Hall of Fame: 2005 Ibanez RG565 Electric Guitar in Electric Blue
Vincent BarrasShare
The Ibanez RG565 Electric Guitar in Electric Blue is a high-performance instrument built for speed, precision, and expressive playability. With its super-thin Wizard neck, 24 jumbo frets, and Edge double-locking tremolo, it delivers effortless shredding and rock-solid tuning stability.
The V8 bridge humbucker and Infinity single-coil pickup give a wide tonal range, from searing leads to crisp cleans, making it perfect for metal, hard rock, and fusion players. Originally launched in the late 1980s and reissued as part of the Genesis Collection, the RG565 carries the DNA of Ibanez’s golden era when Japanese craftsmanship at the FujiGen factory helped define the modern super-Strat.
