Overview

Genesis takes you back to the origins of an extraordinary instrument.

From it's birth in 1987, the Ibanez RG has stood as an icon in rock guitar history. Sporting pared down aesthetics, incredible playability and extreme versatility, it made, and continues to make, a major impact on players around the world. The Ibanez Genesis RG550DX continues that heritage by returning to the roots of the RG, with precise Japanese craftsmanship and outstanding use of guitar technology. From the ultra-thing, speedy Super Wizard neck to the Edge tremolo, it's capable of serious guitaristic acrobatics. Powerful, punchy and stable, this is a platform from which to proclaim your highest musical ambitions.
