Anyone played the new RG550 genesis as I’m looking for a new guitar to replace my xiphos XPT700 due to the poor trem.
Considering an RG550 though I’m open to anything really will be used for thrash and technical death metal as well as ambient stuff, requires a Double Locking trem and a HH or HSH Pup Configuration
Budget is 1100 dollars new or used
So far I’ve seen
