High-Grade Body Construction

It's finished in a vibrant Electric Blue, which shines and makes you stand out on stage or in the studio.

Dynamic Pickup Setup

The RG550 has a dynamic trio of pickups: the V7 at the neck, the S1 in the middle, and the V8 at the bridge. This combination offers an adaptable and very versatile tonal range that suits everything from smooth, expressive cleans to powerful, high-gain distortion.

This carefully chosen pickup setup works harmoniously with the guitar's basswood body, enhancing its natural resonance and ensuring note definition across the board. Whether playing rock, metal, blues or beyond, the Ibanez RG550 delivers a clear, full-bodied sound tailored for any genre.

Fast-Playing Wizard Neck
