  • GENESIS COLLECTION ELECTRIC GUITARS - The Genesis collection reissue takes it ancestor's classic design and adds a few modern touches. The RG550 features the Gotoh machine head that provides super precision, smooth feel, and minimal back lush.
  • INCREDIBLY FAST WIZARD NECK - You'll be able to execute lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-on with ease. Capping the Super Wizard neck is a 24-fret maple fingerboard, loaded with jumbo frets that are perfect for big note bends.
  • MASSIVE ARRAY OF TONES - An S1 in the mid position exhibits a traditional-sounding yet high-output single-coil tone. A V8 bridge pickup supplies a warm, articulate sound with sizzling overtones. These pickups yield excellent harmonics without excessive brightness.
  • COMFORTABLE CONTOUR GUITAR - You'll love these sleek and comfortably contoured guitars - not only do they hug your body and forearm, but their deep treble-side cutaway offers unrestricted access to all 24 frets.
  • CLASSIC-STYLE RG - The RG550 features the classic-style neck tilt neck joint with stamped metal plate that provides the classic RG feel. Includes a Basswood body that produces warm, growling tones with defined mids.
Color: Desert Sun 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.
