[JonWormwood]

[Virgil.]

[PhilTheBeard]

I have one of the 20th RG550s (#56!) in yellow like above, but w/ aftermarket pickups. If you are GASing for one of these, I can't encourage you to act fast enough. Butter. An audio katana like the real ESP lines. This is how a guitar should feel.

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

do want!

 

[Mago]

someone please slap some sense into me!

you allready have a lot of awesome guitars, so maybe your gassing is sick of getting beautiful guitars and wants something new?
if you want some ugly stuff that feels like a toy rather then a guitar, then go for it
only my opinion of course...I bought an RG once and HATED it, even if I thought it was great at the beginning...also doesnt look good to me

 

[amarshism]

Buy buy buy buy buy!!!

 

[Rogueleader]

Every time I watch Arsis videos i get GAS for one too , but I know my Jacksons sound better so I resist.

Sell me your Ontario 1 Hum white Dinky lasse (that is the one you put the BKP in, right?), I fucking love that guitar.

 

[Brachabre]

@sys_fail_you: Which pickups did you decide to replace stocks with?

It's a very nice 80s guitar, I'd also like to mention the stunning Charvel So Cal 1-2H as a viable alternative. Actually, just get both.

 

[K Odell]

SOCAL FTW! But yeah I actually want another 550 too.

 

[Strachan of D]

the rg550 is a classic 80 guitar man . i found an original one for 250 a few years ago it was lefty , white , maple fetboard , it had a crack near the neck joint dont know if it was just a finish crack or a proper one
