I chanced upon an ad, someone selling off his Ibanez RG550, which is a pre-Prestige model...
... it was allegedly given the current Prestige treatment, just that it wasn't called 'Prestige' back then- was that the case? Of course
not. The Prestige tag was there following the departure of John Petrucci, the manufacturer liked the idea of the (6) extra treatment procedures for the higher end guitar necks, hence the Prestige tag was born. I am in no way trying to ridicule the pre-Prestige units, in my opinion, they are splendid guitars for the money, regret not acquiring more before they became extinct... Every time I pick up my RG560, I'm reminded of this. Dang.
