“The Ibanez RG550 is a shredder’s dream, boasting high-speed performance and bold, ’80s-style aesthetics. Originally released in 1987, the RG550 modernized the electric guitar for a new generation of players. It quickly became popular among rock and metal guitarists who demanded a fast, easy-to-play instrument. The Ibanez Genesis Collection RG550 is a reimagining of a classic, combining the adventurousness of early models with current-day revisions. Its D-shape Super Wizard neck, lightweight basswood body, HSH pickup configuration and dive-bombing Edge tremolo guarantees playability and versatility. Contoured DesignOne of the hallmark features of the Ibanez RG series is the exceptionally sculpted body. The RG550 sports an ergonomic build with a deep tummy cut on the back and an arm contour on the front for enhanced comfort. Its basswood body also comes in three eye-catching, original ’80s and ’90s RG colors, including Road Flare Red, Desert Sun Yellow and Purple Neon. Not just for looks, basswood is known for its punchiness and definition, making it ideal for genres like hard rock and metal. Chords ring out with clarity and lead lines cut through a mix with ease, especially under high-gain settings. Additionally, basswood is lightweight, so the RG550 is continuously wieldable during prolonged practice sessions, rehearsals and onstage performance. Three Pickups for Tonal VariationThe Ibanez RG550 comes equipped with three pickups in an HSH configuration. As a notable improvement over the original guitar, these include the refreshed Ibanez V7 (neck), S1 (middle) and V8 (bridge). While undeniably voiced for heavier genres, this array is noted for its versatility. A 5-way pickup selector helps players find the sweet spot for every situation, and Ibanez split-coil sounds—positions 2 and 4 on the switch—are particularly soulful for low- to mid-gain tones. On its own, the V7 neck serves up rich rhythms or full-bodied leads through its passive ceramic magnet, while the V8 bridge dishes out searing, high-output alnico magic suited to all styles of riffage. Lightning-Quick Wizard NeckIbanez loaded the Genesis Collection RG550 with an ultraplayable Super Wizard neck, featuring a maple fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets. The 5-piece maple and walnut laminate is carved into a flat D-shape that’s a slender 3/4″” thick at the 12th fret. Players who prefer to fly around the fingerboard will appreciate the 16.9″” radius that aids in technical riffing and lead playing, further assisted by 9–42 gauge strings in standard tuning from the factory. Virtually everything about the Ibanez RG550 screams “”playability,”” and the Super Wizard neck is a testament to Ibanez’s philosophy of helping guitar players shred. Locking Tremolo Improves StabilityA sturdy locking tremolo system is one of the most characteristic features of the RG550, consistent with all iterations over the decades.
