Ibanez Genesis Collection RG550 – Road Flare Red

Pull straight from the golden age of shred, the Ibanez RG550 Genesis Collection is a stunning, high-octane celebration of the original 1987 milestone instrument. Meticulously built in Japan with elite Japanese craftsmanship, this reissue channels all the aggressive attitude and paradigm-shifting performance of the late '80s while infusing modern structural reliability. Wrapped in the neon brilliance of an unmistakable Road Flare Red finish, this guitar is a certified speed machine built for players who demand extreme precision and uncompromised playability.

Key Features & High-Speed Performance:

  • Lightweight Basswood Body: Ergonomically sculpted with deep contours, a front arm bevel, and a deep tummy cut, the basswood body provides maximum comfort during marathon sessions. Known for its exceptional midrange punch and balanced resonance, it ensures every technical lead line cuts through a heavy mix with definition.
  • Lightning-Fast Super Wizard Neck: Built for rapid-fire technical execution, the ultra-slim 5-piece Maple/Walnut laminate neck measures a mere 17mm thick at the first fret. This rock-solid multi-ply design completely eliminates warping, while the ultra-flat 430mm (16.9") radius provides a smooth, frictionless plane for sweeping and lightning-fast runs.
  • Bright Maple Fretboard & Jumbo Frets: Outfitted with 24 massive jumbo frets paired with a snappy maple fingerboard, this setup yields crisp, bright highs, enhanced upper-midrange attack, and effortless string bending.
  • Versatile HSH Pickup Configuration: Armed with passive, high-output Ibanez V7 (neck humbucker), S1 (middle single-coil), and V8 (bridge humbucker) pickups, the RG550 delivers a massive sonic spectrum. Route through the 5-way pickup selector to jump seamlessly from clean, sparkling split-coil shimmers to molten high-gain leads and heavy, percussive riffs.
  • Legendary Edge Tremolo System: Perform severe dive-bombs and radical pitch acrobatics with absolute confidence. The masterpiece locking Edge tremolo bridge offers industry-leading tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment, and low-profile playing comfort.
  • Gotoh Precision Tuners & Black Hardware: Top-tier Japanese-made Gotoh tuning machines pair with sleek black hardware to add to the instrument's aggressive, spartan aesthetic and rock-solid reliability.
