My new RG550

My RG550 arrived today! It's an '02 in Burgundy Mist - the colour is beautiful -very pimp.

I basically wanted a Floyd Rose equipped guitar to go crazy with, but similiar to my Strat.

Yep, picked it up for a cool £280, used. It has several stains on the neck - I'm not sure what they are, perhaps dried coffee stains or something, but they don't affect playability.

Check it out:

Singer/guitarist from CKY. Fuck you.

Nice guitar, minus the chip in the paint. The color is a bit too feminine for me, but its still very pretty.

Yeah, it's quite a bit faster than the neck on my Strat. Takes a while to get used to, since my Strat has a thicker neck and medium/jumbo frets. Well I've been playing it exclusively.

Check ebay daily!
"RG/Musical Instruments"
"550/Musical Instruments"
"570/Musical Instruments"

That's how I found this beauty!

(three months back some lucky bastard won a 02 RG570 for £210! )

Edit: Yeah i think it's just dirt. If it was coffee it would be sticky, and I would be able to feel it.

I wish! I sold it before Christmas because I needed some extra cash and I never really played it. I had a nice RG770DX I sold a while back. I'm down to just one Ibanez now.

well yea i would love to get one, but i doubt jerry has any autographs
but i was just curious because, as sad as it may seem to some of you lot, mick thomson is the reason i started guitar, i wanted to be like him, hes the one who inspired me to pick it up. i guess hes my version of dimebag, like i've read about the great influence dime had on a lot of you here, so yea, hes like my guitar idol that i look up to.

laugh if you want, im cool with it, but i aint gonna lie

sorry if i seem a lil defensive

User01, you should really start paying attention in english class. You sound retarded when you write stuff, I can't even make out what you're trying to say half of the time.

Does anyone know what the fret size on an '02 RG550?

On a similar note, to you folk in the UK intersted in an RG550, check this out:
