Ibanez RG550 PN Purple Neon Electric Guitar

Ibanez RG550 PN Purple Neon Electric Guitar

The RG550 PN delivers the ultra-fast playability that defined the shred era, with a neck measuring just 17mm at the first fret for effortless speed and precision. This Made-in-Japan instrument combines the aggressive Purple Neon aesthetics of late-'80s design with authentic Japanese craftsmanship and rock-solid tuning stability. Built for technical players, hard rock, and high-gain performance, it remains a benchmark for fast, reliable electric guitar design.

Playability & Feel

The Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck is engineered for maximum speed and comfort, with neck thickness measuring 17mm at the 1st fret and 19mm at the 12th fret. The maple fretboard with 24 jumbo frets and black dot inlays provides snap and clarity, while the 430mm fretboard radius ensures smooth bending response across the entire neck.

Tone & Electronics

The basswood body delivers balanced tone with strong mids and smooth highs, ideal for cutting through dense mixes in high-gain settings. The guitar is equipped with original-spec V7 neck humbucker, S1 middle single-coil, and V8 bridge humbucker pickups, offering versatile tonal combinations through the 5-way selector—from articulate cleans to tight, aggressive distortion.
