The Ibanez Genesis Series RG550L‑DY in Desert Sun Yellow is a left‑handed solid‑body electric guitar from Ibanez’s influential Genesis lineup, originally introduced in the mid‑1980s and produced in Japan. It features a basswood body finished in a glossy Desert Sun Yellow that highlights the sleek, double‑cutaway RG silhouette. The bolt‑on maple neck uses Ibanez’s original thin, fast profile with a 25.5‑inch scale length, and the bound rosewood fingerboard carries 24 frets with shark‑tooth inlays, supporting agile playing across both rhythm and lead positions.

Neck construction includes a double‑locking Tremolo System, matched with a locking nut to enhance tuning stability during expressive playing. The left‑handed configuration mirrors the same hardware and neck design as the right‑handed model, allowing players who prefer left‑handed instruments to access the full range of the Genesis Series’ playability. Tuners at the headstock are sealed die‑cast units, and overall hardware is finished in black to complement the vibrant body colour.

Electronics on the RG550L‑DY consist of an HSH pickup configuration with two single‑coil pickups in the neck and middle positions and a high‑output humbucker at the bridge, designed to offer versatile tones from crisp cleans to driven leads. Controls include a master volume, a master tone, and a five‑way pickup selector switch, providing access to a broad palette of sounds suitable for rock, metal, fusion, and other styles. The combination of the fast neck, versatile electronics, and stable tremolo hardware made the RG550 a standout model in the Genesis Series.
