Ibanez SZ320 or Peavey Signature HP

[marty_the_westie]

Anybody play either one of these? I've decided on these 2, just not which one. The Ibanez is about 130 cheaper which could mean new pickups if I so desired. However the Peavey is really sharp looking, and I've heard that the pickups are quite good for being stock. The only negative about the Peavey is that it is a 24 fret guitar ( which I am not used to ), and it's 25 frets on a 24 3/4 scale, so the neck pickup is pushed back. I've played both, just for not too long, so anybody with some imput, please do. Oh, by the way, I play mostly bluesly classic rock stuff, nothing too heavy, through a Fender Cyber Deluxe and a TS9 tube screamer.

im a huge believer in peavey even there cheap low end guitars have great stock pups IMO ibanez usually sounds alot better after a pup change and i use my peavey for mostly blues/classic rock and love it and if i want i can get heavy with it i have death metal guys using it when they use my pad to practice
one of my peaveys is a cheapo and ill put it up against any fender or gibson sound wise and it gets more play time than my fenders or any other guitars i own and ive owned washburn ibanez so on and so forth
