Ibanez 2018 (2): Genesis return

Ah... so the resurrected Ibanez RG550s for 2018 are none other than the Genesis line. The differences here, which is really splitting hairs, is the guitar's neck construction. The first wave of RG550 back in the '80s feature a seamless construction but the later necks manifested the laminate lines running from one end to the other. These are very thin lines, if you ever encountered the Genesis version in person. 

Here's a reference from my past entry (2013 to be precise 😙). The other differences worth noting are that back plate cover with access holes to the spring tension screws & the Edge bridge without the licensed stamp on it.

Ibanez decided to include the RG570 for good measure. 👍

The really awesome consideration here is price- thank you, Ibanez, for keeping the prices true to the original Genesis listings when they first debuted. However, do bear in mind the current exchange rates so expect a slight difference. I will not quote an estimated listing which might upset both buyers & sellers. On that note, do keep in mind that the Genesis are Prestige models but offered without a hard case/ bag. Definitely on my list this year.
