Ibanez RG 550 Road Flare

Ibanez RG 550 Road Flare Red

The RG model is already a legend in the rock and metal scene. A guitar clearly associated with musicians who love fast and breakneck solos and sulphurous riffs. The lime body makes the sound even and perfect and the instrument works well with strong overdrives with a modern character. Ultra fast Super Wizard neck for many is one of the most comfortable in the world. The universal layout of the pickups allows a wide range of sounds with different character. As befits Ibanez, the instrument is made precisely and with attention to every detail.

The Genesis series is a faithful reflection of the legendary models from the late 80s and early 90s. The RG 550 is considered to be the archetype of the super-strata and this reissue confirms this opinion. Genesis models are manufactured in Japan as are the instruments in the Prestige series. The RG 550 is a professional instrument for demanding musicians moving in a wide range of musical genres.
