The iconic Ibanez RG: three decades of metal mastery, built for speed and power.

The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez lineup. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and power. Whether equipped with a hardtail bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument. The Ibanez Genesis Collection reflects the origins of the RG series. It utilizes the same design and styling, coupled with precise construction and Japanese craftsmanship. This series pays homage to Ibanez's past and offers the same paradigm-shifting features and resounding performance of the original RG. The RG565R features a Super Wizard 5-piece maple/walnut neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and a basswood body. The guitar is also equipped with Infinity R/V8 pickups and an Edge tremolo bridge.
