Re: New guitar: Ibanez SZ520, I'm impressed.
yeah, Schechter, Washburn and Ibanez use a similar design. i tried the Washburn and the Ibby, and Ibby won for overall feel. i opted for the all-mahogany (no maple top) SZ320 with an oil finish because it sounded warmer and kinda ballsier than the 520. it is one helluva guitar (not just for the money, but per se). perfect setup, finish and playability. love it.
