Any Ibanez models are now available for order ⚡ The icon of shred guitars returns: Ibanez RG550 Electric Blue — the legendary superstrat is now in our store Our store now has one of the most iconic electric guitars in the history of rock music — the Ibanez RG550 in the vibrant Electric Blue (EB) color. This model is a true legend of the RG series, which since the late 80s has become the standard for high-speed guitars for rock and metal guitarists all over the world. The Ibanez RG series grew from the famous Ibanez JEM platform, created during the heyday of virtuoso guitar playing. It was then that instruments appeared which combined an incredibly fast neck, an aggressive body design, and versatile electronics. The Ibanez RG550 fully preserves this philosophy and is rightfully considered one of the brand's most iconic instruments. The guitar body is made of Basswood — a wood that has long proven itself in the world of electric guitars due to its balanced and musical sound. Basswood provides a tight and even low range, rich midrange, and soft dynamics. Thanks to this, the instrument is excellent for both powerful distorted riffs and clean, transparent parts. One of the main features of the Ibanez RG550 is the signature Super Wizard neck. It is made of a 5pc Maple/Walnut construction, which significantly increases the stability of the neck and improves the transfer of string vibrations. The Super Wizard profile is known for its ultra-thin and flat shape. The thickness of the neck is only 17 mm at the first fret and 19 mm at the twelfth, which makes it one of the fastest necks among modern electric guitars. Such a construction allows the guitarist to play as fast as possible, easily execute complex passages, legato, and fast solos. The fretboard is made of Maple. A maple fretboard forms a bright, clear sound with pronounced high frequencies and powerful upper-mid frequencies. Thanks to this, every note sounds clear and distinct. The fretboard is decorated with Black Dot Inlays, ensuring convenient navigation of the neck. The guitar is equipped with 24 Jumbo frets, which provides a full two-octave range. Such frets allow for performing smooth bends, precise vibrato, and maintain excellent articulation even at high playing speeds. The most important part of the construction is the legendary Ibanez Edge Tremolo Bridge. This bridge is considered one of the best tremolo mechanisms ever created for electric guitars. It provides exceptional tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment, and playing comfort even during active use of the tremolo arm. For additional tuning stability, a Locking Nut is used, which securely holds the strings during extreme tremolo effects. The guitar's electronics are represented by a versatile H-S-H configuration, which makes the instrument maximally flexible in terms of sound. In the neck position, a V7 (H) with a ceramic magnet is installed, in the middle position — an S1 (S) with an Alnico magnet, and in the bridge position, a V8 (H) with an Alnico magnet is installed. The V7 / S1 / V8 combination allows for obtaining a huge spectrum of timbres — from crystal-clear and transparent to aggressive, saturated, and powerful distorted sounds. Thanks to this, the Ibanez RG550 is excellent for rock, hard rock, metal, fusion, and virtuoso instrumental music. The guitar comes with D’Addario® EXL120 strings, gauge .009 – .042, and has a standard factory tuning of E-A-D-G-B-E, making the instrument completely ready to play. High-quality Gotoh® machine heads are responsible for precise and stable tuning, known for their reliability, smooth operation, and high accuracy. The bright glossy Electric Blue finish makes the instrument incredibly effective on stage. This saturated electric blue color has become one of the most recognizable design options for the legendary RG series. Ibanez RG550 Electric Blue — this is not just an electric guitar. It is an instrument that embodies the era of shred guitars, combining legendary speed, outstanding ergonomics, and a powerful, versatile sound. ⚙️ Specifications 🎸 Model: Ibanez RG550 🎨 Color: Electric Blue (EB) 🪵 Neck Neck type: Super Wizard Material: 5pc Maple/Walnut 🪵 Body Body material: Basswood 🎼 Fretboard Material: Maple Inlay: Black Dot Inlay 🔩 Frets Type: Jumbo Number of frets: 24 🎸 Bridge Model: Edge Tremolo Bridge String spacing: 10.8 mm 🔊 Pickups Neck: V7 (H), passive, ceramic magnet Middle: S1 (S), passive, Alnico magnet Bridge: V8 (H), passive, Alnico magnet 🎛 Factory tuning 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E 🎵 Strings D’Addario® EXL120 Gauge: .009 / .011 / .016 / .024 / .032 / .042 🔧 Nut Locking Nut ⚙️ Hardware Hardware color: Black 📏 Neck dimensions Scale: 648 mm / 25.5" Width at nut: 43 mm Width at 24th fret: 58 mm Thickness at 1st fret: 17 mm Thickness at 12th fret: 19 mm Fretboard radius: 430 mm 🔧 Machine heads Gotoh® Machine Heads 🎒 Recommended accessories Case: Ibanez MR500C Gig bag: Ibanez IGB724-BK Review of Ibanez Genesis RG550 Electric Blue 📍 All guitars with the "in Ukraine" filter are located at my shop in Dnipro, Ukraine.
