Well, I might end up changing the pickups on mine anyways as I don't keep it as a collectible, but as a player.

did you keep 9's on it or did you put 10's on it? I've been considering putting 10's on it as I overbend a lot with 9's.

I would definitely buy new stringset and go from there. You never know until you put new strings - they always sound much brighter.

Sorry for butting into your private discussion but isn't the 550 brighter in tone cause of the maple fretboard. It has a maple one, right? If it does I think that will add quite a bit to the bright tone.
And then maybe, since brightness is so up front you may have to work a little extra to get that part right since it's nothing a listener will miss. This post has been edited by MickeM: Mar 2 2008, 01:01 AM -------------------- My bands homepage

I believe Goliath has the black one which has a rosewood fretboard.

Yeah, I couldn't find a desert sun yellow one for sale anywhere, which is what I REALLY wanted, so I made due with the black one . Although in the RG550 20th promo featuring Paul Gilbert, he does play mostly on the black one
I like the way it plays just fine, but it just doesn't get in your face on the highs like I would like it too. I think an EQ might be a good idea to boost the highs on it. Thanks for that idea. EDIT: no , he has the RFR one mostly but he does say nothing is more metal than black RG550 20th promo This post has been edited by Goliath: Mar 2 2008, 06:04 PM -------------------- "King V" enthusiast
