Drenched in a vintage-correct Desert Sun Yellow finish, this reissue captures the speed, tone, and attitude of the original 1987 RG550 with modern precision. Outfitted with a razor-thin Super Wizard neck, HSH pickup layout, and the legendary Edge tremolo system, the RG550 is built for aggressive lead work, tight rhythm playing, and expressive tonal variety—all in a lightweight, road-ready package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"634\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"634\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"713\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"654\"\u003eIncluded Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"713\"\u003eShips with a premium gig bag for protective portability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"824\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"744\"\u003eDesert Sun Yellow Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"824\"\u003eA vibrant blast from the past that screams ‘80s shred style with modern edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"959\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"848\"\u003eSuper Wizard Neck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"959\"\u003eUltra-fast 5-piece maple\/walnut neck with a slim profile for high-speed fretwork and effortless transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"979\"\u003eBasswood Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003eDelivers a rich, midrange-forward tone ideal for both articulate cleans and high-gain punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1107\"\u003eVersatile HSH Pickup Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1332\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1193\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1193\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1132\"\u003eV7 Neck Humbucker:\u003c\/em\u003e Focused low-end and crisp attack for tight rhythm playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1255\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1255\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1220\"\u003eS1 Middle Single-Coil:\u003c\/em\u003e Adds vintage sparkle and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1332\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1332\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003eV8 Bridge Humbucker:\u003c\/em\u003e Harmonically rich and ideal for soaring lead tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1359\"\u003eEdge Locking Tremolo:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003eIbanez’s iconic double-locking system offers excellent tuning stability and expressive whammy action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1497\"\u003ePerformance-Driven Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eJumbo frets, a contoured neck heel, and a sleek black hardware package round out the playability and aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1891\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1640\"\u003eWhy the RG550 Genesis?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1891\"\u003eIt’s a no-compromise instrument for guitarists who demand classic style and modern performance.
