{"product_id":"ibanez-540r-radius-black-1989","title":"Ibanez 540R Radius Black 1989","description":"\u003cp\u003eIbanez 540R Radius, black, made in Japan 1989. The 540R was part of the Roadstar Pro series, and was made from 1987-94 at the excellent Fujigen factory. The model became the basis for the later Joe Satriani signature guitar, which borrowed most of the curves and hardware, although does have a different neck profile. This one dates to 1989 and has aged pretty gracefully: a couple of knocks and scuffs, but really it's in great shape overall. The neck is a quick, slim D shape, although it's not quite as agressively square and flat as later RG models; it feels great in the hand. The pickups are passive and nicely voiced, with a sparkling clarity and fast attack from the single coils and a juicy, wide, warm growl from the humbucker. The Floyd is in good order and holds tune like a champ. This is heaps of guitar for the dime and a cool piece of shred history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ibanez 540R Radius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Japan, 1989, Fujigen Gakki factory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial\u003c\/strong\u003e: F938050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black, gloss poly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: Basswood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maple, Rosewood slab fretboard, 16\" radius, 25.5\" scale, 42mm nut, slim D 'Ultra' shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.405kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMods\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups\u003c\/strong\u003e: IBZ USA C1 single coil x2, F1 humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: basic vintage hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic condition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: minor finish wear.
