Wow, Rick. That tone is just the stuff I hear in my dreams. I have an RG565 too, it's one of my all time favorites. Mine is Laser Blue with matching blue DiMarzio setup.
I just started trying to learn guitar less than a month ago. A friend of ours gave us this same RG565 as a gift that belonged to her son when he was a kid. I googled it looking for parts and your video came up. That's so inspiring man!!
i have a 565 that I bought in 1991. Lazer blue. Still have it.....and still love it. Swapped the pickups out for dimarzio evolution and another dimarzio single coil one (can't remember the model). Pickups have blue covers, volume knobs swapped out for blue ones, and blue selector switch tip. It looks amazing....and even though I don't play much anymore.....I would never get rid of this work of art. BTW.....KILLER playing!
They are two different models. Both built and released at the same time, but the 565 is a single coil neck with a humbucker bridge, reversed headstock and maple fretboard. The 550 is H-S-H pickup config, standard headstock and rosewood fretboard. They both have the same tremolo bridge system, and 'wizard' profile neck, however. I got the same RG565 as Rick last month, and it's honesty the best neck I've ever played on
Not as cool as my 1993 Rg750 in metallic red with original C series PUs. Yes the Original PUs were made by DiMazio and voiced for the RG with extended lows and highs and cannot be improved on...They offer the perfect balance throughout the frequencies for RG guitars.
So, I have a question for anyone who may know to answer. I try to play a couple different string skipping legato passages, but really have trouble just getting the notes to come out. I don't consider myself to be very sloppy at them or anything, it just seems no matter how hard I try and hammer on, I can't get a good note out. Might it be because of the amp I'm using? It's a Line 6 Spider IV. Just a practice amp.
Are you using a very high gain tone? The reason I ask its that most modelling amps have a very aggressive noise gate, could this be th he issue? Do you practice techniques with a clean/unplug ed tone?
Ben Caffrey I just recently dialed in a high gain tone that I think sounds a bit like Rick's. Now, I haven't tried these legato phrases too much on that tone, but I never had any luck on the generic metal/insane amp model tones. Which I think kinda suck now. I have the noise gate off completely. I do practice with a clean tone every now and then. I practice unplugged a good bit, but the majority of my practice goes with distortion. Are you suggesting I should always practice clean?
awesome video. i would also like to see you demo a kirk hammett purple sparkle fixed neck ltd they just came out with on the market...your ibanez sounds better...

When Rick Graham was born.. Ibanez knew he would be a great guitar player.. so they launched the RG series in his honor!
Are you sure?
While I appreciate your knowledge... Slametal was just making a joke. RG? Rick Graham? Just a funny coincidence ;)
Jasper Law yeesh some people are thick huh? Lol
@KEN5423 woosh
I’m so shocked there are the fuckin idiot who can’t understand good joke :(
Those older japanese Ibanez guitars are probably some of the best guitars in general ever built! Especially the RG550!

Nicely done. Killer sound.
Rick You're one of the Best Guitar players.

Great geeter! I have 2, one red one green.

SOUNDS LIKE A SIZZLER! GOD DAMN!
Sounds amazing!
Those ibanez guitar sound great
Sounds awesome!
How good is the guitar from 1-10 Rick?
And is it worth buying for 450£?
Good question
So... what pickup is it?
It's a Dimarzio PAF 36th
Sounds great!
7 years later and still D.A.M.N.
damn sharp tone! incredible!
I just love Ibanez they are the greatest guitars ever :)
What bridge pup did you get installed? It sounds fucking sick
That's a nice guitar you got there!
the first neck pick-up lick is OMG
that sounds killer
WOAH!!! sweeeeet!!! :D Awesome playing as ever :)
REVERSE HEADSTOCK! Killer as always \m/
Dammit that's just too good
Can u post a video of your general guitar setup? like action, floyd height neck specs and string height?
killer tone
yo. 1:19 was the slickest shit I've ever heard
hey Rick, did you sell it?
Nice colour and headstock
I must get an Axe FX.
What pickup did you put in the bridge position?! We must know!!
I've been trawling ebay and gumtree for weeks trying to find one of these, but no luck, they seem to be pretty rare.
dat playing!!!
Hey Rick how do you get that tone? can you share your settings? :P
I wish Rick had a signature with Ibanez😭
The neck pickup sound has a little more body to it, it sounds more fuller and fatter, but I think the bridge pickup sounds a bit better
I want a guitar with a hs setup so bad.
I'd love to get my econo picking down like this..
Rick
Can you please do a lesson on the effects that you use.
Thanks
I really liked your song - where can I buy your cd?
Now, if only he mentioned what bridge pickups it is. HA.
really want this geetar
Pretty sic. I'm jealous
sick
I have that guitar!
Hi Rick, is there any way to get your Axe FX-II presets? Thank you.
What's the difference between the RG565 and RG550? Thanks!
They are two different models. Both built and released at the same time, but the 565 is a single coil neck with a humbucker bridge, reversed headstock and maple fretboard. The 550 is H-S-H pickup config, standard headstock and rosewood fretboard.

Thanks! But I have an RG550 and has a maple fretboard too
oh sorry, my memory isn't that photographic :P I'm sure they made a 550 at some point with a rosewood fretboard, also!
@@iamrichlol is recommendable change the pickups? Dimarzio?
@@Sebastian-zt2id if my memory serves me correctly, they come standard with dimarzios. It's entirely up for which sort of tone you're chasing.
Not as cool as my 1993 Rg750 in metallic red with original C series PUs. Yes the Original PUs were made by DiMazio and voiced for the RG with extended lows and highs and cannot be improved on...They offer the perfect balance throughout the frequencies for RG guitars.
Rick what were the pickups you installed?
Good...LORD! You are too good. :-)
quiero una ibanez Rick!
What r your delay settings I love the sound
What is the neck PU here it sound amazing?
can someone tell me what's that super AWESOME major sounding arpeggio at 0:53?
Thank you!
Tat clean shred.
Neck Pickup changed as well ?
