Description

When the Ibanez RG550 debuted in 1987, it helped redefine what a high-performance electric guitar could be. Its lightning-fast neck, versatile HSH pickup configuration and precision locking tremolo quickly made it a favorite among players pushing the boundaries of rock, metal and instrumental guitar. The RG550 Genesis Collection faithfully revives that groundbreaking design using the original styling, Japanese craftsmanship and performance-driven features that established the RG as a modern classic. Built around a basswood body with a Super Wizard 5-piece maple/walnut neck, this Made in Japan electric guitar delivers exceptional speed, balance and playing comfort. A trio of V7, S1 and V8 pickups offers everything from sparkling cleans to high-gain aggression, while the legendary Edge tremolo and Gotoh machine heads provide outstanding tuning stability for expressive playing. More than a tribute, the RG550 Genesis Collection captures the spirit of one of Ibanez's most influential instruments for a new generation of players.
