Ibanez RG550 Genesis Collection - Road Flare Red with Maple Fingerboard

The Ibanez RG550 Genesis Collection brings the spirit of late-‘80s shred back to life. Made in Japan and packed with the same high-speed feel and sharp looks that defined an era, this guitar is built for players who crave precision, tone, and playability.

From its lightning-fast Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck to its iconic Edge tremolo bridge, the RG550 Genesis delivers the effortless feel and stability that Ibanez fans love. The V7/S1/V8 pickup set gives you everything from articulate cleans to molten distortion with classic RG clarity.
