MGR/Curto « Ibanez SZ520 »
Published on 11/11/03 at 15:00I bought this guitar new at Cleveland Music (Cleveland, TN) for around 450-500ish, I don't remember EXACTLY how much, but I know it retails for 599.
I like pretty much everything about it. the pickups sound just like an ibanez should...you get a big fat clean sound, and when you turn on the distortion it rips! It's an extremely pretty guitar, it comes in two colors: Gold Amber Burst, and Blueish burst. I got the gold one, but they are both pretty. The fireball at the 12th fret is cool also.
The one thing I can say that I don't like about it is that there are no dots on the frets, and it takes a little bit of time to get used to it, and in dimly lit areas it's kind of hard to see what you're doing. Other than that it's a great guitar!
The quality is great, everything on this guitar is pretty rugged. I've had it for probably around 3-4 months now and it's my main axe now.
Overall, it's a great guitar...awesome sounding for hard rock music. The only downfall is the lack of fret dots.
