USED Ibanez / S540FM Butterscotch Transparent Sunburst (BTS) [3.30 kg / Manufactured in 1997]

The S Series is highly regarded for its ultra-thin body shape, excellent playability, and functionality. This is an Ibanez Made in Japan S540FM, manufactured around 1997 during the mid-production period.

It features a flamed maple top and mahogany body, a Wizard-shaped maple neck, a bound rosewood fingerboard, and an HSH pickup configuration consisting of an Ibanez QM1, an Ibanez QMS1, and a replaced Seymour Duncan TB-5 Duncan Custom pickup; the bridge is equipped with a Lo-Pro Edge.

This S Series Prestige model offers exceptional playability and is a practical choice with its HSH pickup configuration.

The truss rod cover is missing, and the rear pickup, tone knob, lock nut, and screws have been replaced. Signs of use are visible (notable dents on the lower edge, discoloration, impact marks, small scratches, and scuff marks around the body’s perimeter, picking marks, buckle marks, and discoloration, tarnish, pitting, and rust on metal parts and screws, etc.).The soft case has sticky residue from stickers.

Set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, and action adjustment); the frets are at a height that poses no problem for playing, and the truss rod can be adjusted in both tightening and loosening directions—operation has been confirmed up to ±60°.
