Genesis: The Return to the Roots of the RG, High-Precision Version
An iconic model in the Ibanez universe, the RG has established itself as a reference for guitarists seeking speed, precision, and reliability. The Ibanez Genesis collection continues this legacy by embracing the codes that marked the brand's history, while focusing on rigorous luthiery and Japanese craftsmanship oriented toward performance. The RG565R embodies this philosophy: a "machine" designed for technical playing, built to handle tight rhythms as well as vibrato solos.
The Sound
The basswood body delivers a balanced and fairly neutral sonic foundation, ideal for letting the pickups define the character: this wood is highly appreciated for saturated tones as it preserves clarity. The pair of humbuckers Infinity R (neck) and V8 (bridge) emphasize a tight, precise, and dynamic output, with good clarity even when the gain is high. The simple and effective electronics (1 volume, 1 tone) and the 5-position selector switch allow quick navigation between sharp rhythmic registers and rounder tones for leads.
