Ibanez has expanded the Genesis Collection – its line of 'Made in Japan' classic RG model reissues – with a new version of the RG565 electric guitar, which was first introduced in 1991 but discontinued the following year.

The new version comes in Emerald Green and Fluorescent Orange finishes, while its construction consists of a basswood body, Super Wizard five-piece maple and walnut neck and a 24-fret maple fingerboard with color-matched dot inlays.
