Product Description
The Ibanez RG is a modern classic with sharp and elegant aesthetics catching the eyes of many hard rockers and metalheads as far back as the late eighties. The Genesis Collection RG550 harkens back to the golden era of shred, with a super-versatile H/S/H pickup configuration, Edge double-locking tremolo system and its vibrant colour scheme.
Designed for unrestricted movement and supreme comfort
The RG has always been a premium instrument built purely for performance. With a lightweight basswood body, you won't feel strain on your back or shoulders when playing long sets live, and you can expect a full-bodied sound thanks to the wood's balanced tonal qualities.
A bolt-on 5-piece satin maple/walnut neck provides a snappy response and smooth action, perfect for complex riffs or solos that need loads of cut in frantic mixes. The insanely thin Super Wizard neck profile will make fast passages a breeze to play, combined with jumbo frets offering maximum playability up and down the fretboard.
Classic shredder pickups
Ibanez's V7 and V8 humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions handle high doses of gain without any issues. Giving you lots of saturation and top-end clarity, these are perfect for heavier genres of music. The S1 single-coil in the middle position however achieves S-style tones when used on its own, ideal for playing clean chords or arpeggios.
Quality hardware
A double-locking Edge tremolo system offers incredible tuning stability, no matter how extreme your divebombs or flutters might be. With all hardware appointments finished in black, this super-sleek looking guitar will inspire you to just pick it up and shred!
