As the RG Prestige history continues to be written, players have demanded new specs, new finishes and new thrills. In 2009, Ibanez has responded with the new RG1550M. The Ibanez RG1550M is made in Japan by our finest luthiers and has a fast, flat Prestige neck, drop-dead good looks and a double-locking trem, plus new finishes, a maple fretboard and a new pickup configuration featuring DiMarzio(r) Air Norton(tm), True Velvet(tm) and Tone Zone(r) pickups.

Edge Pro Tremolo

In the last two decades, no other guitar maker besides Ibanez has done so much to advance the art and science of the tremolo. The Edge-PRO represents the next phase in locking tremolos.

To avoid the problem of string holder blocks getting lost during string changes, the Edge-PRO's sliding string holders are actually part of the bridge and won't drop from the saddle unit.

With the Edge-PRO design, there's no need to cut off the ball end of your strings when installing new strings.

The Edge-PRO features a unique Sound Metal Chip on each saddle which helps increase sustain right at the most critical area, the intonation point.

Features

The RG1550M features a 5-piece maple/walnut Wizard Prestige neck with maple fretboard.

The Ibanez RG1550M can dial in any tone, from crystal clear to searing and nasty, thanks to its V7 neck pickup, S1 middle pickup and V8 bridge pickup combination.
