My bad, I'm thinking about the 25th Anniversary RG3XXV that came out in 2012. Those weren't MIJ though.. I had the blue one..

Those were nice, a friend had one and if I remember well, they were affordable. Something I like about the new Genesis is the fact that they have the Edge bridge which is probably the best in the business.

Agreed. Can't beat an Edge.
 
It feels really bizarre to not offer these with maple boards and with non-matching inlays. I found a leak about the RG565 reissue and I put money aside, ready to buy. I hated the RG465 and I was hoping to get a brand new RG565. I hate when rosewood gets dry and chalky feeling.

Maybe one day they'll do a maple board. This looks infinitely better. (Even with black hardware).

That's a 565 body with a 770 neck.

I'm aware. And the RG565 reissue is a RG565 body with an RG770R neck, non matching inlays and a rosewood board. It's as odd as the one I posted and it's not a reissue. It's just a weird model they cooked together.

The 565 with 770 neck came from the factory like that? Custom build for sure if it did.

I have 5 565's. The emerald green, blue,red,black and the florescent orange one.

They play like butter!!!!

These absolutely need maple boards with matching inlays, it is a must!!!!

I really like the FRM. They had a purple one in a local store but the neck is huge on these. Wasn't easy to play for me. You need Paul's magic fingers.

I've had a couple. They have a Les Paul like neck on them
