I took the plunge and put an order in for a RG565 Genesis. Always wanted one so I finally ordered one. Of course, they are all out of stock and the folks at sweetwater aren't sure if the open orders will ever be honored by Ibanez at this point as the guitar is currently out of production. They are hoping that they may get another run some time around October. Uggh. Then again, they told me in all honesty that they may never get another unit, period. So who knows at this point.

I know Ben is in the same situation. Then again, evidently wads of folks are in the same situation. These guitars sold out just a bit after being available for sale. I suspect we will start seeing some price gouging on the secondary market pretty soon. All one can really do is hope for the best smile.gif I gotta say, even the chance of getting one of these is making 2021 look at little brighter smile.gif

This guitar is a bit of a Unicorn for Ibby fans. Only in production for a year and then crazy pricey on the aftermarket. Even a beat up Original run MIJ 565 can run $1,000. The non MIJ reissue of the guitar in red can run $800 on the secondary market and it doesn't even feature the much loved 17mm neck profile. Given how popular 7 and 8 string guitars are just now, and how popular things like roasted maple necks, fluence pickups, and burled tops are on various Ibanez Models, I was really suprised how quickly these sold out. It's a pretty basic design of a mid range guitar from 30 years ago featuring stock Ibby pups.

ANYONE ELSE BUYING ONE OF THESE?


I got the green/blue one btw smile.gif

A hope it works out for you Todd.

That would be my choice in colour if a was to get one.The more I look at it the more I like it. I have a urge to get a guitar with a floyd rose again. Guitars I have had previously a ended up selling as I just didnt get on with the floyd rose. Maybe I need to give it another go smile.gif

I went for that color as well. Should be here in early June for me, which is fine as I can then save up.

Congratulations Todd, that's the colour I'd have if only they did a fixed bridge version.

The guy from sweetwater told me they had been discontinued! They have wads of open orders and they are telling folks OCTOBER!!! That is if they ever get any at all, ever again. Uggh. 8 Months waiting. If they do re source these to Korea Indonesia I'm gonna cancel my order, especially if they put a wizard II or Wizard III on it. sad.gif

Fixed Bridge RG565? Heresy!!! smile.gif

You already have that killer prestige though. You are spoiled for choice as they say! Love seeing your axe each time you use it in a vid.

Super thanks! Been waiting a long time for this one. I hope I haven't waited too long and they never make any more of them!

When I messaged Thomann I was told they would get 4 by May 31st and 2 of them had already been pre-ordered. This was early January. So I quickly put in a pre-order.

Maybe they have some in the pipeline just for Thomann? The guys at sweet water are still taking money, but telling everyone that the order may NEVER actually get filled sad.gif I shouldn't have waited so long.
