Ibanez RG550-BKF Genesis Black Flat

Ibanez Genesis RG550-BKF For Precise High-Performance Playing!

The Ibanez Genesis RG550-BKF pairs Japanese build quality with the RG series' uncompromising performance focus. With a fast Super Wizard neck, HSH pickup configuration and Edge tremolo, this electric guitar is aimed at players who demand direct feel, clear response and maximum control.

RG Design With Japanese Precision

The RG is one of the most influential electric guitar shapes in modern rock and metal. Its design prioritizes speed, stability and ergonomic handling. The basswood body delivers a balanced foundation with quick attack, defined punch and enough substance for powerful riffs, articulated leads and dynamic soloing. The bolt-on neck construction supports direct resonance and provides a familiar, immediate playing feel.

Super Wizard Neck For Fast Playing

The five-piece maple and walnut neck is built for stability and fast playability. The Super Wizard profile with a thin neck at the 1st and 12th frets offers a flat, modern feel that shines on speedy licks, wide stretches and precise alternate picking. The maple fretboard with a 16.9" (430 mm) radius and 24 jumbo frets supports a very direct translation of your technique. Bends, legato runs and chord work stay cleanly controllable, even when the music gets technically demanding.

HSH Sound For Flexible Rock And Metal Tones

The combination of a V7 neck humbucker, S1 single coil in the middle and V8 bridge humbucker delivers a wide tonal palette. The bridge pickup provides cutting tones with clear definition for heavy rhythm parts and singing leads. The neck pickup supplies warm, full colors for solos and melodic lines. The middle single coil adds transparent in-between positions, so you can access not only high-gain sounds but also clearer clean and crunch textures. With volume, tone and a 5-way switch, the controls remain straightforward and stage-ready.

Edge Tremolo And Reliable Hardware

The Edge tremolo is a central element of the RG concept, enabling expressive vibrato techniques, dive bombs and precise pitch modulation. The locking nut supports tuning stability even under intense tremolo use. Gotoh tuners, black hardware and the 10.8 mm string spacing round out the professional spec. The 25.5" scale provides tight string tension and clear articulation, especially for fast riffs and lower-gain setups.

For Stage, Studio And Ambitious Practice

This Genesis RG is an electric guitar for players who want classic Ibanez DNA with modern precision. Made in Japan and equipped with a fast neck, versatile pickup switching and a proven tremolo system, it's suitable for metal, rock, fusion and technically oriented styles. It responds directly to attack and dynamics, stays ergonomically comfortable and offers the control needed for detailed playing.
