Ibanez RG540 (conversion)
owner:
Star☆Cycle
This is an SSH version of RG540 and RG550, rarely seen used, made in 1989, the body was faded and yellowish white when I got it used, but the stud area was rattling and in terrible condition, so I got the whole body at an auction. I replaced it with a purple neon color RG550. It's a niche.
Both volume and tone are push/pull switch with coil tap and high pass switch respectively.
Arming adjuster installed.
The color changes depending on the angle you look at it, a Majora-like color hassle.
Too bad the head is not a matching color because of the Nicoichi.
