Ibanez 540S

manufactured 1992

Played by Larry Mitchell(?), various headbangers

Really good sustain for a guitar that's so thin. My only really widdley widdley metal guitar. I am not one to widdle personally and have so far avoided the B C Rich stuff - probably only because I have never been in the presence of a high end model. My wife likes to tell the story behind the purchase of this one to dinner guests. We were living in Singapore and the bank I was being paid into was both miles away from where we were staying and not on the MRT (tube/train/subway) route. My wife asked if I could give her some money as she didn't have any food. I told her to hang on for a few days and use the credit card in an emergency. That afternoon I saw this guitar in one of the malls on Orchard Road. I went straight to the bank, got the money and then went back and bought the guitar. I also gave my wife some money but for some strange reason she seems to think that my priorities were questionable.
