About this listing
** IBANEZ RG550 PN Purple Neon **Brand NEW (New Strings & Full Setup by our Guitar Tech) Note: minor factory mark on the neck pocket (see last picture).Original cardbox and accessories included.The Ibanez RG550 PN from the Genesis Collection Series is far more than just a tribute to the golden age of 80s hard rock guitars — it’s a true reissue with character, staying true to the original spirit while benefiting from modern Japanese craftsmanship. Carefully built in Fujigen, like the Prestige series guitars, it embodies the precision, performance, and attitude sought by demanding guitarists — whether they're fans of shred, metal, or high-performance guitars.At first glance, the Purple Neon finish delivers a bold, almost provocative visual identity. This is a guitar that doesn’t try to go unnoticed — and that’s exactly what makes it so charming. It harkens back to the glory days of glam, heavy metal, and virtuosic rock, while fully meeting today’s playing standards.The Wizard neck, true to Ibanez’s reputation, is impressively thin and fast. Its ultra-flat profile offers remarkable playability, especially for fast solos, precise bends, and complex runs all along the fretboard. The satin finish on the back provides a smooth, non-sticky feel — even during extended sessions.In terms of sound, the HSH configuration with V7, S1, and V8 pickups offers great versatility. The humbuckers are powerful and sharp, perfect for cutting rhythm tones or singing leads, while the middle single-coil adds clarity and openness in the in-between positions. You can effortlessly switch from metal to sparkling funk or classic rock. All of this is supported by the legendary original Edge tremolo, which is stable and highly expressive — ideal for extreme effects without compromising tuning.What stands out most is the sense of control this guitar provides the moment you pick it up. Everything feels designed for fast, precise playing with minimal effort. It’s a guitar that pushes you to reach your technical limits, yet remains surprisingly comfortable and smooth for more melodic or laid-back playing styles.In short, the RG550 PN is a must-have model for any guitarist passionate about the virtuosic rock/metal scene. It combines bold looks, legendary heritage, and premium craftsmanship — all with outstanding playability. It’s a guitar with bite, character, and a true homage to its roots without ever feeling outdated. A real success from Ibanez.Specifications:Genesis Collection SeriesMIJ – Made In JapanSerial: F2519841Weight: 3.600 kgSolid body electric guitar – RG shapeBody: BasswoodNeck: 5-piece Maple/WalnutFretboard: MapleNeck profile: Super WizardNut width: 43 mmScale length: 648 mm24 Jumbo fretsPrestige fret edge treatmentPickups:1 Ibanez V7 humbucker (neck)1 Ibanez S1 single-coil (middle)1 Ibanez V8 humbucker (bridge) Black hardware Edge tremolo system
