When the original Ibanez RG550 was released in 1987, it was a monumental occasion in the guitar world. Bright, bold, and impeccably clean, this instrument symbolized both the bravado and no-nonsense approach to fast, technical playing spanning numerous genres. Ibanez Genesis takes you right back to that time - this collection is made in Japan and has the very same neon finishes, HSH (humbucker-single coil-humbucker) configuration with 5-way switcher, and agile basswood body that made the originals worthy of legendary status. Ibanez Genesis guitars are standouts in every way, and they are just waiting for someone to bring them into the musical arena!
