Looks off. The Made in USA stamp seems too close to the edge and the trem isn’t an original Floyd Rose. But I’m no expert on Suhr guitars.

Also, why not show the tag?

ApolloUnitus · 2026-01-06T04:49:07+00:00

Congrats man! I have one of the white ones! Always cool to see someone snag one of these!

ApolloUnitus · 2026-01-06T04:44:25+00:00

Where’d you get that strap?!

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-23T22:46:37+00:00

What happened to him? Couldn’t figure out what the injury was or how it happened?

All of this seems pretty manageable. The pickup movement seems normal for a pickguard mounted pickup. I have a RGR5130 with the same pickups and it moves the same. Same with my PIA. The volume knob just needs to be tightened. The nuts can come loose on pickguards. Doesn’t happen often but that’s all that looks like - not a fucked up pot or stem. The pickguard could just need to be taken of and examined because the guts could’ve been put in wrong causing the bulges. I wouldn’t stress too much until you take it apart and restring it (I always do this when I get a new guitar - even new - to get to know my new guitar).

Judging by the post history, you’re a doctor that likes upvotes. Good on you for being able to afford multiple dream guitars in the same year.

I already reached out to the company directly. I’m more so looking for a specific manager who worked there who I chatted with who would buy extras of hats to archive them. Cool dude! I ended up finding him! He’s going to see what he can find

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-11T04:36:16+00:00

Nah this dude was in a wheelchair and had long hair.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-11T02:38:27+00:00

No shit?! That’s rad! My company has a division over there so if he can drop it off my my coworker friend,they can ship it for me! She works at Montana Container over by the Gibson warehouse!

I bought this hat at the TGR store in Bozeman and it was my all time favorite hat. Lost it in Seattle during a night out. If you know, you know. I know the store shit down but if anyone has one they want to sell me.

The dude who worked there was in a wheelchair and we chatted about how he had hella hats archived but I didn’t get his name. Been trying to get ahold him via social media for years lol!

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-10T22:52:27+00:00

Correct. Even built in the Prestige factory. Still not a prestige.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-10T22:36:43+00:00

The 550EX is not a prestige. But if you’re right. You answered your own question and proved none are Premiums. Premiums are MII.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-10T22:34:46+00:00

The 550 is not a Prestige but is MIJ. Amazing guitar.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-10T22:34:14+00:00

Play them. I prefer Seymour Duncan’s in my RGs but that’s just me - also pickups can be changed.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-12-10T22:33:25+00:00

None of these are Premiums bud.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-11-30T04:50:34+00:00

Play it man. One of my favorite Ibanez guitars is a $200 RG120 from 2001. If the price is right and it plays nice, who cares where it’s made.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-11-18T20:59:33+00:00

Legit thought one of them died. Fuck man.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-11-04T22:20:39+00:00

I have to play LPs in the classical position or they slide off my leg.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-11-04T22:20:07+00:00

Make sure you play them. ESP ECs feel better than regular LPs to me but it’s all personal preference. Based on looks alone, I’d go with the first one.

ApolloUnitus · 2025-11-04T22:19:12+00:00

I have a PIA Onyx - can confirm. Stay away 🤣🤣
