Ibanez RG550DX Genesis Collection Electric Guitar Laser Blue

I BOUGHT THE GUITAR FOR NOSTALGIA REASONS. I REMEMBER BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL ALWAYS WANTED ONE BUT COULDN'T AFFORD ONE.

Bought this guitar thinking it was going to be just like my older ibanez. I was very wrong. I would recommend anyone who plays to at least compare this to a jackson dinky. Ibanez has really built a guitar that outshines all the rest.

I bought and (regrettably) sold my original RG550 from the 80's. So when I ended up needing a full floating bridge, I started looking at this model first. I hate buying guitars sight unseen. Fortunately my local Guitar Center in Fountain Valley had both colors. I tried them both and the build quality, setup and playability was identical and nearly perfect. So I picked the blue one. I have to say I've played and owned many Ibanez guitars over the years and I've never found a bad one. And this is no exception. Keep in mind this is a full floating bridge. So things like string guage changes and intonation adjustments require a bit more effort. But the neck is smooth and flat, it has lot's of tone selection with the 3 pickups. It is designed to give you the most flexibility for speed and whatever guitar tricks are out there. I highly recommend this for today's shredders and anything 80's rock.

Great guitar except I changed the Ibanez pickups in the guitar to the dimazio crunchlab pickup on the bridge,dimrzio liquidfer on the neck and put seymore Duncan hot rails in the middle.
