Jeff R Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 1990 Ibanez RG550 in "desert sun yellow" in good condition. Maple fingerboard, original Wizard neck profile. Original Ibanez Edge FR-license tremolo and all stock electronics. The only upgrade is installation of a Tremol-No in the trem cavity for instant hardtail or drop "D" tuning without tools ($50 part). The Tremol-No made no permanent mods/extra screw holes to the body and can be removed easily. Excellent structural condition and good cosmetic condition. This guitar was played - there are assorted dings and dents and some finish missing on a few edges, and some wear/staining on the maple fingerboard and neck (common for RGs of this era). Think of it as naturally relic'ed without intentional abuse. Frets are in good shape and action is nice and low. The truss rod cover and trem cavity cover are missing (also common). I don't have the original case but it will ship in a functional non-form-fitting double-stitched rectangular hardshell. Ibanez did a limited 20th Anniversary reissue run of this exact guitar earlier this year (the RG550MXX) that is no longer available. The reissue retailed for $1200. I will sell this original one for $550 shipped UPS Ground and insured within the continental U.S. only. I prefer PayPal. I have 100 percent positive feedback on eBay and too many positive references from deals with fellow HFC'ers to count.

cmatthes Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Dayum! Although that sold for exactly $435 more than mine cost me in the '90s , I'm glad I didn't see that offer earlier! Crazy deal, Jeff.
serial Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Dayum! Although that sold for exactly $435 more than mine cost me in the '90s , I'm glad I didn't see that offer earlier! Crazy deal, Jeff. Aaah, the grand prize for the 1991 (or was it 1992?) Worst Guitarist at the Beach contest for "the Oscar Mayer Bologna Blues"!
cloakerz Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I bought that exact guitar about 3 months ago in a pawn shop. Best score I ever made. They didn't know what they had so I got a killer deal but will not mention the price here.
silentman Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Thank god somebody got this one. I was weak and nearly pulled the trigger. This would be a fun one.
Taylor Player Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Thank god somebody got this one. I was weak and nearly pulled the trigger. This would be a fun one.Ha...it's going right next to your 'ol purple Wolfie!
silentman Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 If you get buyers remorse, let me know.
