The RG550L is a left-handed RG series solid body electric guitar model reissued by Ibanez in late 2017. This model is a reissue as part of the Genesis Collection of the original RG550L, which was produced between 1988 and 1992.
Similarities to the classic RG550L include a basswood body, a tilt neck joint with a stamped metal plate, a maple fingerboard with dot position markers and an original Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut. Differences include a five-piece laminated maple and walnut neck (the original neck was one-piece maple) and the pickups which are a pair of Ibanez V7/V8 humbuckers flanking an S1 single-coil (the original had Ibanez V1/V2 humbuckers).
