Used 1990 Ibanez RG550 Vintage Electric Guitar

Description

The 1990 Ibanez RG550 is a highly regarded vintage Japanese-made electric guitar from the golden era of the RG series. Originally developed as a serious performance instrument for technically demanding players, the RG550 became one of Ibanez's defining models thanks to its fast neck, versatile HSH pickup configuration, double-locking tremolo system, and unmistakable late-'80s/early-'90s styling.

Built in Japan, this 1990 example comes from an era of Ibanez production that has developed a strong following among players and collectors. The RG550's thin, fast-playing Wizard-style neck and deep cutaways provide excellent access across the fingerboard, making it particularly well suited for technical lead playing, wide stretches, fast rhythm work, and expressive solos.

The classic HSH pickup configuration gives the RG550 a wide tonal range. The humbuckers provide the power and output needed for rock and metal, while the middle single-coil and pickup combinations offer cleaner, brighter sounds for funk, fusion, pop, and intricate rhythm work. Its double-locking tremolo system allows for dramatic pitch effects while providing the tuning stability expected from a performance-oriented RG.

For players seeking an original-era Japanese RG rather than a modern recreation, this vintage 1990 RG550 offers classic Ibanez performance, period-correct attitude, and strong collector appeal.
