This RG550 is in nearly new condition and has been refretted with jumbo stainless steel frets (Jescar 57110S).
There are no dings, paint chips or scratches and it still has the original protection film over all of the plastic pieces. The only cosmetic flaw is a small clear coat crack on the bass side of the neck pocket which it came with brand new. Its not a structural issue, nearly every RG550 has this or will get it in the future, its just the result of having a very tight neck pocket (a good thing) and thin wood at the joint. Aside from that though, its essentially mint.
The refret was a professional job with zero sharp fret ends, no high frets, a mirror polish that will last forever, and frets that will more than likely outlive whoever buys it (perks of stainless steel).
My only reason for selling is because I have an original RG550 in the same color and don't need two. Its a flawless player and doesn't need any tech attention at all. It's currently setup in E standard on 9-42s with super low action but that can be adjusted prior to shipping if desired. Could you buy a brand new one for a little bit more? Sure, but you won't get one as good as this one for any less. This will come with a brand new unopened Ibanez trem arm as the one pictured is borrowed from another guitar. I can include the original Ibanez box if desired, email, chat or text with any questions
