Well lads, here's the history:
Many moons ago, I bought on of these babies(a 1989) from my brothers band mate.
It was a mighty axe, & we played more gigs than I can remember(mostly church-related)
A couple years ago, I ended up trading it in + some cash toward a Mexican strat...the thing was getting just plain worn: frets, fretboard finish, electronics etc and I just decided to forgo reconditioning & look at options for reselling.
Fast forward many moons later, I start to surf around ebay & I can now see that the RG 550's are actually starting to become collector pieces of sorts..I see decent purples ones selling for 600+all day long.
Ibanez even reissued the RG550 they became so popular again..
Meanwhile,
my brother([Steve]always wheeling/dealing guitars) informed me of this Orange RG he had.
Long story short, he gave it to me.
So, here I am, back in possession of one of the coolest, easy playing & killer sounding guitars I've played.
As far as amps go, I have always mostly used amps as a monitor, sometime smicing, but mainly I play through(get ready for this) my faithful old
ZOOM 2020 Player!
I currently own a Fender DSP chorus(freebie also!)
Very killer sounding amp in it's own right.
Someday soon, when I can get up some motivation, I'll look into putting some jams together & record some fresh stuff for the profile..
Cheers!
Rich
...That's a great guitar!
