Electric guitar with Ibanez Infinity R and V8 pickups and Edge double-locking tremolo
With the Ibanez Genesis RG565-FOR Fluorescent Orange, Ibanez expands the Japanese-built Genesis Collection with an eye-catching shredder guitar with reversed headstock and versatile pickup setup. In addition to the basswood body in the familiar RG design with generous cutaways, this electric guitar features a bolt-on, five-piece maple-walnut neck whose "Super Wizard" profile with just 17 mm of wood under the first fret promises extremely great playability. With an Ibanez Infinity R humbucker in a narrow single-coil format and a full-sized Ibanez V8 humbucker at the bridge, the Ibanez Genesis RG565 delivers punchy clean and distortion tones that accurately portray every note played. In addition, the 5-way switching ensures multi-faceted tones. The Ibanez Genesis RG565-FOR Fluorescent Orange is rounded off by a tuning stable Ibanez Edge tremolo that takes even the heaviest whammy bar action with stoic composure.
As a shredding guitar, the Ibanez Genesis RG565-FOR Fluorescent Orange convinces with great playability and hot sounds.

This guitar feels and sounds great for such a low-priced instrument. What you'd expect from Japanese craftsmanship. Out of the box, I had to adjust the neck and bridge slightly due to some fret buzz but other than that, it was good to go. I think they could've went with less 'loud' colours but, I get that they were capturing a moment in time and tastes then. Other than this, the instrument is spot on.
