Ibanez RG8565R J Custom, Charmant Wine Red

Full Description

Super Wizard neck speed

The Super Wizard 5-piece Maple/Wenge neck is all about effortless pace and precision, built to let your hands fly across the fretboard without resistance. With its ultra-thin profile and the j.custom Velvetouch satin finish on the back, every movement feels smooth and natural. The bound rosewood fretboard, complete with 24 jumbo frets and Ibanez’s special j.custom fret-edge treatment, makes complex runs and big bends easier than ever. Thanks to the All Access Neck Joint, you’ll glide right up to the highest frets without a second thought, making this neck a real dream for lead players

Pickup power and range

Loaded with a DiMarzio Air Norton S in the neck and a Tone Zone in the bridge, the RG8565R-CWR is armed with serious tonal firepower. These pickups combine high output with clarity, delivering sparkling cleans, chunky rhythm tones and soaring lead lines with ease. The five-way lever switch opens up a wide palette of coil-split options, meaning you can jump from fat humbucker roar to articulate single-coil snap in seconds. Whether you’re working through delicate passages or pushing into heavy distortion, the tonal range here covers just about everything a session guitarist or live player could ask for

Edge tremolo stability

The Edge tremolo system is one of Ibanez’s most celebrated designs, offering buttery-smooth action and rock-solid tuning stability even with heavy whammy use. It’s built to handle dive bombs, subtle vibrato and everything in between without slipping out of tune, making it perfect for players who demand consistency. Premium Gotoh machine heads and strap lock pins provide that extra layer of reliability on stage, while Luminlay side dots make it simple to keep your position under the lights. It’s a setup that feels refined, responsive and totally dependable in any situation

Tonewoods and resonance

A stunning 4 mm Exotic Hard Maple cap over an African Mahogany body gives this guitar its distinctive tonal voice, with the maple adding brightness and snap while the mahogany underpins everything with warmth and sustain. The rosewood fretboard adds depth and a focused midrange, tying the whole sound together into something rich, resonant and versatile. Finished in the striking Charmant Wine Red gloss, the RG8565R doesn’t just sound premium — it looks the part too. With a deluxe hardshell case included, this Japanese-crafted j.custom instrument is built to be as beautiful and inspiring as it is reliable
