This is the European market only 24-fret version of the 540Pii / 540PSH body shape; i.e. the 22-fret 540PSH was sold in the states, but this 540Pii was Euro market only.
You could scour the internet constantly for the next seven decades and never find a 1989 Ibanez 540Pii DY but here it is! This guitar is an exceedingly rare unicorn. This one is in astoundingly awesome condition and looks like its 28 days old, not 28 years old! Also, since it's an '89 it doesn't have the regrettable "Custom Made" block inlay that was on the 21st fret of the 1990 540Pii; this '89 is sharktooth inlay all the way.
I bought this guitar from a guy whose Dad frequently traveled to Europe for his work and picked this one up on a business trip around the time it was first released. It doesn't look like it was played at all in subsequent years, though there are a few tiny dings.
I had to think long and hard about listing this one. I might end this auction at any time, as I realize I'll never ever find another one of these ever.
Ships in its chainsaw shaped Original Hardshell case (OHSC) to the continental USA only.
