Description

Ibanez produced the IHB541BR as part of the POWERPAD® 541 series, a line of gig bags designed specifically to fit hollowbody electric guitars. The brown colourway distinguished it from generic black canvas alternatives, and the matched-colour heavyweight zippers reinforced that intentional design consistency across the bag's exterior.

The bag was built around 25mm cushioning on the sides, a padded bottom rubber pad, and a water-shedding fabric exterior with a waterproof zipper — construction choices aimed at protecting a hollowbody's more vulnerable finish and bracing from incidental contact during transit. An adjustable neck pillow provided interior support for the headstock area. Cushioned handles eased carrying, and four external pockets offered storage for accessories. The bag's overall exterior runs 1145mm long by 445mm wide by 125mm deep, with an interior cavity of 1120mm overall length, 410mm lower body width, 325mm upper body width, 580mm lower body length, 130mm neck width, and 110mm depth. Assembled weight is 1.37kg.

Owners sourcing a replacement bag or verifying fit for a specific hollowbody model should cross-reference the interior cavity dimensions above; a qualified guitar technician or luthier can advise on padding adjustments or strap repairs if the original hardware shows wear.

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.

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.
