Overview

A Japanese-built P series guitar built for high-octane shredding.

The Ibanez 540PIII Genesis Collection electric guitar fuses premium Japanese craftsmanship with the high-octane design of the P series, delivering a striking instrument built to meet the demands of today's technical players. Its radical reverse body and headstock provide visual impact and unrestricted access to the upper frets, while the lightweight basswood body balances comfort with resonant tone. A Super Wizard five-piece maple/walnut neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard ensure lightning-fast playability, and high-output Infinity pickups translate every note with clarity and punch. With the Edge tremolo bridge and Gotoh tuning machines, this Genesis Collection guitar combines classic Ibanez features with modern precision, ready for high-energy shredding on any stage.

Lightweight Basswood Construction and Signature Reverse Body Style

The 540PIII features the P series' distinctive reverse body, crafted from lightweight basswood for a balanced, resonant sound. Its unique silhouette not only turns heads on stage but also enhances upper-fret access for technical solos and sweeping riffs. Basswood's natural tonal neutrality allows the guitar to respond dynamically across a wide range of playing styles, from aggressive palm-muted chugging to melodic tapping passages. With smooth contours and ergonomic shaping, the reverse body ensures comfort during extended sessions while producing a voice that is punchy, articulate and perfectly suited for shredding.

Super Wizard Neck Delivers Lightning-Fast Playability

The Super Wizard five-piece maple/walnut neck provides exceptional stability, speed and comfort across all 24 jumbo frets. Thin and flat, it allows effortless transitions between chords, intricate scales, and fast lead lines, while the laminated construction resists warping and maintains long-term durability. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard, the neck gives a well-balanced tone with a warm midrange and smooth highs, ensuring clarity and articulation even under the fastest runs. Whether shredding solos, tapping complex patterns or chugging through heavy riffs, the 540PIII's neck keeps every note precise and every phrase fully under the player's control.

Infinity Pickups Provide High-Output Precision and Clarity

The 540PIII is equipped with Infinity R and V8 pickups, engineered to handle high-gain distortion without losing tonal clarity. They respond dynamically to both aggressive picking and subtle articulation, delivering tight low end, crushing midrange and crisp highs. Each note is defined and balanced, making it ideal for shredding solos, staccato riffs or complex chord work. The pickups excel at translating nuanced technique into sound, ensuring that even rapid-fire passages maintain clarity. Coupled with the guitar's fast neck and resonant basswood body, the Infinity pickups allow players to execute high-energy performances with professional-level precision and tonal control.

Edge Tremolo and Gotoh Hardware Ensure Stability and Reliability

Ibanez outfitted the 540PIII with the Edge tremolo bridge, offering smooth pitch modulation, excellent sustain and precise intonation adjustment. Gotoh machine heads provide superior tuning stability and smooth, accurate string winding. Jumbo frets further enhance playability, allowing effortless bends and expressive single-note runs. These premium hardware components not only maintain performance during intense playing but also add a polished, professional look to the guitar. Together, they ensure that the instrument remains rock-solid under demanding live and studio conditions, delivering both reliability and visual appeal.
