The 550's overlooked sibling. featured

Sound The sound of the guitar is amazing for a stock Ibanez, I own a purple '90 model, and have owned several other 560's through the years. Unplugged the guitar resonates loud and strong.
The v series pickups are good for most styles of music, I don't prefer them to the 7xx series, but they are much better than the current stock Ibanez offerings.
I have used these Rg560's in church, in metal gigs and even some funk.
The guitar runs well through many types of amps but it really shines through SLP's, Jcm 800's, Mesa Recto's and Marks, Engl's, the gain brings a bit more character to the bridge humbucker, but the two single coils ring like bells, and suit many softer types of music. Never found anything out of the order when running effects, good or bad...
I usually use GHS Boomers 9's for standard tuning all the way up to 12's for drop Bb.


Reliability & Durability The guitars are usually had at a relative bargain and they are well worth it.
Having said that, the older a guitar is, the closer you have to pay attention to it's needs.
The neck cracks and joint cracks in old ibanez square heels is usually found in these too. As long as you make sure they arent spreading or too deep you should be ok.
Also with any original wizard neck i'd have it checked by a luthier and adjusted as needed.
The original edge is an excellent double locking trem but keeping the knife edges sharp is a good idea.
I'd always bring several guitars to a gig if possible, especially double locking ones.
The black finished example i had, seemed to have a thicker poly finish than my purple and red ones....but definately not going to wear off in months if it hasnt in 20 years.


Customer Support Ibanez...... not so helpful, but the suppliers are usually helpful and parts are readily accesible.


Liked about it -awesome trem
-awesome neck
-awesome fit and finish, great value.


Didn't like -dot inlays are kind of boring....but the rg760 is available as well.
