WTB - Ibanez s540 with lo pro tremolo

2003amxl

Looking for a 90's s540, preferably with a SFM/SBM/BM/OL finish.

I don't mind a few dings as long as the frets are good,  it's crack free on the neck joint and on the back of the headstock where the nut bolts go. The only must is it has a lo pro edge trem.

Should you happen to have one and are looking for a gypsy jazz guitar i have a Gitane DG-255 waiting to trade.

A long shot but this is particular model is my first choice, the S540OL

I have the same model but in metallic green. The ones with the maple boards are rare as hens' teeth, I think that they were originally available only in the US, so you might have better luck trying to import one.

You lucky devil. The US and Japan seem to have had all the prettiest S series runs. The models with the bound rosewood necks and oval inlays are still great looking though.

I have an S520WNF from 2000 for sale. Original Edge Tremolo...

Bought it in the US.

Nice guitar jay, i spied it on ebay in my seemingly endless search for a 540. That's the finish i'd like but i'm really after that lo pro and extra single coil.

#Bump. Also, if you happen to own this one off LA custom shop 24 fret S540 made for shawn lane in 1993, i would also be interested in that.

Thanks for posting that, that's my favourite finish. I believe that's an s570 which comes with an original edge unfortunately for me.

I can't say it's a lo-pro, but definitely isn't an Edge. Zoom into the pics and you'll see the hex bolt heads to lock strings are located right by the saddles (not under/beneath the fine tuners like in an Edge)

Yeah you're right, looks more like a lo-trs trem which would make this th lower end S470 model.... for 600 quid...
