Is Ibanez's gibratler 3 as good as tone pros?

[marty_the_westie]

I'm looking at getting a guitar to tune to e flat. I played a schecter black jack at guitar center the other day. It was very nice and would not need any upgrades except for maybe locking tuners. But I also like the Ibanez sz320. That's priced 150 less which would cover the cost of the new pups. Does anybody know how the bridge on the 320 compares to a tone pros? Other than that they are very similar, with the schecter being just a hair longer in scale length. Which one is a better choice?

Just got a 2005 SZ320 and love it. This year they are coming with new duncan designed pickups which are basicly JB Jazz korean wound copies. The bridge pickup sounds very nice. The Gibralter seems to me to be superior to the tuno o matic because they have removed and areas of stress to the strings on the bridge. Hope this helped you.

I own a sz520 and love it - i wonder if the quality of metal used in the gibralter is as good as a tone pros - it's not like you can buy an upgrade for a gibralter... but I love it - I have a CC/A2P and it rules! =)
