The Ibanez RG550 Genesis Collection in Electric Blue brings the original late-’80s RG formula back with Japanese craftsmanship and the fast, aggressive feel that made the model a classic. Its basswood body keeps the response balanced and resonant, while the ultra-thin Super Wizard five-piece maple/walnut neck and maple fingerboard are built for speed, precision, and effortless upper-register playing.
The HSH V7/S1/V8 pickup set gives the RG550 a wide tonal range, from clear, cutting cleans to powerful rock and metal tones. Ibanez’s legendary Edge locking tremolo provides smooth pitch control with excellent tuning stability, while Gotoh machine heads complete a high-performance instrument designed for players who want the unmistakable feel of a classic Japanese RG.
