*All items shipped from our store to the US are shipped DDP (directly paid by seller), meaning import duties and fees are included in the sales price.

A reproduction of the 540PII, featuring a distinctive body shape.

Sale for a short time in the late '80s, the 540PII, known for its long horns and distinctive, reversed RG look, was a favorite among some thrash metal guitarists.

Now, the 540PIII brings this legendary model back to life with modern specs!

◆A limited edition model from the GENESIS COLLECTION, a Made in Japan guitar series tracing the history of guitars from the beginning to the present.

◆An ultra-thin Super Wizard-shaped neck for easy playability and a slim profile. The 5-piece construction, made up of three pieces of maple and two pieces of walnut laminated together, enhances rigidity.

Perfect for players who prefer an extremely light grip, this shape is the reason Ibanez is known as a pioneer of thin necks.

◆ Rosewood Fingerboard

Rosewood is used, characterized by its firm, mild midrange sound.

It also features a shark tooth fingerboard inlay that evokes the atmosphere of classic models.

◆ Ibanez Original "V8" and "Infinity R" Pickups

The bridge position is equipped with a "V8" pickup, which was widely adopted in the late '90s, when loud music was at its peak.

The neck position is equipped with an "Infinity R" humbucking pickup, characterized by its powerful and clear sound.

While featuring an HH pickup layout, the 5-way switching system allows for front parallel wiring and front-tap + rear-tap sounds.

◆ Ibanez Original Edge Tremolo: Smooth operation and a brilliant sound.

This double-locking tremolo bridge boasts a natural feel, wide range of movement, and high tuning accuracy, making it a favorite among many artists.

◆High-precision, smooth Gotoh machine heads

◆Tilt neck joint with die-cast plate
