With the Ibanez Genesis RG565-LB Laser Blue Ibanez expands the Japanese-made Genesis Collection with an eye-catching shredder guitar with a reversed headstock and flexible pickup setup. In addition to the basswood body in the familiar as well as agile RG design, the electric guitar features a bolt-on maple-walnut neck whose "Super Wizard" profile promises extremely agile playing characteristics. With an Ibanez Infinity R humbucker in a narrow single-coil format and a full-sized Ibanez V8 humbucker at the bridge, the Genesis RG565 delivers powerful clean and distorted tones that accurately portray every note played.

In designing the Japanese-built Genesis RG565, Ibanez pays special attention to ideal handling and powerful sound. While the sleek linden body sits comfortably against the body thanks to the large-scale belly cut, the wide cutaways allow unobstructed access to the high registers of the bolt-on, five-piece maple and walnut neck. The extremely slim "Super Wizard" profile with just 17 mm of wood under the first fret, together with the flat 17" fingerboard radius (430 mm), promises excellent playing characteristics for virtuoso solos and tight riffing on the 24-fret maple fingerboard.
For electric sound conversion, the Genesis RG565 relies on a slim Ibanez Infinity R humbucker in the neck position and a full-sized V8 humbucker at the bridge. Equipped with powerful ceramic magnets, the pickups elicit both full-bodied clean tones and punchy overdrive and distortion tones from the guitar amp, rendering every note with razor-sharp articulation even when drop-tuned. In addition to the 5-way pickup switch, which can be used to call up a wide variety of tonal nuances, the Volume and Tone controls give you full control over the sound of the electric guitar.
