SSJ - 1987 Ibanez 540p vs 1988 Ibanez 540r - Gear Review

A little video comparing the Ibanez 540p (power) to the 540r (radius).
Babble, no sound examples. It’s about the specifics of the guitars. They both sound like an Ibanez lol. #ibanez #dimarzio #satriani #roadstar #roadstarseries #gear #gearreviews #gearreview #jsseries #vintageguitars

Edit:
Push pull on the JS1000 (and on my 900) splits both the bridge and the neck humbucker of course. I also prefer push pull over push push because with push pull I know what’s going on (status of the pot).
All 1988 540p I’ve seen have the toggles not the five way. Only 540p ii have the five way (1988-1991)
Ibanez offered the 540r guitars in HH also. That’s even more Satch, especially if you add the push pull mod for the coil split and maybe install a PAF Pro in neck and FRED in Bridge (keep the IBZUSA ones tho!!)
My 540p weighs 3.3kg 7.27lbs (vs 3.1kg/3.2kg for the JS series)
Additional 540p colors for 1988: carotene orange violet pearl, dark grey
540p Wizard neck specs:
62mm width at nut
88mm at last feet
21.5 thickness at 1st fret
23.5 at thickness 12th fret

Good stuff homie!
Looooooove the MIJ Ibanez, I'm up to 10 in my collection now. I'm sure there will be more!
Sweet axe!

10 huh. I have half that 😢Cause that 550 slipped through my fingers. Else I’d have 6. #hopeneverdies

Thank you. My first really good guitar was an 87 540p. It was stolen 20 years ago. I had this same colour.

I am very sorry to hear that. Maybe you can find another one, they’re around!
