The Ibanez Genesis Collection RG550 serves as a faithful tribute to the origins of the RG line, combining classic aesthetics with the precise Japanese craftsmanship that technical players have come to expect.
This instrument is designed as a high-performance machine, honed over three decades to prioritize speed, strength, and sonic versatility. Whether you are looking to replicate the shred styles of the late 80s or need a reliable workhorse for modern metal, the RG550 offers a professional platform that honors its heritage without compromising on contemporary playability.
Sound That Commands Attention
The RG550 is engineered to be a tonal chameleon, capable of producing a wide spectrum of sounds to fit any genre. From sparkling cleans to aggressive, high-gain distortion, this guitar’s electronics ensure your playing is always heard with clarity and power.
V7 / S1 / V8 Pickup Configuration: This combination allows you to dial in a vast array of tones. You can achieve everything from crystal-clear clean sounds to searing, aggressive distortion, making it adaptable for complex setlists that require sonic variety.
Basswood Body: Lightweight and well-balanced, the basswood body offers a neutral tone that serves as a perfect foundation for pickups and amplifiers.
Engineered for Speed and Comfort
For players who demand fluid movement and minimal resistance, the RG550 is built to facilitate technical playing styles.
Super Wizard 5-Piece Neck: Crafted from Maple and Walnut, this neck is exceptionally thin and fast yet remains stable and durable. It provides an extra-smooth playing experience ideal for rapid position changes.
Maple Fretboard: Beyond its classic look, the maple fretboard contributes to the guitar's sonic profile by adding crisp, bright highs and strong upper mids, ensuring your notes cut through a dense mix.
Jumbo Frets: Larger frets make playing smoother, with easier string bends and clearer single-note articulation.
Precision Hardware and Stability
Reliability is paramount for a performance instrument, and the RG550 is equipped with hardware designed to keep you in tune through aggressive playing.
Edge Tremolo Bridge: This masterpiece bridge system offers exceptional tuning stability and precise intonation adjustment. It is designed for playing comfort, allowing for deep dive-bombs and flutter effects without sacrificing your tuning.
Gotoh Machine Heads: High-quality machine heads provide superior precision and a smooth feel when tuning, ensuring excellent accuracy before you even lock down the nut.
