    NGD Rg550 Genesis Ruby Red

    So lately I've been diving back into metal after a hiatus in favor of other musical pursuits. I never really taken theory seriously in the past and I've been working to learn more so I figured what better way to motivate myself than a new guitar. I was in GC for a used km7 that they had...

    PAF Master or Tone Zone in RG?

    Hello all, I am wondering if I should change the v7 and v8 out of my recently acquired RG550. I am currently using it as more of a rock guitar with my AX8 and with higher gain patches it also sounds really good. I am getting great tones combining it with a JMP1 patch for Scorpions and Mr Big...

    I almost missed this Ibanez RG3250 FOR. But pics first :) In fact I asked a different seller for another guitar initially. The color on that is somewhat similar to this, but I never saw it in person so I actually can't tell.... As I was waiting for that guitar to arrive, being very...

    NGD 4 of 6, old school RG goodness

    What else needs to be said; it's a block heel, black RG550 with maple board. I do love me some maple boards. Another solid workhorse that'll probably be strung up for standard E for noodling round. It has some body wear but the neck is dead clean and feels excellent. All in all, not bad for a 91...

    Hi guys! I'm a big Ibanez fan and one of my favorite models is the classic RG550. I've recently been contemplating the idea of grabbing one cheap-ish off ebay and doing dome work on it :) Nothing too extreme, probably a simple matter of a refinish (light blue?), a cool scratch plate (mmmm...
