Description

Ibanez RG 540PII Black

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

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

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

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