The RG550 Genesis is a reissue of the original 1987 RG550 model, made in Japan. Over the years, price-increasing features that became standard in RG models, such as the case and DiMarzio pickups, have been removed, leaving only the most essential parts. The Genesis differs from the Prestige models only in terms of pickups and neck joint. The quality is exactly the same.
The RG550 is an incredible find in its price range. The thin Super Wizard neck, the tuning-stable EDGE bridge, and RG’s unbeatable ergonomics have made it a legend in its genre. The combination of the Floyd Rose bridge, alder body, bolt-on maple neck, and humbucker-single-humbucker pickup setup creates RG’s unique sound, positioning it somewhere between the tonal extremes of a Stratocaster and a Les Paul.
