Ibanez RG550 PN Purple Neon Electric Guitar – Made in Japan

The Ibanez RG550 PN in bold Purple Neon brings back the unmistakable late-’80s shred aesthetic with authentic Japanese craftsmanship. Part of the celebrated Genesis-style lineup, the RG550 continues the legacy of high-performance design, ultra-fast playability, and aggressive tone that made the RG series legendary.

Built for speed, precision, and stage impact, this Made-in-Japan RG550 delivers classic styling with modern reliability—perfect for technical players, hard rock, and high-gain performance.

Super Wizard 5-Piece Neck

The ultra-thin Super Wizard 5pc Maple/Walnut neck is engineered for maximum speed and stability. Measuring just 17mm thick at the 1st fret, it offers effortless playability while the five-piece construction ensures rock-solid durability. The maple fretboard with jumbo frets and black dot inlays provides snap, clarity, and smooth bending response.

Basswood Body & Edge Tremolo Performance

The basswood body delivers balanced tone with strong mids and smooth highs—ideal for cutting through dense mixes. The legendary Edge tremolo bridge allows for extreme dive bombs and expressive vibrato while returning accurately to pitch. A locking nut and black hardware complete the rock-solid tuning system.

V7 / S1 / V8 Pickup Configuration

Equipped with original-spec V7 (neck), S1 (middle), and V8 (bridge) pickups, the RG550 offers a versatile tonal range. From articulate cleans to tight, aggressive high-gain tones, the 5-way pickup selector provides flexible combinations for rhythm and lead playing.
