Hi guys, new to the Ibanez thing so please be gentle!

I brought a 90's Ibanez today from my local guitar shop as it sounded great and fitted my budget perfectly! Wanted to find a bit more about it,

It is marked as a RG565, it is a metallic green colour with reverse headstock and body coloured fret markers. However it has a H - S - H layout using V1 S1 and V2 ibenez pu's which is unlike any other I have seen so far on the internet?

Will see if i can get some pics laters, what ever it is I really like it so am not that bothered!!

Thanks

Andy

The RG565 had one single coil and one humbucking pickup according to the USA catalogs. Yours may be a domestic (Japan) model. Or, it's been modified. What's the serial number?

looks like a 565 neck on a 570 body to me, but that's just my opinion

I thought about that too, but the headstock color matches the body. Did the 570 come in that color?

in 1992 they (565, 570) had pretty much the same colors.
