When your playing demands speed, attitude, and tonal versatility, the Ibanez RG565RDY from the Genesis Collection delivers everything the ‘90s promised—only better. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this bold shred machine brings iconic aesthetics and cutting-edge performance together in a vibrant Desert Sun Yellow finish that’s impossible to ignore.

Built for technical mastery, the RG565 features the Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck—a slim, fast profile that offers unmatched comfort for rapid fretwork. Its bound rosewood fretboard, adorned with classic white sharktooth inlays and loaded with 24 jumbo frets, gives players a smooth, articulate platform for expressive solos and complex riffs. The 25.5" scale length and 430mm radius make it a true performer across styles and techniques.

A lightweight basswood body ensures balanced tone and solid resonance without weighing you down. The Edge locking tremolo system, paired with a locking nut, allows for dramatic pitch dives and flutters while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability—ideal for the most adventurous lead guitarists.

Tonal flexibility comes courtesy of an Infinity R ceramic humbucker in the neck and a V8 alnico humbucker in the bridge. Together, they offer a broad sonic range, from tight, rhythm-ready crunch to soaring, singing leads. Whether you're tracking in the studio or turning heads on stage, the RG565 is a standout in performance and style.
