Ibanez Genesis RG565R CA (Japan) - candy apple

As comfortable as it is versatile (though with a clear leaning toward the Rock/Metal genre), the IBANEZ Genesis Japan Genesis RG565R CA solid body electric guitar continues the modern/traditional hybrid style that made the RG series a success (itself inspired by the Super-Strats of the 1980s).
It’s sure to delight shredders looking for a high-quality (Japanese-made!), versatile instrument with excellent ergonomics.

The RG565R’s construction features a basswood body, a bolt-on neck made of five pieces of maple and walnut, and a rosewood fingerboard (24 frets, jumbo frets, 25.5" scale). This design produces a rich and dynamic acoustic foundation, with thick, punchy lows, mellow mids, and clear highs.
Available, affordable, lightweight, easy to work with, and tonally appealing, basswood gained popularity in the 1980s, particularly among the most prominent shredders. Similar to alder, though with more tempered mids and highs and a balanced frequency response, it is ultimately quite neutral. As a result, it lets the pickups take center stage.

The Ibanez pickup configuration combines a humbucking pickup (AlNiCo magnets) and a stack pickup (ceramic magnets), allowing you to range from generous clean tones to subtle crunch, all the way to aggressive, crisp, and responsive overdrive.
The Ibanez Edge floating double-locking vibrato has proven itself in terms of expressiveness and reliability.
