What makes this guitar special:  Distinguished by the sleek double cutaway body shape which is arched on the top and back resulting in a fairly light guitar with thin edges.  The 540S features a mahogany body bolted to a maple Wizard neck with a 22-fret rosewood fretboard.  It has two IBZ/USA single coils made by DiMarzio which Ibanez describes as "vertical humbucking" pickups in the middle & neck positions along with a Bartolini humbucker mounted in the bridge position.  Components include a double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines.Cosmetic Condition:  Used with typical play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & some scuff marks in the finish.  There are a couple of small stress cracks on either side of the neck pocket.  These are purely superficial, cosmetic finish cracks & not structural.Neck:  Flat, wide profile, one-piece maple Wizard neck with dark rosewood fingerboard & pearloid dot inlays.  22 jumbo frets are in great shape with hardly any wear.  Made in Japan Gotoh tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" locking nut; 25 1/2" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod is functioning.Body:  Thin, solid mahogany body finished in Desert Sun Yellow.  Tremolo bridge Licensed Under Floyd Rose Patents.  Original trem arm included.  Chrome hardware.  Guitar weighs 7 lbs 4.4 oz.Pickups:  DiMarzio IBZ/USA neck & middle single coils with an unoriginal Bartolini bridge humbucker.  Bridge - 11.34K ohms; Middle - 4.91K ohms; Neck - 6.77K ohms.  Master volume & tone controls with knurled knobs.  3 individual on/off mini toggles for each pickup.Case:  Original hardshell case included.
