12 year old ibanez rg 550 ex. this thing looks great...at least it does on those pics, not sure how that finish looks in real life. i've been gas-ing for another superstrat anyways, and i just can't find *THAT* model 6 i'm looking for...those things are getting so rare it's not even funny, and a 550 rg is my second choice....

whaddaya think? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] i'm still a bit hesitating, as i'm gonna need the $$ for another amp, i'm sure...but i also need a great playing guitar for shred...the charvel model 3 i have is great for rhythm but sucks for lead due to the 22 frets, so does the jackson king v due to the bad access to the upper frets....i need a guitar for all out neoclassical madness [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

excuse my rambling, i'm a bit drunk...just a bit....but still, this thing looks awesome [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Efraid of Ebay, perhaps? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: lookie what i just found - this thing is soo mine

umm...why?
efraid: Everyday,JACKSON AND CHARVEL guitars are put up for sale on E-Bay, some real, some fake. This forum is dedicated to distinguish the real from the fake.
non j/c guitars: Discussion about any other guitars you might own or want.

Re: lookie what i just found - this thing is soo mine

interesting.. I'm looking at the same guitar.. this one:



seller wants 400 euro for it, so it's interesting to see how high the auction will go..

great shredder guitar for sure

Re: lookie what i just found - this thing is soo mine

yeah, i was thinking around 350 euro. it also comes with the hardshellcase which is at least another 50 euro if you buy it extra. normally those 550 guitars go for around 300 euro @ german ebay.
interesting coincidence by the way [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

12 year old...

[/ QUOTE ] A quick research says this guitar is from 2000-2001, Click here for Ibanez Registry page.

At 350 Euro ($US427) that would appear to be a good deal based on what others paid, Click here for Harmony-Central reviews (also appears to be year 2000-2001 vintage).

Re: lookie what i just found - this thing is soo mine

well, i said 12 years old because the seller wrote that in the description....but honestly, i don't care how old a guitar is. i've seen guitars less than two years old that looked like shit, and i've also seen guitars like my charvel (late 80s) that are dead mint. it looks clean on the pictures, though...could very well be newer than 12 years.

I'd love a Desert Yellow 550....

Re: lookie what i just found - this thing is soo mine

My brother had a Desert Yellow RG550 years ago. It was a great guitar but I could never get used to that damn Wizard neck. That's the only reason why I don't have one myself.

Cool guitar. Good luck.

Re: lookie what i just found - this thing is soo mine

That is certainly not a 12 year old 550. It has the AANJ which is much more recent.

Re: lookie what i just found - this thing is soo mine

That has the Bubinga stripe and AANJ. Those options weren't offered until the late 90's. I've got a 550 with the stripe and AANJ and its from 99. Absolutely awesome guitar.

I owned three of them (at different times) in the late '80s - early '90s. I could never get a setup to stick, 'cause the neck would warp if the humidity changed 1%. I finally decided that I wasn't buying any more of them. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
