Good Points
Nice looking, screams and cries!
Bad Points
Some poor craftsmanship and mysterious buzzing from the neck pick-up.
General Comments
Ibanez SZ520QM: I'm Vinnyguitarman I've been playing and performing for over 30 years and I love to share my thoughts and experiences with guitars. Hot looking guitar, wide neck good for metal and string bending. Soaring, screaming leads come out of this guitar ...but it also lets out some strange buzzes and other mysterious noises that seem to come from the neck pick up ....not only mine but two others I've played seem to be the same. The price is very good and if you can't afford the LesPaul or you don't want to go the Epiphone route and if Fender isn't for you ..this is a good guitar at a good price. The craftsmanship looks a little suspect (the knobs and switches are tinny) but all in all its pretty good.
