Ibanez RG 540PII Desert Sun Yellow

The 540PⅡ-SH (or 540PII-SH) is a Power series guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1988 as part of the Roadstar Pro series. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen.

The 540PⅡ models are based on a new 'reverse RG style' body shape with a long, pointy lower horn. This replaced the older Power series body which had been introduced in 1987.

The 540PⅡ-SH features a basswood body with a cutaway heel bolted to a maple Wizard neck with a reverse headstock and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and sharktooth position markers. Components include a pair of DiMarzio-made IBZ/USA pickups with an F3 humbucker at the bridge and a C2 noiseless, stacked single-coil in the neck position, an Edge double locking tremolo bridge and a pickguard mounted below the pickups.

The 540PⅡ-HH is a similar model with dual humbucker pickups. Both of these 24-fret 540PⅡ models were offered only in Japanese and European markets. The 540PSH and 540PHH are similar models offered in the USA market with 22-fret necks and no pickguard.
