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.
