Ibanez Genesis Collection RG550 Electric Guitar

Ibanez Genesis Collection RG550 Electric Guitar

The Ibanez Genesis Collection is a throwback to the original RG series that debuted in 1987, providing a platform designed for rock guitarists of all types! Just like the originals, the RG550 features the ultra thin Super Wizard neck— constructed of five solid pieces of Maple and Walnut for absolute rock solid stability to provide extra-smooth playing. With the classic Edge tremolo bridge, the most extreme sonic acrobatics can be fearlessly performed with confidence that the guitar will effortlessly return to perfect tuning. The original Ibanez V7, S1, V8 pickups offer a wide range of sound and attack when combined with the 5-way pickup switch. Additionally, incredible tuning stability is achieved through the use of the Gotoh machine heads. 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 innovative specs, the RG made a big impact and is still evolving today. The Ibanez Genesis Collection brings back vibe of the good old days with precise construction by Japanese craftsmanship, to prove that this iconic guitar has always led the rock guitar scene.

Always AWESOME!

banez has never disappointed me. I’ve played their guitars for more than 35 years. Their frets are level and filed nicely. The boards are always level. The trems stay in tune…and I use mine a lot! This guitar is no exception. Japanese Ibanez guitars are a best value in this series! Bought and exchanged a Kramer 3 times last year and gave up. My Road Flare Red RG550 is exceptional, by comparison. I only needed to lower the action to suit me…away I go! Perfect, for what I play! Well done! Thanks, Ibanez! Thanks, AMS!

Another Great Ibanez. Thanks AMS!

In all my 40 years of playing, Ibanez never disappointed me. Never one manufacturing defect; never a fault in their instruments. This one is no exception. It was perfect. I lowered the strings and went straight to it! The frets are cleanly installed. The board is clean, super-thin and void free. There are no flaws in my instrument. Appreciate ya, AMS! Good stuff!

Found new inspiration with this

Found new inspiration with this axe! The neck is almost effortless to play, the maple fretboard is fast and sleek and it has helped with my arthritis tremendously!

Prestige quality at a great price!

Had an original RG550 back in the day and always wanted to get another one. Seems like all the ones i ran across were either worn-out out or heavily modified. So i figured I'd try the Genesis reissue. Can't really say anything bad about this guitar. Played great right out of the box and sounds fantastic. If you've ever wanted that late 80's Ibanez vibe, this is definately the one.

A screamer from the past

Having owned an original one of the from the 80’s, and owning a 20th anniversary as well, I had to try one of the Genesis Series. It does not disappoint! Ibanez nailed this guitar. It feels and rips just like an original plucked from a time machine, only with a couple upgrades. The heel joint is an added bonus for the new model. I’m so glad I was able to get my hands on one these monsters….pretty sure I’m going to Re-up and snag another one.
