The Ibanez RG2560 is a rare gem for 2 reasons: (1) The pickup combo (2) Body wood
There are no issues pertaining to build & finish to forewarn, this is a series 2XXX Prestige selection which sits further up the elite tier so if there are indeed any issues in this aspect, the manufacturing team should shoot themselves in the foot & suffer their incompetence. The pickup combination is perhaps a reminiscence of past glory; the RG560 of the 1980s did sport an HSS pickup combo- I own one. The pickups are of the DiMarzio IBZ pedigree so expect some smooth, contemporary tones from the instrument. The ash body is an interesting inclusion & it accentuates the single coil performance more than the humbucker, which by the way, could use some bottom end reinforcements. Em... this guitar is still waiting for its list price assessment & I'd reckon it is going to exceed $2K.
