The much debated "All-Access Neck Joint"
I played a new Ibanez RG550 Genesis model then played this 2001 RG570 and honestly liked the neck joint on the RG570 much better. Even though the RG550 Genesis has a cutaway on the back for upper fret access, the neck heel is still square and it actually gets in the way when upper fretting. Otherwise, the quality of the RG550 Genesis was incredible.
