#Would you recommend a Ibanez RG550 for someone who wants a versatile guitar?

you can get similar from charvel, but if it's the guitar you really want go for it

#

im not a huge fan of the finishes of the RG550 genesis, and also how the neck looks

#

this is the one i have and it's great

if you see yourself changing tunings more than once a week

#

id avoid any floyd rose locking trems

you dont have to go full hardtail

#

a regular two point trem can handle drop D fine

#

consider a Charvel DK24 or something along those lines

#

Volas also look nice

the Schecter NJ HSS is also a nice looker

#

when it comes to versatility i'd just consider a trem. They do everything hardtails do, but more, with the one drawback of heavy drop tuning requires slight adjustments

#

but again drop D is almost nothing to worry about on a trem

#

drop D is the lowest, only thing lower is BADGBE when i play rusty cage from sound garden lol

#

EVH is something id consider as well then

#

their wolfgang special and 5150 guitars both come stick with a d tuna

You could get a non recessed double locking trem

#

They’re pretty bad examples of the EVH guitars imo
