The RG570L is a left-handed RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2002. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen and was sold only in Europe. It's the first left-handed RG570 since 1992.

The RG570L features a basswood body bolted to a maple Super Wizard neck with a bubinga "skunk stripe" and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. It has Ibanez V7 and V8 humbucking pickups flanking an Ibanez S1 single-coil; the pickups are mounted to pickup rings. Components include an original Edge double locking tremolo bridge, a locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines.

The RG570 is a right-handed version.

The RG570L was eventually superseded by the similar RG1570L Prestige which came out in 2003, although the RG570L continued to be produced through 2004.
