Hardware on Ibanez RG505

[athlon]

howdy

i have seen one of these for sale in a shop, but have never heard of them. How do they compare to the 550 ??

what hardware is on them ?? do they have an Lo Pro Trem ??

thanx

i think it's the pre- 550 model..

[cerealk]

it was the 550 model equivalent in the years when they had the rg550dx ones out

[jono]

The RG505 had the Edge trem rather than the Lo-Pro. It came with V7,V8 and S1 pickups and was released in Fall 1995.

Imho they're no different to a 550 with the exception of the rosewood board. Oh and it also had the slightly thicker Wizard II neck profile.

can i ask another ???

what the RG470 like ??

or does it have the dreaded TRS trem ??

[Doink]

470 has the TRS, unless you get one of the late 80's models, but then I think it's still Korean. So either way, get a 5XX.
