Ibanez - RG550-DY Genesis Dessert Yellow

The Ibanez RG550 is inspired by the ‘80s – a true shred guitar made for ripping rock solos.

A milestone for rock guitars, the creation of the RG brought about a new generation of virtuosos. Ibanez was at the forefront thanks to the RG’s extreme playability, Spartan looks and searing tone.

Body & neck

The RG550 utilises an ergonomically-shaped basswood body and bolt-on five piece Maple and Walnut neck.

The ultra slim Wizard neck shape allows you to glide up and down the Granadillo fretboard. Sharktooth inlays pay homage to the original ‘80s models.

Sound

The three pickup combination makes the RG550 a truly versatile instrument.

Switch between heavy chugging using the V8 bridge humbucker and middle single coil S1 for springy clarity. The V7 in the neck offers classic rock warmth for leads.  

Hardware

Get a classic Vai divebomb sound going with the Edge tremolo bridge. It’ll ensure stable tuning however deep you go.
