« Great feeling guitar  »

I haven't had the sz520 long, but it feels great! Very smooth and fast. I bought it used for 300 bucks. It sounds really decent. No complaints. The finish on it looks great. Especially considering it's a 2004. It's also a lot thicker and heavier than I expected. It's probably 8-9 lbs. Not your typical Ibanez stratocaster. The neck is beautiful, smooth, no sharp frets. I can't believe they discontinued this model. It's really well made, solid and smooth. Plus, they aren't that expensive. I would definitely recommend this baby.
