Only red and blue.Originally Posted by sam_m
Why wasn't I told?!!?
Did they do the gorgeous lilac one, though? That'd the only one I'd actually want for my own.

Don't you mean the RG550?

Nope, that's a RG770DX.
They did also re-issue the RG500 though - they're different models.

Ouch.... yellow pickups!

This thread contains the only two nice blue guitars every posted on this forum. Ever.
I think that new version looks fantastic.

Ugliest designs ever.
What kind of warped mind would even entertain designing such a thing, let alone owning and playing one?
Sick.

The RG, like or loathe it, is a classic design. From a player's viewpoint it does pretty much everything it is needed to. The thin necks are very fast and flat and only the pickups let them down.

Plenty of bargains to be had.
All the ones I have played have been pretty damned good guitars. Feel wise they are great workaday guitars that do everything. However, they are fucking ugly aesthetically meaning that they suit only a specific kind of music and look wrong used in other circumstances in which they actually play and sound perfectly well.
That headstock is especially nasty, especially as Ibanez had such a good headstock design immediately prior to it (on the Roadstars and such).
But the main point: those colours? No. Unforgiveable.

Time to start growing a mullet then.
Actually, most rock guitarists I know still have the same mullet from last time.

On the colours I agree, especially the horrid multicoloured pickup reels. I had a black RG550 for 17 years (from 17 to 34) and it was a really good instrumen once I put EMGs in it. It got gigged, travled many places and never let me down. I know have a 7 string RG which has been painted in a blue/purple burst by Neil Morgan and it is also very good (except the hideous EVO pickups).
