Value For Money :
Excellent
Me that I'm talking about is the one in the picture, the Ibanez S520EX, made in Korea I took the color is gray metallic. It cost me about 640th Thomann.de
22 frets.
Two humbucker Ibanez (INF1 and INF2).
Acastillage black.
ZR tremolo (Zero Resistance) Ibanez home with the Zero Point system (you can disable it for a fully floating tremolo).
Mahogany body, Ebony is the key I think.
White Binding on the neck.
Bolt.
A tone knob and volume knob.
3 switch positions.
And special overlay EX series!
I would have put more if the microphones had been and split. But when you see its mouth, it is clear that it is not intended to sound clear. And it is not really made for versatility.
UTILIZATION
The handle, I would say it is perfect.
Access to treble is very good, but for example if I try to put the index on the box 20 and the little finger on right now is 22 harder ...
I find it light enough, it can be held in one hand by the handle without any problems.
Comfort is very good, and the guitar is very thin.
SOUNDS
It suits me perfectly, rather I play metal and heavy rock, industrial.
I play a Peavey Rage 158 Transtube and that makes it less there. I can not really enjoy the sound ...
I find the clean clear sound without more ...
The pickups lack of punch frankly, but I still notice the difference with my Powersound Cort X-2.
But I imagine a good amp, and with better pickups (EMG may or DiMarzio), and there it is likely to be great!
I think with the best microphones mounted in note 9 to perhaps pasmoins anyway.
So yeah sustain is not great, but it's a floyd so I expected ...
For that, it would be better to take an AX or SZ (through-string).
OVERALL OPINION
I have been using ... uh ... in two days it'll be one month ....
What I like most ... its look and probably sound when the equipment around will be better (I have an amp rotten, I'm going to change that may invest in a Hughes and Kettner Matrix or a small all-tube combo).
I tried a number of other guitars before: Cort X-2, Storm Stratocaster Rougeou way we see the wood through, SG Storm zero shit, Epiphone G-400 (super, really), Ibanez S470, Ibanez S470 Ergodyne (with EMG pickups Ibanez by which I was not impressed at all), a JM Forest, a Jim Harley, an LP Storm.
In the lot that I liked are the S and G-400. The G-400 is half the price, but Floyd does not (it is a SG, so naturally ...) and has a very good sustain. As against the finishes are so good.
I dragged a Cort X-2, which goes out of tune all the time during a year and a half. But my savior is here! I do it again this choice, very good value for money. This is my main guitar, I think I will invest again in a Ibanez AX or SZ for the down and Dropped D Tunings, I can not do because of the vibrato of the S ...
