I've recently bought an RG550 off eBay in dire need of an overhaul. Took it to bits and cleaned it all up and it's wonderful.

i just bought a used 550 on ebay and it looks like it has been to hell and back and since there's no "RG series" on the head i guess it is very veeeery old but it still sounds great and now i think about doing a new paintjob and replace the floyd rose with a fixed bridge cause i already have a rg 470 with trem ... good idea?

BAD IDEA DO NOT REPLACE THE TREM. your 470 trem is junk compared to the EDGE that comes with the 550... instead learn how to use and set it up properly at www.ibanezrules.com

Centre single coil is stock.
This guitar is so versatile & rugged, stays in tune. I have a Gibson Les Paul & Flying V, but the RG.550 is still my main gig guitar

Aaron morris :
Whats the difference between the 550 and 505??

The five and the zero are switched.

Anyway, I've seen some of these around. I don't want to spend over 400 dollars, would it at all possible to get one?

It looks ridiculous but it is so uncool it is super cool.
