Members turtleheadblues Posted September 15, 2010 Members Share Posted September 15, 2010 This dates to 1987 and the color is called Heather Pearl. Very rare not even in the catalogs. Was thrilled to find out it was a block from my house. Even has the original bar. I am thrilled to have found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted September 16, 2010 Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 Gotta say that I never really got into shredder super strats, but that one is really attractive. Congrats on the find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turtleheadblues Posted September 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 exceptional find! what did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking A couple hundred and trade. The funny part is they took it to a local guitar shop that said that pink was a bad color to sell so they didnt want to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seven58 Posted September 16, 2010 Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 Great find! I have a '91 RG 760. It is the best shredding guitar I have every played. Happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benzem Posted September 16, 2010 Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 Great find congrats! And for 200! GTFO! I am jealous. I want a 550 w/a maple board. And an '87 is just icing on the cake as I love that era MIJ. First year! KEEP IT! :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turtleheadblues Posted September 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 17, 2010 I appreciate the info guys. Seems it is worth more than I knew when buying it. Might be selling it to fund other gear I need more. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BenoA Posted November 15, 2010 Members Share Posted November 15, 2010 Sorry to revive an old thread but I "googled" RG 550 heather perl to find more infos on my new acquistion... And was linked to that thread! I too just got one but mine is a 1989 model: More pics here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jbaubry/1989RG550?feat=directlink This guitar is sick. It's my second RG550 in less than 4 months. The other one is a 1994. I really like the necks on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
