- 22 boxes
- Bridge Classical / the strings go through the table
- 2 volumes (1 for each humbucker) and a tone
- Neck-off (type SG)
UTILIZATION
The handle is extremely comfortable to play. Very smooth enough, it inevitably attracted.
Access to acute one is very suitable for 22 boxes. The base of the handle is thick enough, however, access may displease some. For me, it gives an impression of strength that I love.
I think the race will surprise fans of Ibanez with its unusually wide (I think), but for those who love the sleeves type SG (gibson) is the foot. It is reinforced in the head by an extra thickness of wood, allowing it to withstand chutte unfortunate. So this is a rather tough race, so quite heavy, but again, it's a matter of habit, and especially taste.
Properly adjusted, it is the delight of a guitarist like me (about 8 years of play), compared to the modest price of the guitar. The sound is clean, it does not frieze, we do what we want!
SOUNDS
Overall, the microphones that have guiatre potato! Without hesitation, it is for metalheads. For about 600 euros, I would not have anything for this style of music.
Personally I use a Rectifier to get sound but very powerful and very homogeneous at a time. Despite strong saturation, we understand always what happens. The microphones of the bridge sounds "aggressive", but I think it is better to change it by an EMG to make the most of this guitar. The neck pickup is quite to my taste: its clear he delivers a very hot, at the limit of saturation. This is perfect for a Blues edged a little. The combination of the two microphones is very nice, it feels to play with a single coil ... will understand.
In general, the sound of this guitar is really interesting to make "bold".
Another feature seductive: this guitar is quite heavy, thick, and the strings are secured to the table. This gives a good sustain, and enjoy the vibrations of the strings of the guitar body. The notes are long and powerful. Like it!
I give a 7 because we should not kid ourselves, there are better, but so much more! For metalheads, add an EMG at the bridge and its going to 9 / 10 for a guitar of this price!
OVERALL OPINION
I just bought this model (there are few out!). I wanted an alternative to my old SG, without changing the handle and comfort of play
This guitar please! Apart from its handle (top!) and big sound (good to see very good for metalcore), it is very beautiful (available in Black / Caramel / Blue). The model has received a Blue pearl inlay in the shape of the flame on three central squares. The table is curved (as for GR), and finishing simple, but fun to watch. In addition, it is a model very robust and cleverly reinforced the top of the handle.
In short, the Ibanez guitar SZ520QM is a very well made for its reasonable price (I want to call it "the poor man's PRS "!!!). Try to adopt it, only if you like heavy artillery!
