Ibanez 540PIII Genesis, Black Overview
The Ibanez 540PIII Genesis is a bold reissue of a cult classic, bringing back the radical reverse body shape and headstock that made the original P series such a standout in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Built in Japan with the precision and flair Ibanez are known for, it combines sharp looks with a fast-playing Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck and bound Rosewood fretboard, giving it the kind of slick feel that invites speedy riffs and solos.
Powered by an Infinity R in the neck and a V8 in the bridge, this guitar is voiced for punchy rhythm work and soaring leads, all kept in check by the rock-solid Edge tremolo system and Gotoh hardware. Lightweight thanks to its Basswood body and finished in a sleek black gloss, the 540PIII Genesis balances throwback style with modern reliability, making it a serious player’s instrument built to take the stage by storm.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionSuper Wizard neck feel
The Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck is built for sheer speed and fluid playability. With its ultra-slim profile and smooth satin finish, it makes light work of fast runs, tapping, and complex chord shapes. Paired with a bound rosewood fretboard and 24 jumbo frets, it’s designed to feel slick under the fingers while giving you plenty of range across the entire neck
Pickups with punch
The combination of an Infinity R in the neck and a V8 in the bridge gives this guitar a versatile edge. The Infinity R offers tight, clear rhythm tones, while the V8 brings extra bite and output for searing leads. Together with the 5-way switch, you can cover everything from chunky chords to cutting solos without losing clarity, even under heavy gain
Edge tremolo stability
The Edge tremolo is a legendary piece of Ibanez hardware, and here it delivers the smooth travel and tuning reliability that players demand. Dive-bombs, subtle vibrato, or full-on whammy abuse are all on the cards, safe in the knowledge that the locking nut and Gotoh machine heads will keep things stable. It’s a trusted system for guitarists who like to push their playing style hard
Classic P series design
The 540PIII Genesis revives the bold, reversed body shape and headstock of the original P series, giving it a striking look that sets it apart from the rest of the Ibanez line-up. Its lightweight basswood body ensures comfort during long sets, while the sleek black gloss finish keeps the aesthetic sharp and timeless. It’s a modern reissue that pays tribute to a cult classic, built in Japan to the highest standards
