  • The S series is 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-CT5 features a mahogany body with a flame maple top bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fretboard with oval position markers. It uses IBZ/USA pickups made by DiMarzio with a humbuckers mounted in pickup rings at the bridge and neck flanking a single-coil. Components include an HQ synchronized tremolo bridge and locking Gotoh tuning machines. The 540S-CT5 has a sculpted All-Access neck joint without a metal plate. It was among the first models offered with this joint type which has since become the standard for Ibanez guitars. The 540SC is a near identical model which was sold in the US market. The 540SLTD is a related model with a double locking tremolo and sharktooth fretboard inlays. The 540S-CT5 was discontinued in 1990. It was replaced by the 540S-CT6 which is very similar but adds a coil-tap switch.
