2026 Ibanez Limited Edition Genesis Collection RG565R Purple Neon

Ibanez has once again revived its popular high-performance throwback model, the RG565R, in a limited run of exclusive, Japanese-built guitars from the Genesis Collection. This solidbody RG boasts a basswood body with classic shred dynamics, an upgraded 5-piece Super Wizard neck, and a fast-playing, bound 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. Sonically, the RG565R delivers warm, articulate leads with ample harmonic overtones, thanks to an IBZ V8 bridge humbucker, beautifully complemented by the versatile, rail-style Infinity R single-coil-sized humbucker in the neck position. The RG565R’s performance-focused hardware includes an original Edge double-locking tremolo and Gotoh tuning machines, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability through every dip, dive, and bend. This guitar is complete with the full complement of iconic Ibanez eye candy, including shark-tooth inlays, a limited-edition high-gloss poly finish, and a head-turning reverse headstock. Showcasing what Ibanez fans love about these classic instruments, the Genesis Collection RG565R is a nostalgic love letter to one of history’s boldest guitar designs.
