If you'd recall not too long ago (September, in fact), Ibanez released the Genesis models which are essentially reissues of the '80s RG models, complete with the old school block neck-body heel & the beloved Edge bridge (OK, just click this to refresh your memory: CLICK). Those were Japan-only models but this October, the manufacturer announced the availability of the RG570/ 550 reissues to the region (sorry they won't make it to the USA. Yet). Oddly, Ibanez didn't label it as a Genesis offering, instead it's described as a Prestige re-issue but it still sports the same blocky heel joint & Edge bridge. By virtue of this implication, these guitars should be the Japan-only Genesis models but whatever they are, they are making a timely comeback but these won't be here soon, perhaps early 2014. I'd say it'll be the worthy wait.

RGxxx with RGxxxx price bracket
and worthy it is!
we take the cue from the Genesis RG550 which is SGD1,068 before shipment. since this RG550 is highly likely the same guitar from the Genesis series, the price would be comparable :-) that's good news (for me).
