Description

Ibanez RG550 Genesis Collection — the shred machine, reborn

The guitar that defined the superstrat, built again in Japan the way it was meant to be. The RG550 Genesis Collection pairs a basswood body with the ultra-thin Super Wizard HP 5-piece maple/walnut neck, 24 jumbo frets, and the original Edge locking tremolo — the setup that made the RG the weapon of choice for a generation of shredders.

  • Super Wizard HP 5pc maple/walnut neck, 24 jumbo frets
  • Original Edge double-locking tremolo system
