What a beast in your hands! I really like this guitar. The setup is perfect for me. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Good luck with the customization process!🤘
I think, that Ibanez 550 with fishmans is ultimate guitar for everything for the middle price..but if we're looking to the situation with Epiphones for 1200$, even prices for new LTDs - this Ibanez is even lower than middle price) And thanks for the wishes..it's so cool, that I don't wanna touch it))
Interesting with the backplate rechargeable, haven’t seen that before. You can go active without routing for the battery, that’s cool 😮 have the same guitar in red and it’s amazing.
@@janolesen8938 red flare is wild color, awesome guitar! about the battery plate - cool innovative solution for superstrats, I’m glad, that previous owner installed it)
@@worknrolla funny thing, it was the only color available at the time. And I have a mountain bike in the exactly same color, which was also the only available color….🤔😂🎸
@@janolesen8938 this is the destiny! I love the rg550 in purple and in that red flare (not shure which one I like more). Purple is calm, but red flare is "look at me, I'm created to kill and bring you 80s"...and it can match your Ferrari, in case you have it) but mountain bike works, too)
Awesome playing 🎸🔥 I have the yellow 550 and plan on leaving it stock but I was already thinking about doing a purple one too with mods like you just did. Love those tones you are getting 💪🏻💯
Thanks 😊 about the joint and complains..when I see guys are doing crazy sweep/shred things on Les Paul’s or 9” fretboards on strats..joint is the last thing they’re thinking about)
Man, wicked! I see your sensibilities, and I value your opinion and that wicked noise banshee machine off of that first. BTW, I possess a Japanese Les Paul, too! It's an Edward's 85sd Les Paul Standard, made in 2000 in a very rare solid navy blue and a 58 style transparent mahogany neck with sultry flames top to bottom 👌. I had modded it all the way around cosmetically, and I had hot-rodded it into my own sort of John Sykes/Gary Moore machine, electronically, with a ceramic Dirty Fingers sm in the bridge and a ceramic 498r in the neck. The hardware is a Gotoh 510 tailpiece and a hybrid Faber tune-o-matic with brass saddles for the bottom strings and titanium saddles for the high strings. I will be buried like a pharaoh with it! You have earned yourself a new subscriber, my man.
Haha, thanks bro! Les Paul’s for life) mine is Burny in BlackBeauty outfit from early 90s (no maple cap). My respect for the Sykes/Moore and I had a Dirty Fingers in the bridge,too)) for now it’s Emgs 60-60, but the day will come and I’ll put a good set of Dimarzios, cause I miss the passive neck sounds. Got a question for you about Faber, I researched this topic, does it makes noticeable changes? Thanks once again)
@worknrolla OH shit! Look at that. Great minds, think alike, don't they? Nice taste in Burnys, of course. And that question about Faber hardware (or hardware in general) IS A SOLID YES! This is the thing, though. You must first gage the core tone of whatever guitar first (the wood in sound and resonance). Then, I'll recommend that you then visualize the particular unique overall range of tone to expand and volume for whatever you choose. I do this by playing back my personal recordings in general and my trove of favorite players. Naturally, the magic erupts out of what is consistent to your liking. Then, when you go about researching/shopping for parts, you pay attention to the fundamentals of each kind element for hardware (aluminum, brass, zinc, titanium, etc) and decide wisely how you would sum up as a good mix of these elements of hardware (or not). Also, as the best educated opinion on this question, I do recommend strongly that you should dismember the entire guitar from top to bottom and replace it with whatever intricate combo of new setup. This is where the amp will damn near yank you into it, like "the Poltergeist"! (I wish I was kidding). The most optimal outcome is over and beyond evident to how you feel and what you hear this way. It's all a matter of changing what you like less and keeping what you like more, too. It depends. The wiring styles and the particular capacitors is crucially integral as well (its the secret weapon between atomic and nuclear, sonically). Once again, there's no particular best as it relates to what the players vision is for a particular guitar, so don't jump and think that Bumble Bee caps, for example, are the way to go just because they are in deed, awesome. Just check out online Gibson's 'Jessica' model Les Paul with Orange Capacitors and Custom Bust Buckers (alnico v? And I suspect the hardware to be zink infused with aluminum) VS. Gibson's Les Paul 1978 Custom Black Beauty (John Sykes) with matching Tim Shaw Era Dirty Fingers Humbuckers in neck AND bridge, and you will find the sonic resonance to be unique between them two despite them both being substantially high output setups. This is a good sample to research as a supreme place to test your taste! Try hearing these two for curiosity sake, alone. Oh yeah, on my modded Les Paul of Subject, I applied old 50s wiring for the pots with two $45 dollar vintage spec Bumble-Bee capacitors. The neck capacitor is worth, .15u, and the bridge is worth, .22u. Now, try to generally imagine the dynamic between the very two sorts of Humbuckers that I had installed in my Blue Les Paul? Simpler said, the difference should be as alarming as switching out speakers in a cab for the first time. I hope that this does you justice, bro!
@@Foxtrot1989 wow, thanks for the detailed answer..but I think you bring more things to research and consider) I checked the question with bridges and materials (only on UA-cam, not in real life) and I listened a lot (bridges and stop tails, tests, etc)..The Vintage guys: "only light aluminium by 59s specs is good enough"...every other guy has the opposite opinions (brass/zink/blablabla)) I wanted to experiment and buy something from Faber, but after the tons of opposite information I just changed tune o matic for the new zink Gotoh, saved the old one gotoh stop tail (zink, too, I guess) and concentrated on the music, but I defenetly want to change the pickups in the future..I'd like to try the alnico 2 in the neck (listened once and liked it so much) and I'll try the 50's wiring, too, thanks! P.s - for my taste, my "go to" sound of les paul heroes - John Sykes, Doug Aldrich, Vivian Campbell, Randy Rhoades
@work_n_roll Wow, bro, those big 4 are my personal exact "go-to" Les Paul guitar slingers! We must be kindred spirits in that regard, absolutely. As for my suggestions of different hardware, my intention was to just make you wise to the wide gamut of sounds that can be produced out of whatever combo that you could experiment with. I just emphasized the research of individual materials of whatever kinds of hardware for the sake of endorsing your own distinct personality as a player. There's lots of opinionated advice videos, so the ART lies in LISTENING for the variable nuances of each material piece, rather than following the advisors' opinions. Individuality is what bought us key players of all kinds, like Sykes, Moore, Campbell, and Aldridge! As for the humbucker scenario, I would recommend peeping out some Dimarzio 57 humbuckers alnico 2s, Seymour Duncan RTM (Demartini, alnico 2), and some of what Gibson has recently added to their pickup catalog, for some intrigue at least. By the way, zink is said by many opinionated folks to be the lesser of material, but the reality of it relies on the vision of the player FIRST and the resonance of the wood of any guitar, as each wood species and each guitar differs, let alone the different picking attacks of each individual players hands and style. Right on, regardless!
This sounds awesome! Where did you get that Humbucker-Humbucker pickguard from without the Single Coil opening? I might mod my rg550 in the same way with Tim Henson Fluence
this is the mod of the previous owner, he put the new H-H plate, but you can put the H-H to the H-S-H plate and put some dummy single cover in the center
These Genesis models are incredible value for money. Even if you don't swap out the pickups, if you have a good amp you can get very decent tones with these V7/8 humbuckers. And what most people get wrong about the Ibanez RG: it's not just a shredder's/ metal guitar but a very versatile instrument. The only thing I don't like is the oldschool block neck joint. I know I know.. it's supposed to be a ''re-issue'' of the original RG550, but they did some modern upgrades to it, like the volute and the multi-piece neck. So why not go the extra mile and put a modern ''All Access'' neck joint on it too? In any case, great guitars and I hope they release a Genesis version of the RG1570 in the future. If they do that, I will buy one in a heartbeat.
Since the Genesis line is a modernized reissue rather than a 100% match of all the exact specs like you pointed out, they could have gone the square heel route yet choose the cutaway heel from older Jems instead. Old school looks aplenty, but fret access slightly better than the tilt joint. Still a great guitar!
Thanks, my congratulations! I got hsh original one and have a thoughts to put it back just with single coil cover in the center for more classic look..so maybe it’s the solution for you? All the mods were done by previous owner, but I think it’s from Amazon..or from a local Ibanez dealer (if it’s original)

Hello from the heartland of America. I just found you. I love Japanese craftsmanship with Ibanez guitars. I have a 1993 S series I love. I have in the past owned an RG from 1990 like this. I actually think the new ones are even better because they have the laminated neck which is better for not warping. I guess if I had to complain and it's really being very picky I wish they would use Stainless frets, but at this price that's too much to ask. Great guitars and they are very comfortable. I just built a strat with EMG actives and a Warmoth thin neck with Xtra jumbo stainless frets and they are so nice to bend with. I have not tried the Fishmans, but they sound great in this video and you play very well sir.. May I ask what country you are from? You kind of sound French? 😂 I did subscribe too! Good stuff and I totally agree with everything you said about these guitars. They are the best and a great deal for Japanese craftsmanship.. ❤ Best regards from South Central Indiana. USA. Tim. ❤
Hi, thanks!

@@worknrolla Oh. I almost forgot to say.
