A Worthy Reissue of a Hard Rock Classic 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.Incredibly fast Super Wizard neck Back in 1987, the original RG550 featured a 1-piece maple Wizard neck. This reissue takes that design to the next level with a 5-piece maple/walnut Super Wizard

The picture doesn't even come close to doing this guitar Justice. Nearly ready to play right out of the box. I removed a couple of shims from underneath the nut changed the two humbuckers and strings andnow it plays like a dream. I already had the case from another Ibanez guitar I got a few years back that was stolen, but it fit perfectly (the other guitar was an RG 620 prestige).
It sounds great and stays in tune perfectly no matter how much you play with the floating bridge. The small neck profile makes it very easy to play and the action is low enough to make fast playing easy but not so low that it creates fret buzz.
