Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Discover the Ibanez Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature Electric Guitar in Celeste Blue, Exclusively at Irvine Art and Music

Unleash your fusion mastery with the Ibanez Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature Electric Guitar, the preferred choice of renowned jazz-fusion virtuoso Tom Quayle. Crafted with vintage-inspired elegance, this solidbody electric guitar features a balanced alder body that sets the stage for its exceptional sound. Equipped with a Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Custom single-coil pickup and a Magic Touch-mini humbucker, the TQMS1 delivers versatile tones with remarkable clarity. The dyna-MIX5 switching system offers five captivating pickup combinations, allowing you to explore a wide sonic palette. Experience unparalleled playability with the S-Tech wood roasted maple neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. With the Gotoh T1802 tremolo and locking tuners, you can confidently bend, twist, and dive-bomb without sacrificing intonation. The Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature also features Luminlay side dots, mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, and a captivating reflective gloss finish.

Unrivaled Construction for Long-lasting Performance To capture the vintage mojo of the Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature, Ibanez meticulously crafted this guitar using high-quality tonewoods and enhanced construction techniques. The solid alder body offers a balanced tone and excellent sustain, embodying a trademark sound. The fast-playing roasted maple neck has undergone Ibanez's S-Tech wood nitrogen-heating treatment, enhancing stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. Sealed with oil for a comfortable feel, the AZ oval "C"-shaped neck provides a satisfying grip in lower fret positions and a contemporary feel for upper fret access.

Balanced and Clear Tones with Seymour Duncan The Ibanez Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature is a perfect choice for players seeking a balance between classic twang and modern bite. With its classic single-coil/humbucker configuration, this guitar delivers versatility and clarity. The Duncan Alnico II Pro Custom single-coil in the bridge position offers sweet and smooth tones, ideal for rock and blues. In the neck position, the Magic Touch-mini humbucker provides balanced and articulate sound across the entire frequency spectrum. The dyna-MIX5 switching system, controlled by a mini toggle and 3-way lever switch, unlocks various pickup combinations, enabling you to achieve the precise tone you desire.

Superior Tuning Stability with Gotoh T1802 Tremolo Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the T1802 bridge on the Tom Quayle TQMS1 Signature ensures outstanding tuning stability and performance. Featuring machined titanium saddles and a solid-steel tremolo block, this bridge offers quick response and exceptional articulation. The narrow string spacing facilitates effortless string skipping and hybrid picking techniques. Loading the tremolo arm is effortless thanks to the T1802's snap-and-hold socket, and the arm torque adjuster allows for precise adjustments without the need for additional tools. With stud lock screws securing the stud bolts in place, the T1802 enhances resonance and provides excellent tuning stability. Experience smooth tremolo motion in both directions with the 2-point floating tremolo system.
