540S
Custom

SN: F019712 YEAR: 1990 OWNER: Eike Steffen

Details & History

The 540 S (Or "S 540" how it's used in common, but a scan of an old Ibanez-Catalogue and the small sticker at the back of the Headstock say "540 S") I don't know really much about it (it was an exchange deal with a Yamaha-Synthesizer a few years ago). It used to be Neon Yellow (urgh). I sanded it off, sprayed it white, painted the text and ornaments with a permanent text marker on the body and let a professional do a perfect clear finish. The Logo at the bottom is just a sticker.  Since I'm a Seymour Duncan-Fan I put a SH-4 at the bridge position and moved the (also not original) pink DiMarzio-Humbucker from bridge-to neck-position. I have it tuned to D - surprisingly it has a good low end with the Neck-PU despite the thin body. It has 22 frets and the "Custom made" inlay in the 21nd fret (quite odd, it's not custom made, is it?)
Serial Number: F019712
