Ibanez RG550-BK E-Gitarre Black

The original mother of all REAL all-round guitars. Except for the V7/V8 pickup assembly (very first models had V1/V2) and the now 5-piece Wizzard III neck (87 original also very thin, but just a touch more) identical to the legend that came on the market in 1987. Plays absolutely the same (I also have an 87 at home), sounds equal and the original edge tremolo works as sensational as it did back then. With no other trem can you "buzz" as beautifully as with the 1 Edge :-) Other deviations are insignificant (e.g. saddle mounting only from "above" and no longer "through" the neck).

Soundwise still much closer in the 2/4 positions to a real single coil strat sound like my PRS models or other split pickups. String action stamp de luxe as usual, jumbo frets perfectly dressed. The speed solos almost roll over, upwards there are no limits - but as I said, also the Rock'n'Roll Blues fraction will be happy with the RG550. However, perhaps not guitarists who prefer baseball bat-thick necks, that would possibly be the only.

An absolutely high quality (J.CRAFT Japan) Ibanez at a very fair price. And will last a very long time, if you treat it reasonably well - the workhorse, as you are used to for 30 years :-) And finally I have it in desert yellow, which has already lured me back then (but ultimately became "only" white).

Delivery from Kirstein very fast and reliable, thank you!
