2021 ICHI10

The ICHI10 is a Q series headless solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2021. It is the first signature model of guitarist Ichika Nito, who becomes Ibanez’s first-ever Japanese signature artist.

The ICHI10 is based on the Ibanez Q54 with some personal touches. Ichika's love of Ibanez's Talman design is reflected in the ICHI10's rounded neck profile and cream finish.

The ICHI10 features a nyatoh body bolted to a roasted maple and bubinga neck with a 24-fret roasted birdseye maple fingerboard with mother of pearl step off-set dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include three R1 single-coil pickups, and individually mounted Mono-Tune bridges. Controls consist of a single volume and tone and a dyna-MIX8 switching system with a 5-way lever switch and an "Alter" toggle.

The fret material was changed from Jescar EVO Gold (which has been discontinued) to stainless steel for 2024.

A second signature model for Nito, the Talman-based ICHI00, was introduced in 2023.
