" Joe's tenth guitar is by far his best yet!!!"

Feature:
I was totally satisfied with my guitar upon purchasing it. I was a little let down that for the $650.00 I paid for it (on sale) that I then had to pay another $100.00 for the case. But it was well worth it. It didn't take me long to see how awesome it was. The holes going straight through the body make for quick and easy string changes and the action on the neck is wicked! The only downfall to this marvelous guitar is that it gets a little heavy during long sets. Otherwise it is incredible!!!

Quality:
I have only owned this guitar for about six months, but I can tell that it is very sturdy and road worthy. I don't have to travel very far to play, But the case I purchased was made exclusively for this guitar, and keeps it safe from any damage. I have honestly never seen a guitar so well made in my life. I am actually looking into purchasing another Ibanez very similar to this one other than it is a semi-hollow body. I think I have been bitten by the Ibanez bug!

Value:
I have to honestly say that I got a great deal. I would have, and actually expected to, pay more than I did for this grade of instrument. I went into the store with the option to buy any guitar that I wanted, regardless of the price, and came out with what I still feel was the best guitar I could have purchased!

Desirability:
This is by far the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. I have seen many guitars in my life, but the mother of pearl inlay around the entire body as well as around the head make it stunning. Not to mention the tribal flame inlays on every other fret. I couldn't imagine anything else that could have been added to this masterpeice!

Sound:
I owned nine guitars before purchasing this one. I must admit that this was my first Ibanez. That being said, I have to tell everyone how amazed I was at the sound quality as well as the playability of this beautiful instrument. I don't normally go out of my way to brag about anything, but I have told everyone that I know how great this guitar is and how they should look into purchasing one themselves.

Ease of Use:
I love how versatile this guitar is. I play a number of different genres of music from metalcore to jazz, and this Ibanez is capable of complimenting them all. I also appreciate how easy it plays. I can barley press the frets and get a crystal clear sound. I have had problems in the past with other company's guitars vibrating to much when trying to make chords. I pesonally play through a line six (spider two ) amp. The combination of the two create endless possabilities.

Support:
I am rating the company at the top based on feedback from freinds and other musicians that have dealt with Ibanez for a long time. I also am so impressed with so many of the products they make that I am sure to be one of their biggest fans for years to come.

Overall:
The only reason I am purchasing a different guitar soon, (also an Ibanez), is because I need something with the hollow body sound for the jazz I play as well as the fact that it will be less heavy. I will always play this one even if it does weigh a little more than I'd like. It is worth the sound, versatility, and compliments I get on it's looks!!!

"The Greatest Guitar You You Will Ever Own!"

Feature:
There isn't one more thing you could ask of this guitar

Quality:
One of the most beautiful guitars I've ever owned, I'll never sell or trade in this one.

Value:
I would actually expect this guitar to sell for twice what it is selling for. Although I was able to get it for about $80 cheaper than what it is selling for online.

Desirability:
Smooth and sleak like the curves of a woman.

Sound:
From blues to thrash to country this is the ultimate guitar, I love mine, the feel when you are playing is like a hot knife through butter.

Support:
Ibanez makes a good product at an affordable price.

Overall:
Like I said, I'll never sell it.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
From Our Catalog
The Ibanez SZ720FM Flame Top guitar is a descendent of the super-slim Ibanez S models, but it really is an all-new - and simpler - species. The SZ features a set-in neck, which provides greater sustain and easier upper register playing. The SZ720FM also adds incredible custom shop-style neck inlays that look incredible. The slightly thicker SZ body adds to its big, fat tone. The fast, 25.1 in. scale SZ neck on this guitar is slightly thicker than the Ibanez Wizard neck, and just as flat for accurate playability. For greater simplicity and sustain, the SZ features a fixed Gibraltar III bridge and thru-body stringing, which further augments its full tone & sustain. In addition, the SZ features a mahogany body with the outstanding Flamed Maple Top, and high output SZ ceramic humbuckers with added bass response.

SZ Series Features
Thru-body, staggered stringing compensates for different string thicknesses and provides superior tonal balance, feel, articulation and sustain.

3-piece set in neck for better upper fret access and sustain.

Quilted maple top and slightly thicker S mahogany body provide incredibly full sound with a wide range of overtones.

New Gibraltar III bridge offers fixed bridge simplicity and sustain. No sharp edges for longer string life.
