Full Description
The Ibanez Genesis Collection 540PIII brings back one of the most beloved ‘80s shred machines, faithfully reissued with modern precision while retaining its classic character. With its Super Wizard 5-piece maple/walnut neck and razor-thin profile (17mm at the 1st fret), this guitar offers lightning-fast playability and exceptional comfort across all 24 jumbo frets. A bound rosewood fingerboard with bold white sharktooth inlays completes the unmistakable Ibanez aesthetic.
The lightweight basswood body keeps the guitar balanced and resonant, while the legendary Edge tremolo bridge paired with a locking nut ensures rock-solid tuning stability — even with the most extreme whammy bar abuse. Black hardware and clean lines keep the look sleek and timeless, staying true to its Genesis Collection roots.
Electronics are dialed for versatility and punch, with an Infinity R ceramic neck humbucker delivering smooth, defined leads, and a V8 Alnico bridge humbucker offering tight lows and searing highs. Together, they provide everything from articulate cleans to saturated high-gain tones, making the 540PIII an all-around shred powerhouse.
Condition: This is a brand new Ibanez Genesis Collection 540PIII. It includes Ibanez's full manufacturer warranty. It also comes equipped with our Pro-Tech setup so the guitar is ready to rip straight out of the box. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized Ibanez dealer.

Overall great customer service and very friendly demeanor from Matt and Kristen at Drop Dee. Guitar matched its description perfectly and included everything as listed.

I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
