Description
The Ibanez Genesis RG565R in Electric Blue is a bold tribute to the brand’s late-’80s shred heritage, handcrafted in Japan for players who demand speed, precision, and style. Its sleek basswood body is lightweight and resonant, finished in an eye-catching Vampire Kiss red that pairs perfectly with its reverse headstock and black hardware for maximum visual impact.
At the heart of this guitar’s playability is a 5-piece Super Wizard maple/walnut neck with a bound rosewood fretboard and jumbo frets—ideal for technical playing and high-speed runs. The neck’s thin, flat profile makes it effortless to navigate, while the precision fretwork ensures fluid bends and accurate articulation across the entire fingerboard.
Tone comes courtesy of a high-output Alnico V V8 humbucker in the bridge and a ceramic-blade Infinity R in the neck. The five-way selector unlocks a variety of voicings, from aggressive rhythm crunch to glassy cleans, with coil-split-style tones available in positions 2 and 4. Whether you’re playing metal, fusion, or hard rock, this setup delivers the clarity and punch needed to cut through any mix.
Rounding out the package is Ibanez’s legendary Edge locking tremolo system and Gotoh tuners, providing rock-solid tuning stability and expressive divebomb capability. For guitarists seeking a high-budget, performance-driven instrument that channels retro attitude with modern execution, the RG565R-EB is a standout choice.
