Is there any difference between the rg550 and rg560?

I've got a couple trade offers for older ibanez rgs. One is an rg550 and the others an rg560. I never really got off into the ibanez scene so I'm not too sure if there are any differences between these models, but I've heard the old rgs are great guitars. More than likely I'll just make the trade and sell the guitar since I'm already short on space as it is. I know there some hardcore ibanez guys in here that dig these

RG550 is HSH and the RG560 is HSS. I don't think I've seen a maple fretboard version of the RG560, but most of the 550s had maple fretboards. The 560 also had no pickguard.

Alright cool man, thanks.

With those two you really can't go wrong IMO. Just a preference of pickup combos and if you like pickguards really.
