There is a lot to like in this article but the Ibanez QX527PB-ABS really speaks to me

I would like more 22 fret variations in headless designs. I know Kiesel offers them, but not many other companies.
 
The tilted frets on the Ibanez echo some old Rickenbackers, which also had them (8˚ tilt too). Think we talked about them here around the time the Q was released.

Not on their list, but if money were no object, I wouldn't mind an Aristides H/07.

Yeah, Aristides do some nice colours which are outside of the usual stuff.

Same paint but different angle, so you can see more of the orange and pink. Love it.

They are about my favorite designs in headless instruments these days. Much nicer than Kiesels, and they don't have the weird necks that Strandbergs do.

I like the look of strandbergs, but the neck looks so strange that I wasn't sure if they would be any good to play.
 
Really like the look of that Ibanez, been my weirdest GAS case since I started playing guitar. Never understood the appeal of headless guitars, but since I will be moving to a place where I won't be driving any time soon, this one, and a small, capable modeller look like a perfect solution when using public transportation to go to and from rehearsals.
 
There are, of course, many ways to play, and many of us don't stick to just one. That's why I wouldn't own an instrument that forces me to stick to just one.
 
The problem is there are so many damned noobs on the guitar who just never learned to play properly:

Hope someone corrects these guys before they make fools of themselves. :P

Imagine if they had had proper technique, what it could have been. Much greater legacy, no doubt.
 
Imagine!!

Here is a good technique example to follow, with the thumb in the back:

Much to learn, many of you have.
