Ibanez Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature Electric Guitar – Celeste Blue

A Fusion Master’s Signature Axe

Due to his hyper-fluid hybrid-picking and liquid legato techniques, Tom Quayle has earned a top spot in the pantheon of jazz-fusion virtuosos, and the Ibanez Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature is his axe of choice. This vintage-tinged solidbody electric guitar is built around a balanced-sounding alder body. A Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Custom single-coil pickup and a Magic Touch-mini humbucker deliver versatile tones with exceptional clarity, while its dyna-MIX5 switching system supplies five ear-grabbing pickup combinations. You’ll love the ample playability of this guitar’s S-Tech wood roasted maple neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. And you won’t have to sacrifice intonation while bending, twisting, and dive-bombing, thanks to the TQMS1’s Gotoh T1802 tremolo and locking tuners. The Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature also includes Luminlay side dots, mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, and a reflective gloss finish.

Balanced, clear tone courtesy of Seymour Duncan

With its classic single-coil/humbucker configuration, the Ibanez Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature is ideal for players looking for that balance of classic twang and modern bite. The Duncan Alnico II Pro Custom single-coil in the bridge is sweet and smooth, perfect for delivering rock and bluesy tones. In the neck sits a Magic Touch-mini humbucker, balanced across the full spectrum with crystal-clear articulation. Beyond that, Ibanez’s dyna-MIX5 switching system provides several different pickup combinations via a mini toggle and 3-way lever switch. The guitarists here at AJ’s Music & The Music Man have found that whatever tone you’re hearing in your head, the TQMS1 can achieve it.

Gotoh T1802 tremolo provides excellent tuning stability

Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature’s T1802 bridge features machined titanium saddles and a solid-steel tremolo block, ensuring quick response and amazing articulation. String skipping and hybrid picking are effortless thanks to narrow string spacing. Loading the guitar’s tremolo arm is a breeze by virtue of the T1802’s snap-and-hold socket; its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1802’s stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument’s resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1802’s 2-point floating tremolo system achieves an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion in either direction.
