Description

The Ibanez RG550 is built for players who live for speed, precision, and standout style. First introduced in 1987, this iconic model set a new standard for rock and metal guitarists, delivering lightning-fast playability and a sleek, aggressive look that defined an era. Now reimagined in the Genesis Collection, the RG550 blends vintage attitude with modern enhancements for today’s shred enthusiasts. Featuring the ultra-thin Super Wizard neck for effortless fretwork, a lightweight basswood body for comfort on stage, a versatile HSH pickup setup for a wide tonal range, and the legendary Edge tremolo for extreme whammy action, this guitar is a true performance powerhouse.

Features 

  • Lightweight basswood body with contoured design for maximum comfort and stage-ready style.
  • Punchy and defined tone ideal for hard rock and metal, with excellent clarity under high-gain settings.
  • HSH pickup configuration with Ibanez V7 neck, S1 middle, and V8 bridge for versatile tonal options.
  • 5-way pickup selector with split-coil positions for soulful low- to mid-gain tones.
  • Super Wizard 5-piece maple/walnut neck with maple fingerboard for lightning-fast playability.
  • 24 jumbo frets and 16.9" radius for smooth technical riffing and lead playing.
  • Factory setup with 9–42 gauge strings in standard tuning for effortless bends and speed.
  • Ibanez Edge floating tremolo and locking nut for rock-solid tuning stability during extreme whammy action.
  • Gotoh machine heads for precise, smooth tuning adjustments.
  • Available in bold ’80s-inspired finishes of Black and Electric Blue
