Description
IBANEZ RG550 Prestige Purple Neon
The Ibanez RG550 from the Genesis Collection revives the legendary 1987 shred machine with modern precision and unmistakable Japanese craftsmanship. Built in Japan to Prestige standards, this reissue delivers the ultra-fast playability, bold tones, and slick aesthetics that defined an era—now finished in eye-catching Purple Neon.
The RG550 is all about speed, tone, and attitude. Its Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck is razor-thin and ultra-stable, perfect for fast runs, technical riffs, and smooth bends. The maple fretboard offers a bright, snappy attack, paired with jumbo frets for effortless playability across all registers.
Loaded with Ibanez V7 (neck), S1 (middle), and V8 (bridge) pickups in a classic H-S-H configuration, the RG550 covers everything from articulate cleans to crushing distortion. Add the legendary Edge tremolo for divebombs and pitch shifts without sacrificing tuning stability, and you’ve got a stage-ready, studio-approved instrument that begs to be played loud.
