I have several Ibanez RG guitars in my collection - 550, 1550 and RGA 121. But I have never owned an RG 565, although I really liked them in 1991 - 1992. So when I saw that Ibanez were reissuing the model, I acted immediately.
As always, Thomann sent the guitar quickly and well packaged. Congratulations.
In short – a wonderful guitar!!!
The color (EB) is warm and pleasant.
Extremely fast and comfortable neck. This is the most playable guitar of all I have and that is it.
The V8 pickup sounds wonderful, but it is not for modern metal or metalcore. It is made for hard rock and classic metal.
The only downside is the infinity R adapter. The V1 and V7 on my older RG guitars are much more wide-ranging. Of course, this is subjective. I will probably replace this pickup someday, but not now.
Once again – this is a wonderful guitar. Buy it.
