I need information about the RG565-LB-M

[dragibus]

can anyone tell me more about this model RG565-LB-M.It appears on the 1991 ibanez catalog.
How rare is this?
Have u ever seen someone selling one here?
have ibanez ever produced another reverse headstock with maple fingerboard model (except the PGM 301).
I know it's a lot of questions but i'm looking really bad for a ibanez reverse headstock with a maple neck.
thanks for your help

I know only 2 guitars with reverse headstock and maple fingerboard. It is RG565 and RG580, but this is only japan model (so it is quite rare). It is similar to 565, but it has got different color and black dots. RG565 aren't very rare, you can see few of them on e***y from time to time, so check it out.

I used to have the blue one and a red one, sold them both and I wish I hadn't. Truely the best Ibanez I've ever played. If you find one and buy it, don't let go of it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they only made them for 3 years or so. They're kind of rare, but you can find them. Just keep checking evilbay a couple of time a week. I just saw one on there a week ago in the teal green color.

There is also a Guitar Center anniversary model RG560 with maple fingerboard and reverse headstock. --Jason

I have an RG565LB but what is the M for? If it refers to the maple fretboard, all of the 565s had maple fretboards except for that really wild DY with the sharktooth inlays. (There's a couple threads around here on that one) Anyway mine is all apart right now waiting funds to get new pups for her as I scavenged the pups from her to put in my 565CA. The fetboard is really stained and dirty so I'm cleaning it up fret by fret and then I'll re- seal it, and make a frankenRG out of it but I might be persuaded to hand the project off to some one else.

I own one of those Guitar Center RG560's, it does have a reversed headstock and maple fretboard. I was considering selling it, let me know if you are interested. I dont have digital pics, but can if needed.
