What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Basswood body Big, warm midrange tones
Edge tremolo Virtually frictionless operation
Granadillo fretboard Distinct "bell-like" tone, similar to rosewood
Jumbo frets Makes bending strings easier

The Ibanez RG550DX Genesis Collection boasts a prominent feature of the original RG: the ultra-thin Super Wizard neck -- constructed of five glued, solid pieces of Maple/Walnut for absolute rock solid stability as well as extra-smooth playing. The classic Edge tremolo bridge ensures that the most extreme sonic acrobatics can be fearlessly performed and the guitar will effortlessly return to perfect tuning. The original Ibanez V7, S1 and V8 pickups offer a wide range of tones and attack when combined with the 5-way pickup selector switch. The RG550DX also features a beautiful Granadillo fretboard with a striking Sharktooth inlay.

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 its innovative specs, the RG made a big impact and continues to evolve today. The Ibanez Genesis Collection brings back the vibe of the good old days with precise construction by Japanese craftsmanship, proving that this iconic guitar has always and will always lead the rock guitar scene.

I used to own an Ibanez RG760 Ruby RedThis is NOT an RG760 lolBut it is the same color and I am very happy about that! The neck is VERY close. Plays very fast. As this was a Blemished model here is what the issue was. The fretboard looked gradient faded. Which to be honest makes it unique. I like unique.Plays like butter. That's the goodThe bad... Bridge pickup... UghNo guys at all. Sounds very flat and tame. So I bought an SD JB that I will be swapping out for it. The other two pickups are perfectly fine. Good bluesy tones. For the money I saved $80 for a Seymour Duncan is money well spent. I'm still under $100 off of regular price. In a nutshell if you are looking for an old school RG like me, this is awesome!
