Description

Ibanez built the PSM10BK as part of its PS Signature Series line, positioning it as a signature-model electric guitar finished in black. The model carried the PSM neck designation and sat within a series distinguished by its bound fretboard and block inlay aesthetic.

The guitar was constructed with a poplar body and a maple neck. The bound Purpleheart fretboard featured white block inlays and carried 22 medium frets across a 305mm radius. The nut width measured 41mm, tapering to 56mm at the 22nd fret, with neck thicknesses of 19.5mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the twelfth. Scale length was 22.2 inches. Hardware was finished in chrome throughout, comprising a Gibraltar Performer bridge with 10.5mm string spacing and a Quik Change III tailpiece. Pickup duty fell to a pair of passive, ceramic Infinity R humbuckers — one at the neck, one at the bridge. The guitar left the factory strung in standard tuning with a .010–.046 gauge set.

Owners requiring setup work, fret dressing, or assistance sourcing compatible replacement parts — including Gibraltar Performer bridge saddles, Quik Change III tailpiece components, or Infinity R pickup replacements — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with Ibanez hardware specifications.

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.
