Step into the realm of legendary tones and unrivaled playability with the Ibanez Genesis Collection RG550 in Black. This iconic guitar brings back the celebrated features of the original 1987 RG550, reimagined for the modern guitarist who demands precision, speed, and versatility.

Iconic Design and Craftsmanship

The RG550 is constructed with a Basswood body, providing a balanced and resonant tone. Its sleek, contoured shape not only looks stunning but also ensures comfort during long playing sessions.

Unmatched Playability

The Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck is designed for lightning-fast playability, allowing you to execute complex solos and rapid-fire riffs with ease. Its ultra-smooth surface and thin profile make it perfect for shredders and technical players. The Maple fretboard delivers crisp, bright highs and strong upper mids, ensuring every note rings out with clarity and precision.

Versatile and Powerful Pickups

Equipped with the versatile V7, S1, and V8 pickups, the RG550 offers a wide range of tonal possibilities. The V7 neck pickup provides warm, smooth tones, the S1 middle pickup adds bright, clear sounds, and the V8 bridge pickup delivers powerful, punchy tones. Whether you need crystal-clear cleans, gritty overdrives, or searing leads, this guitar has you covered.

Advanced Hardware for Optimal Performance

The Edge tremolo bridge is a masterpiece of design, offering exceptional tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment, and unparalleled playing comfort. Coupled with Gotoh machine heads and a locking nut, this setup ensures that your guitar stays in tune, even during the most aggressive whammy bar dives.
