Ibanez S540

The second Ibanez. I got it professionally tuned up and modified (PUs, wiring, fret wire replacement....)

Pu configuration is Duncan 59 Trembacker, Bartolini V90s, and Duncan JB Trembacker from neck to bridge.


I prefer this one to the RG only because the number of frets being 22 allowing pickup placements closer to Fender Strats.


I am contented this guitar sounding very close to my Fender only that this has two studs on the bridge resulting in less sustain; six screws has more sustain, you know...

You see the JB installed upside down only for the coil tap wiring's purpose. As a matter of fact, 59 is installed upside down as well that nobody can tell because there's no Duncan logo on it.

The sound sample of my musics are all recorded with this guitar.

However, with its advanced and integrated DAW functionality, it was a good deal; it really eliminated my synth rack, hard disk recorders, and audio mixer. I traded in all the BOSS stomps together to make it 4 grand. All my music sample is made out of this keyboard without any external recorder/ synth. As a matter of fact, those recordings were from my Berklee days where I was exploring the world of composition first in my lifetime. It is still my main keyboard only with its MIDI functions. Though still there is a big enthusiasts' community of this key, I should admit it sounds and looks obsolete today, and if you wish to have the equivalent synthesis, you can have it installed on your PC: Korg has released a software bundle called Legacy Collection which includes its Wave Station, M1 syn

Another instrument of my daughter that she got for her second birthday present. I thought this instrument is called melodica in general... turned out to have so many aliases including 'melodion (Suzuki), melodia (Diana), pianica (Yamaha), mylodica (Sound Electra), "melodihorn", and clavietta.'
