The Ibanez Genesis Collection is a throwback to the original RG series that debuted in 1987, providing a platform designed for rock guitarists of all types! Just like the originals, the RG550 features the ultra thin Super Wizard neck— constructed of five solid pieces of Maple and Walnut for absolute rock solid stability to provide extra-smooth playing. With the classic Edge tremolo bridge, the most extreme sonic acrobatics can be fearlessly performed with confidence that the guitar will effortlessly return to perfect tuning. The original Ibanez V7, S1, V8 pickups offer a wide range of sound and attack when combined with the 5-way pickup switch. Additionally, incredible tuning stability is achieved through the use of the Gotoh machine heads.
It all started in 1987, the debut of the Ibanez RG was a milestone in rock guitar history. With its spartan look, supreme playability and versatility due to innovative specs, the RG made a big impact and is still evolving today. The Ibanez Genesis Collection brings back vibe of the good old days with precise construction by Japanese craftsmanship, to prove that this iconic guitar has always led the rock guitar scene.

Found new inspiration with this
Found new inspiration with this axe! The neck is almost effortless to play, the maple fretboard is fast and sleek and it has helped with my arthritis tremendously!

Always AWESOME!
banez has never disappointed me. I’ve played their guitars for more than 35 years. Their frets are level and filed nicely. The boards are always level. The trems stay in tune…and I use mine a lot!
This guitar is no exception. Japanese Ibanez guitars are a best value in this series! Bought and exch...

Another Great Ibanez. Thanks AMS!
In all my 40 years of playing, Ibanez never disappointed me. Never one manufacturing defect; never a fault in their instruments. This one is no exception. It was perfect. I lowered the strings and went straight to it! The frets are cleanly installed. The board is clean, super-thin and void free. The...

Prestige quality at a great price!
Had an original RG550 back in the day and always wanted to get another one. Seems like all the ones i ran across were either worn-out out or heavily modified. So i figured I'd try the Genesis reissue. Can't really say anything bad about this guitar. Played great right out of the box and sounds fanta...

A screamer from the past
Having owned an original one of the from the 80’s, and owning a 20th anniversary as well, I had to try one of the Genesis Series. It does not disappoint! Ibanez nailed this guitar. It feels and rips just like an original plucked from a time machine, only with a couple upgrades. The heel joint is an ...
