Everytime you sell a 550, god kills a kitten.

Keep the 550 mate. It's the better guitar.

Re: Which RG should I keep? There can be only one.

The same thread on Harmony Central is 42-3 for the 550. I was hoping for better balance here.

The 550 is a better guitar. It has a LoPro while the 470 will have something like an EdgeIII. This isn't even a fair comparison, hence the landslide.

Surely no one is surprised that the 550 wins, everyone knows that 550=win.

Rock on!

It's a Japanese LO-TRS, and it holds tune just as well as the LoPro. I know the 450 will never get the same respect, but as far as functionality, the two guitars are almost identical.
