The Q54 is a Q series headless solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2021. It is made in Indonesia.

The Q54 features an ergonomic, compact, light-weight and resonant 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 a Q58 humbucking pickup at the bridge and R1 single-coils in the middle and neck positions, and individually mounted Mono-Tune bridges. Controls consist of a single volume and tone and a 5-way pickup selector with a dyna-MIX9 switching system with an Alter toggle.

For 2022 the magnets in the R1 & Q58 pickups were changed from alnico to ceramic. For 2024 the frets were changed from Jescar EVO gold to stainless steel.

The Q54W is a similar model with white pickguard. The Q547 is a seven string version. The Q52 is a related model with a pair of humbuckers, no pickguard and different finishes. The QX54QM is a related fanned fret model with a quilted maple top.
