Description

Ibanez produced the IAB540BK as part of its Powerpad gig bag range, positioning it as a protective carrying solution for full-size acoustic guitars. The black colourway (BK suffix) was the variant offered in this line.

The bag featured synthetic leather covering over the high-wear sections at the bottom and sides, reinforced by Ibanez's Powerpad cushioning system. Firm edge cushioning measured 25mm at the bottom and 15mm at the sides. A smart zipper design allowed for quick instrument removal. Additional external storage pockets and backpack straps were included. The bag weighed 1.55 kg and carried an exterior footprint of 1120mm × 445mm × 150mm (L × W × D), with an interior overall length of 1095mm, interior lower body width of 410mm, interior depth of 130mm, interior upper body width of 325mm, interior lower body length of 590mm, and interior neck width of 130mm.

Owners checking fit compatibility for a replacement bag should compare those interior dimensions carefully against their instrument's body measurements; a guitar technician or luthier can assist with any setup or instrument-care questions.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
