Up for sale, a 1991 Ibanez 540R-HH in showroom clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case and the original hangtags. Far less common than the SSH version of the 540R, this Ibanez was crafted at the Fujigen factory in Japan as part of the Radius series, featuring a sleek, sculpted body and an Ultra neck profile, an asymmetrical aerofoil-shaped carve designed for maximum playability and speed. The Radius body shape is widely associated with Joe Satriani, who used the same slender, contoured shape for his signature JS guitars.
Tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and 22-fret slab rosewood fingerboard, lightweight at 7lbs 3oz. The pair of IBZ USA F1 humbuckers were designed by Ibanez in conjunction with DiMarzio and, as the name would imply, wound in the USA. They feature a ceramic magnet design for a cutting, powerful sound that stays tight with distortion, with a slight mid scoop, rich lows and singing highs for exceptional articulation. This 540R has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, dialed in with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
