The 540S is an S series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1987. It was originally called the PRO540 Saber as part of the Roadstar II/Roadstar Pro series. It was the initial model in what would come to be known as the S series. The 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 has a traditional bolt-on neck joint with a stamped metal plate. For 1991 the original Edge tremolo was replaced by the new low-profile version.

  • The 540S is an S series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1987. It was originally called the PRO540 Saber as part of the Roadstar II/Roadstar Pro series. It was the initial model in what would come to be known as the S series. The 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 features a mahogany body bolted to a maple Wizard neck with a 22-fret rosewood fretboard with dot position markers. It uses IBZ/USA pickups made by DiMarzio with a humbucker mounted in a pickup ring at the bridge and single-coils (which Ibanez describes as "vertical humbucking" pickups) in the middle and neck positions. Components include a double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines. The 540S has a traditional bolt-on neck joint with a stamped metal plate. For 1991 the original Edge tremolo was replaced by the new low-profile version. The 540SL is a left-handed version. The 540SFM is a similar model with a flame maple top. The 540SLTD is a similar model with a humbucking pickup in place of the single-coil in the neck position (i.e. HSH pickup configuration). In 1992 a new version of the 540S was sold alongside this model in the United States. The new version has a humbucker replacing the single-coil pickup in the neck position and a maple fretboard. For 1993 the HSH version would be renamed the S540 and continued while this HSS version of the 540S was discontinued.
