Ibanez RG550‑BK (Genesis Collection) — vintage‑style shred workhorse

Detected as an RG550‑BK from Ibanez’s Genesis Collection. Asking price sits notably below a historical like‑for‑like benchmark.

Why we selected it today

The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.
