Neck is 20 to 21mm and that thing is miles from being even related to chunky. How would an even thinner neck (the one of their Quest series) be chunky? Gibson necks are chunky, if you want an adequate example. Do you mind elaborating what you mean by chunkiness?

Very happy owner of this Ibanez model, it mainly excels at cleans and leads (position 4 is the best out of any guitar I own) but it can indeed chug. Very versatile instrument!

The switch is the dyna-MIX9 system. When it’s flipped, you get four more pickup configurations (the humbucker-only position stays the same.)

Got one of these a couple months ago and besides my Cort KX508MS it is my absolute favourite. It's incredibly light, the neck is the mostly comfortable one I've ever used and it stays in tune for months.

Ola should have tested the 7 string QX527PB model for chug-ability.

Saving up for the Qseries. Love that stuff!

oh yeah finally i've been waiting Ola testing this!

Chug or not your playing is wicked good. Love the channel sir.

The pickups in these models are REALLY great

When you flick that little switch when it's in the neck position, it runs neck and middle in series.

I got a Q52 and it's been a god send, especially for traveling. Even the stock pickups are pretty damn good, and I usually use Bare Knuckles. Best bang for your buck guitar I've ever played.

Takayoshi Ohmura's ESP Strat with pink glitter must be your dream come true. 🙃

I was just checking out this guitar if i would buy it or not, then papa ola drops this video! thx papa ola

Dude, your riffing is just too sick for this planet. I think that the main thing that keeps me going in this channel is just waiting to hear a killer riff. Specially in the Swola where you just grab a guitar and deliver what you deliver.

I've wanted one of these, but I didn't expect a commercial for one on this channel! 🌝

Sounds great, it has that Ty Tabor King's X sound....add a little modulation and that will sound amazing.

I have a QX52, same as this one but in HH setup, I replaced the pickups with Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi - it sounds so much better, a lot less muddy.

My second favorite guitar is an 80s Ibanez Axstar headless, the one with the real small body abs Steinberger trem that you can engage an anchor on to make it stop floating and act fixed. Even with stock pickups it was instant Meshugah DEI tone of you cranked the middle know. It had active electronics. I exchanged for EMG at some point in the early 2000s but it's a HUGE sleeper. The cool thing is the body is so small that even small children can play it, despite the full sized scale length. ... and now I'll never find a second one on e-bay.

Ola is very entertaining on top of being a crazy good player! You also make that guitar look tiny! haha Thanks for the demo!

I think I will get one now thanks to this video.

Love to see a headless Solar guitar someday.

I'd like to hear just a little more heavy chunk in the open E chord from this guitar but the tone over all sounds great! The color of the guitar and the cleans sound and looks ok you're right what is this missing? How about true cinematic 80s style whammy bar dive bombs and squeals 😜🤟

that kicked ass man, nice one! 🤘

Yes headless chug! you make the funnies. thanks Ola.

That wiring is pretty cool. Looked it up. I’m a fan of fun wirings, but I know that isn’t exactly universal :)

Ola, the Doctor of Chuganomics!

I saw this guitar at swee lee, it looks and feels a lot more premium irl than it does on camera

Hi ola i'm from indonesia thanks for review this guitar , it's very very good , i love this channel🔥🤟🏻

Not really a fan of headless guitars, but I somewhat dig those Ibanez ones. Especially the ones with the burl kind of top on them, they look a tad more metal at least.

I have this guitar and love it

Headless guitars are AWESOME!

Wish i had a teacher as Ola in my learning days.

lol !! Love your vidéos ! A Will it Chug with the N4 Washburn please !!

I'm interested in getting one of these.

It’s so bright sounding

Ask your buddy Per Nilsson if headless guitars chug!! Great video, as ALWAYS.

Best Metal Channel 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Hi, On the EVH even my mandolin could Chug... Thank you, good video.

i think its better stop the timer right after the 1st chug. if it chug with default settings, it chugs. idk if that makes sense, but there it is...

Wonderful singing, #Zeromistakes......

headless guitars are so strange to me... I guess they appeal to some people but I can't play one lol necks are alright though. great video!

Will it won't it ?... Was it fun? Absolutely! Love you Ola!

I would label it under punk if I had to. It gives off that high gain sound, it’s super light to throw around while playing, and it just looks sick(I have a grote headless guitar) idk to much about the brand though. I usually stick with Kramer and or Gibson sg

I would like to see a Steinberger but Im pretty sure does chug extra hard with the EMGs It would be a cool video for Lou Reed homaje

The headstock of a guitar is my favorite part

Only reason for considering headless for me is that it’s shorter = less space in car needed to fit it in. But I think the same as Ola said, it looks like something is missing.

It always reminds me of decapitated chickens o.O

try a Harley Benton please, because there cheap and really good once set up. but they almost never come completely ready out of the box. I got the cheaper fusion for 120 and after it's set up I'm in love. the Floyd rose dose it's job better then some high end guitars.

Laney Cub-Supertop would be a great challenge!

Why not just tap the pole pieces with a piece of ferrous metal to figure out what's going on with the switches? It won't tell you anything regarding phase or anything, but you will definitely be able to hear which pickups are engaged in the circuit.

I bought this thing as a travel guitar. Build quality is incredible for the price (999 euros). Stainless steel jumbo frets. It is very small slim and light weight, except it is not a toy. Pickups are OK. Neck is not thin not a wizard type but is comfy enough, I think it is more of an AZ shape. The only think I did not like is when you put the guitar on your left leg the tuners are coming against your right leg. A body wood extension there would be better design.

I think that even a ukulele could chug on an evh 😅 Maybe a future will it chug video 😉

It wouldn't be my cup of tea but as a guitar that you can easily pack up for a small stage maybe, call me old fashioned but a nice headstock is king LOL

I'm digging headless. I have a crappy harley benton but want to upgrade to a kiesel or something.

First answer I thought about a headless guitar chug is Paul masvidal on the Death - human album....

Hahahaha!! 🤣🤣🙏 I'm quite intrigued by these new models, they seem to be absolutely versatile & lightweight... I would pick a different colour though (plain wood or a nice top, for instance!), but that is purely preferential of course.

It looks real nice. And it does chug, even though it´s a headless😃.

Ola we need a band shirt collection video!!

What is your favorite bodywood, neck wood and fingerboard wood for 6 string electric guitar and what pickups?

I like it 🤘🏻

Aye Cap! Sweet chunk. Now put it on a Fender Twin with no pedals

Just as I anticipated clean tone

this thing looks awesome. i hope one day.... just one day we'll get a headless model from Jackson. pls, i beg 🙏

Hi there..........Do you like the 2 humbucker version better than the 2 single coils and one humbucker version........Thanks.

Would it be possible to do the ICHI10 which is the same guitar but triple single coils. The alter switch makes it able to create humbuckers like the S1 switch on the fender ultra telecaster

Not me at 3:06 singing the opening line to Fall of Man in my classroom 😂🤘🏽
