Description

Ibanez produced the PS60BK as part of the PS Signature Series line of electric guitars. The Black (BK) finish positioned this model within the series alongside other colour variants. The PS designation indicates its place in the Signature Series family within the Ibanez catalogue.

The PS60BK was built on a Poplar body, paired with a maple neck carrying a bound Purpleheart fretboard with white block inlays. The guitar featured 22 medium frets on a 305mm radius board, with a nut width of 43mm and a scale length of 628mm (24.7 inches). Neck thickness measures 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the twelfth. Electronics consisted of two passive ceramic Infinity R humbucker pickups — one at the neck, one at the bridge — with chrome hardware throughout. The bridge was a Gibraltar Performer unit with 10.5mm string spacing, complemented by a Quik Change III tailpiece. The guitar left the factory strung with a .010–.046 gauge set in standard tuning.

Owners seeking replacement parts — including compatible bridge saddles, tailpiece components, or pickup covers — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier who can cross-reference the Gibraltar Performer and Quik Change III specifications against current aftermarket offerings.

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.

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.
