Presentation
The Ibanez RG550-DY is an iconic electric guitar that embodies the bold spirit of the '80s with its vibrant design and sonic versatility. Featuring a basswood body, this guitar delivers a balanced and dynamic tone that's perfectly suited to demanding musical styles. The "Desert Yellow" finish enhances its retro look, commanding attention on stage and offering a decidedly rock aesthetic.
Its Super Wizard neck is crafted from five pieces of maple and walnut, ensuring increased stability and a fluid playing feel. This thin and fast configuration, characteristic of the RG models, facilitates the execution of solos and advanced techniques, while the maple fingerboard adds clarity to the highs and strengthens the mids, providing beautiful sonic definition.
The 24 jumbo frets allow great freedom of expression, giving guitarists full access to the highest notes.
In terms of tone, the RG550-DY is equipped with a trio of pickups: the V7 in the neck position, the S1 in the middle, and the V8 in the bridge position. This combination of passive pickups offers a wide range of sounds, from crystal clear cleans to powerful distortions.
The V7 pickup provides deep bass and good articulation, while the V8 delivers intense mids and sharp highs, perfect for solos. The S1 pickup, meanwhile, allows you to switch to single-coil mode for lighter sounds, ideal for clear and defined rhythms.
The Edge bridge, a true reference in the field of vibratos, guarantees remarkable tuning stability while allowing precise and fluid pitch variations. Combined with the locking nut, this system maintains tuning even during intensive passages on the vibrato.
Black hardware and Gotoh tuners ensure stable tuning and fine adjustment, perfect for demanding performances.
The Ibanez RG550-DY is for guitarists who want an instrument that offers both a striking look and a wide variety of tones. It embodies precision and reliability, whether for the stage or the studio, with playability designed for advanced techniques and a unique style that recalls the golden age of electric rock.
