The RG565 is an RG series solid body electric guitar model reissued by Ibanez in late 2020. This model is a reissue of the original RG565, which was produced in 1991 and 1992.
Similarities to the classic RG565 include a basswood body, a tilt neck joint with a stamped metal plate, a reversed headstock, a maple fingerboard with color-matched dot position markers and an original Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut. Differences include a five-piece laminated maple and walnut neck (the original neck was one-piece maple) and the pickups which consist of an Ibanez V8 humbucker at the bridge and an Ibanez Infinity R single-coil sized humbucker at the neck.
