Styled in a purple neon finish, the Ibanez RG Genesis Collection RG550 is an electric guitar with a double-cutaway basswood body and a Super Wizard five-piece maple/walnut neck. This neck, outfitted with a 25.5" scale, sports a maple fingerboard with black dot inlays, as well as 24 jumbo frets for all your shrieking, shredding needs.
For electronics, the guitar is outfitted with a V7 humbucking pickup in the neck and a V8 humbucker in the bridge. However, sandwiched in between these pickups is a lone single-coil, adding a more pointed, searing edge to your tonal configurations. A volume knob and a tone knob are on hand to help you shape your sound, while the 5-way pickup selector allows you to access humbucking and single-coil tones. If you like to dive-bomb and whammy your way into the ears of your listeners, then you're in luck as the Japanese-made RG550 sports an Edge Tremolo bridge.
