Up for sale, a 1990 Ibanez RG550 in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This Ibanez was crafted at the Fujigen factory in Japan, featuring an HSH pickup complement, Edge tremolo, and gloss Metallic Purple finish with matching headstock.
The tonewood complement comprises a basswood body, maple neck, and 24-fret maple fretboard, and this RG550 weighs 8lbs 1oz. The versatile HSH pickup complement yields a wide array of tones; the V1 humbucker in the neck position has a traditional PAF-style tonal palette, slightly overwound for beefier mids and punchy lows; the V2 humbucker at the bridge is powerful and bold, with smooth, singing trebles; the S1 single coil in the middle delivers sparkle and snap, working in tandem with the humbuckers on the five-way pickup selector switch. This RG550 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss Metallic Purple finish is rich and vibrant, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few small chips along the perimeter, scuffing along the pick path (mostly on the guard), and just a few dings and finish scratches on the body as a whole, primarily concentrated along the lower bout. There are a few very shallow, short splits adjacent to the bolts for the locking nut on the neck carve, professionally repaired and smooth, and there are couple additional minor marks along the profile length.
The original padded gigbag is included.
