These guitars were only made for about one year. That's it. They have been on the wish list for most shreddres/ibby nuts ever since. They did a sort of reissue at one point about a decade ago, but it didn't have the original wizard profile neck (It was a wizard II which is just a pinch thicker) and it didn't have the original pickups. It was called the 465. I'd still like one of those as well, but I digress. Ibanez has finally realized that the used market for these rare Ibbys of yore has been canibalizing the new market for a long time. To wit, the "Genesis" reissue series At first, it looked like Japan would be the place to get these and the rest of the world was out of luck, but great news!! Now these are made in Japan (where most of the best Ibby's are born), they are also bringing back the original stock pickups. Not that the original pickups were amazing, but they were the original pickups. Many ibby nuts, myself included, like to keep bone stock guitars in a bone stock state. But to each his own and again I digress. This is a very rare configuration for Ibanez. Single Humbucker in the bridge and a single coil sized pup in the neck, with a matching color headstock and no pickguard, and the reverse headstock. It looks like a 565 should look and has the 17mm neck profile in maple, just as it should. True, it's a bit different on wood construction and the neck pup is an inf, but I'll take it. The neck is right, it looks right, and has what is now called the "Super Wizard" neck. In short, thank the saints they are building this again. I've seen 2k pricetags on these on used gear sites and even 1k for a really beat up and modified one. Merry Xmas Ibby fans

It's likely gonna be my next purchase, if I can manage to cut down on how much I spend on food, as we talked about, and actually save up

And you replied. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=783404  QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jan 22 2021, 11:52 AM) Just wanted to follow up! Did you end up pulling the trigger on this and making and order for when they finally do come in? I gather it will be a few months. I'm really wanting one of these badly. These are not INDO's, but actual MIJ Ibbys with the super slim neck profile from the original guitars that made the brand such a fave of shredders all over the world. I just love the way these look. I am really curious to feel how they play!! Which color do you like btw? I was hoping for a road flare red but maybe next namm Todd -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
