Ibanez RG1550M Electric Guitar White Plaster

the rg1550m is an amazing guitar, i 'abused' the edge pro trem extensively and it held its tune 100%. the maple fretboard looks sleek and distinctive, and the wizard profile neck is fast and very comfortable. 4 fingered sus2 chords and the like were easy to fret and play, even on the lower frets. there were no dead spots on the guitar at all, setup was amazing from the case. i have the phantom blue, which is a really nice electric blue finish. the only complaint i have are the v7 and v8 pickups. they are just not good at all. however, the s1 single coil actually sounds decent. nevertheless, i swapped them out immediately for dimarzio paf pro's and an evolution(version 1) in the middle (all blue, of course). i can say beyond the shadow of a doubt that this guitar could very well be the flagship for the ibanez prestige guitar line. it is an excellent, amazing guitar!

I love this guitar. I put many days into finding the perfect guitar for me. I love shredding metal and soloing, stuff like Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, metallica, iron maiden. I equally love blues and clean stuff. I did some research and found this guitar, and you get a lot more than you pay for. The feel is out of this world, and you can hit a pinch harmonic 100% of the time. In fact, its nearly impossible not to. It stays in tune very well. When i took the guitar out of its case after being shipped to me, it was in tune and stayed in tune as well. since getting it 2 or 3 weeks ago i've only tuned it a couple times. To be honest, there is nothing i don't like about this guitar. Furthermore, not only is this guitar perfect for soloing and shredding, but its clean setting is beautiful. really it's good for all genres of music. Overall, it plays like a charm and I would definitely reccommend it. 5/5

bought this as my first guitar, wanting to start off with a good axe, and it hasn't failed me. i got the rg in neon finish and it is a great guitar. The neck is ultra thin and perfect for sweeping and fast licks. Get this guitar!

As much as I love playing shredding style metal, I also need a guitar that can tone it down and do blues and classic rock. This guitar does it all reasonably well, although string bending can cause other notes to detune due to the floating trem. I got the Poisoned Pumpkin and the finish was absolutely perfect. The set-up(as expected)was near perfect with minimal buzz. You can't get much better than a Japanese made Ibanez for the money. Very happy with my purchase.
