Some friends were asking if the re-introduced/re-issue Ibanez RG550/570 are Prestige models since it's not indicated at the headstock. I believe the above screen grab would help. There is no 'Prestige' at the headstock because that's how they were back then. I don't believe such qualitative labeling actually puts the product in good stead automatically; it's the actual QC & personal experience that would qualify a product to be up there with the best, not self-proclamations by the manufacturer.

Actually, if its a 550 reproduction, the prestige branding wouldn't even matter.
In addition to its ranking, the 'Prestige' tag here also implies neck treatment, which were not given to the older RG550s...
Love the Prestige word done away.Its look nicer and more familiar without it.Anyway do they secretly still made the Short Stop thingy available?
no idea, sir... it's not showing up in any catalogues anywhere...
