Ibanez - RG550 RG Genesis Collection, 6 String String Solid-Body Electric Guitar, Right, Desert Yellow
First built in 1987, the original Ibanez RG550 is revered by rock and metal guitarists. This Genesis Collection reissue takes its ancestor's classic design and adds a few modern touches. The original's 1-piece maple neck has been upgraded with a 5-piece laminated maple/walnut one. Its versatile HSH pickup configuration has been overhauled with modern V7 and V8 humbuckers. The RG550 features a comfortably contoured basswood body, resonating with a warm growl and enough midrange definition to cut through a dense mix. Twist, bend, and dive-bomb to your heart's content, thanks to an Edge locking tremolo. Loaded with aggressive styling (including eye-grabbing black hardware), the RG550 is a fast-playing, hard-rocking tone machine.
Features
- Super Wizard 5pc Maple/Walnut neck - The Super Wizard 5pc Maple/Walnut neck provides extra-smooth playing.
- V7 / S1 / V8 pickups - The RG can dial in any tone, from crystal clear to searing and nasty, thanks to its V7 neck pickup, S1 middle pickup and V8 bridge pickup combination.
- Maple fretboard - The Maple fretboard provide crisp, bright highs and strong upper mids.
- Edge tremolo bridge - The masterpiece Edge bridge offers exceptional tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment, and playing comfort.
- Gotoh® machine heads - Gotoh® machine heads provide super precision, smooth feel, and minimal back lush.
