NGD Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary

[Djentlyman]

Hello All,

For quite some time now I've wanted a slick shredder. So here is a mint Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary with some mods. The plan was to get an original 550 but unfortunately I could't find the right one that was either in decent condition or didn't have a ridiculous price tag. Further GAS was added when my drummer's mate showed me his original 560. Then on SS.org along came this beauty and I knew I had to have it. A big thank-you to SS.org user satchfrk!!

Time for pics

Phew....made it in one piece

New scratchplate and a Dimarzio Liquifire/Crunchlab set

Dat neck joint

Behind the fancy back plate a Tremol-No has been installed.

The yellow is much more fluorescent in person.

Mod wise this guitar is complete. It's got a Tremol-No and the Dimarzio LF/CL combo which I have in two other guitars. You can't really ask for much more.

Iv'e only had this guitar for 2 days now but so far it hasn't let me down.

Time to play

Pretty sure they were all HSH, so the middle pup was pulled and a custom guard installed. Which is something that I should do with my rg2550

Love those 80s colors!

I've been dying to get my hands on a 3XXV, this thing just reignited my GAS. Happy NGD!
Btw, I did not know the HSCs matched the guitars. Hot.

Great score and an amazing guitar. I never tire of looking
at RG550 DY models.

All of those bright finishes are pretty sweet, nice score.
