Full Description
View Full DescriptionSuper wizard speed and feel
Ibanez’s Super Wizard neck is designed for players who thrive on speed and precision. Crafted from a 5-piece maple and walnut laminate, it’s slim, stable and built to last, measuring just 17 mm at the 1st fret and 19 mm at the 12th. The satin finish makes fast runs feel effortless, while the bound rosewood fretboard with a flat 430 mm radius encourages clean bends and smooth legato. With 24 jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale, every note rings out clearly, giving shredders the ultimate platform for technical playing
Edge trem stability and control
The legendary Edge tremolo is a cornerstone of Ibanez design, and here it shines with silky smooth travel and pinpoint return to pitch. It gives you the freedom to divebomb, flutter or subtly add vibrato, all while keeping your tuning solid. Combined with precision Gotoh machine heads and a tight factory setup, the Edge delivers outstanding tuning stability and intonation accuracy. It’s a bridge trusted by professionals for decades, offering both comfort and the confidence to push your performance to the limit
Infinity R and V8 power
The pickup pairing of Infinity R in the neck and V8 in the bridge covers a huge tonal spectrum. The Infinity R delivers warm yet articulate neck tones, while the V8 packs a punch with tight lows and crisp highs perfect for heavy riffs and cutting solos. Even under saturated distortion, the pickups retain clarity, making complex chords and fast runs equally defined. Add in the versatile 5-way switching and you’ve got an instrument that can jump from smooth cleans to roaring leads with just a flick of the lever
Genesis craft and iconic style
As part of the Genesis Collection, the 540PIII is a celebration of Ibanez’s rich legacy of innovation. Made in Japan, it recreates one of the brand’s most radical designs with modern precision and attention to detail. The striking reverse body and headstock stand out on stage, while the bold Desert Sun Yellow finish delivers pure retro flair. Beyond the looks, the gloss polyester body and premium build ensure it’s ready for the road, combining classic Ibanez style with the reliability today’s players demand. It’s a true statement guitar built for those who want to be seen and heard
