I'm actually after an origional 550... all i've found so far is one in yellow! and very battered...

Twinfan · « **Reply #4 on:** January 18, 2007, 10:07:56 PM »

I've been after an original yellow with matching headstock for 18 months. Hens teeth and rocking horse poo are easier to find.

I've got a DSY and a RFR on order :D

How much are they?

I can't believe they didn't do a black with maple though!

Twinfan · « **Reply #6 on:** January 18, 2007, 10:25:45 PM »

£849 retail, and I got mine for £800. They come with a matching case and accessories. Check this out:

Damn, i can't afford one, well i can but they will be all snapped up before i get the money to buy one!

£800? jeez, that's a lot. and what's with the "rosewood" fingerboard in the spec list? :lol:

£800? I could find an original on ebay for almost half that. :roll:

Got to be honest, £850 retail does seem kind of steep.

I wouldn't buy one, but that's only because I wouldn't be able to play it properly.

Dunno why, but something about guitars like these turns me into some kind of inept, fret-mangling monkey. Give me a Les Paul and I'm fine again.

Still, I like the idea of a 20th anniversary model, if for no other reason than it stops Fender having a monopoly on anniversary instruments!

You try and find an '87 to '93 DSY RG550 in the UK on eBay. I've been trying to get one for 18 months and not one has been on there.

In the US they're $899 which is one hell of a deal. I'm paying UK price so I know I can get hold of them both.

Why two of the exact same guitar though?
