Ibanez RG550 Genesis

About this guitar The Ibanez RG550 Genesis is a solid body instrument that delivers a high-output, versatile tone built for speed and precision. With its 25.5" scale length, basswood body and maple/walnut neck paired with a maple fretboard, it offers a comfortable feel and confident sustain. 24 frets provide ample range for expressive playing and the HSH pickup configuration allows a wide palette of tones. Fit and compatibility As a modern Ibanez model, the RG550 Genesis uses standard hardware and routing. The pickup cavities are routed for HSH pickups, so aftermarket replacements from major brands drop in with little or no modification. The Edge Tremolo follows factory specifications, making it easy to upgrade or replace. Its neck pocket and electronics layout are compatible with popular aftermarket necks, pickguards and control harnesses. Installation notes This guitar uses standard screws and fittings for its region (metric sizing). When upgrading parts, verify hole diameters and screw spacing, especially for the Edge Tremolo and tuning machines. Pickup swaps may require minor soldering but no routing. Professional setup after modifications is recommended to maintain intonation and playability.
