1988-2008=25 years? And the reissue of the 550 was put out last year not this year so... that's 1987-2007=20 .

The guitars are a faithful recreation with some minor improvements in the neck, but I would not call them NOS. Personally I think they are an improvement over the original, but YMMV.

The guitars are long sold out, so you will have a find left over one, or go used.

Yeah limited release on those. You have about 400 of the RFR floating around, so you should be able to snag one.

They sold for $799 new, and you can still find them on the bay for close to that.
