The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to feature the Ibanez Genesis Collection 540PIII in sleek Black. Unavailable for over 30 years, this legendary Japanese-built reissue brings back the radical reverse body style and headstock of the iconic late-'80s Power Series (540PII)—a model revered by technical guitarists and made famous by shred virtuoso Alex Skolnick. Crafted in Japan with extreme precision, the 540PIII delivers true golden-era Ibanez performance for modern rock and metal players who demand speed, tone, and unmistakable style.
Built around a resonant, lightweight basswood body, the 540PIII provides a balanced, punchy frequency response that cuts cleanly through heavy mixes. The ultra-thin 5-piece Maple/Walnut Super Wizard neck paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets ensures frictionless upper-fret access, lightning-fast lead runs, and effortless string bends.
Versatile Pickups & Rock-Solid HardwareDriven by an Infinity R ceramic neck humbucker (in a single-coil-sized footprint to preserve neck position warmth) and a high-output V8 Alnico bridge humbucker, this instrument handles everything from pristine cleans to searing high-gain leads without losing note definition. Anchored by the original masterpiece Ibanez Edge locking tremolo bridge and precision Gotoh machine heads, you get absolute pitch stability during deep dive-bombs and aggressive squeals.
