very nice
Sound
This guitar has a great quality sound. i can play some pretty good sounding blues but it could have more gain in it for rock.
Features
i love the features in the tuning pegs. they look great and also the bridge on this guitar is stunning. the set in neck is very slick and it is very easy to move around the neck.
Ease of Use
pretty much self explanitory on how to use it..if you know how to use a guitar
Quality
very very durable... mine has been knocked over many times with very few scrathes that are hard to see. i have also knocked one small dent in the backside and still holds up great
Value
value is amazing. i bought this for 313$ and i believe it to be the best guitar for this price range
Manufacturer Support
dont plan on dealing with the company since there have been no problems with this guitar yet
The Wow Factor
very sleek. the bridge neck and paint on it is stunning

"The best guitar you will ever play "
Over all I can live with the tuning key and the screw because the playability and the tone make up for at least that much 10 out of 10!
Sound
Better then the 5 grand gibsons at my local shop! Pick-ups are HOT.
Features
SET IN NECK SET IN NECK SET IN NECK! The bridge is the coolest looking set in bridge on the market. Three way switch connecter with 1 knob for each pickup and a tone knob makes room for incredible effects by turning down one pickup and switching between the 2 on the switch.. try it sometime ;)!
Ease of Use
There is no comparison, hands down the smoothest guitar ive ever played. I adore my guitar and take great care of it, i have played on it for well around 3 years with no problems!
Quality
The only problem ive had was a broken tuning key and the chrome wore off on one of the screws on my bridge but other than that a quality instrument!
Value
VERY CHEAP! When my freinds ask how much i paid their mouths drop.

"Puts any schecter... or any other solid body guitar in its price range to shame. (The comparison to schecter is based on its si"
I am selling my G&L solid and keeping my G&L tele. I don't need another solid body.
Sound
Very versatile instrument. Lead for rock style is very good but not great... could use a little extra gain for the metal head. Very good for R&B/fusion/Pop. A decent blues instrument... not a true blues man's choice. Can sound close enough to a Les paul when using the neck pickup. Warm enough to get through a jazz gig (not bad at all for a solid body). Highly ranked for sheer the versatility.
Features
Fantastic for the money. Beautiful bridge and headstock Ibanez logo. Well made instrument. Plays far better then my two G&L solid bodies that I paid over a thousand for. I could concieve of someone being interested if the price was 300 dollars more.
Quality
It is very well made however, its more expensive cousin (SZ520QM
) is cheap looking due to the poorly done maple top. The SZ520QM is really the same guitar with an increased price. Stick with the sz320and you won't regret your purchase. Tuning pegs are extremely nice for the price. Very chic looking guitar that stays in tune and uses the "KISS" technique for design concept. (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Value
Puts any schecter... or any other solid body guitar in its price range to shame. (The comparison to schecter is based on its similar look of the C-1 series) Lol - and compare the price for less of a guitar... pity for those who bought it when it became expensive. I'd look long and hard to find a better instrument in the price range. ibanez seems to be doing this for hollow bodies as well. Today, no one can touch them in bang for buck.
Manufacturer Support
Ibanez is a good responsible company from what I hear. I never dealt with them personally.

Beautiful black with silver hardware. It's dressed to kill.

"Sweet guitar!!"
If i had $3000 for a les paul custom i would go for it. But this will do just great. For people who just want a good guitar that can pump out some hardcore tunes, then this is the guitar for you.
Sound
It sounds great, and plays well.
Features
The string through body deal is great, adds some nice intonation. The tuning heads suck though, they really can't stay in tune very well. Everything else is good.
Quality
It's pretty well made. I have the feeling that if I were to drop it, it wouldn't get banged up at all. I would say the perfect guitar for the road. It's built like a tank.
Value
It really is the best guitar for the money all around. It's a better buy then a schecter or LTD in the same price range.
Manufacturer Support
haven't dealt with Ibanez yet.
The Wow Factor
It's very smooth looking, very pretty. I love the binding and the glossy finnish.

"ZzzzzzzBEST!!"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Overall, I have to look at everything it offers for the price in comparison to the competition. I can't find anything else that comes close, so it gets a 10.
Sound
Great Sound and versatile with the double humbuckers, individual volume controls, and tone control. Great Pick-Ups.
Features
The design was kept simple, but the result is an excellent guitar that stays in tune and plays well.
Quality
I was impressed when I received the guitar. Superb quality and detail. Excellent. Much better than anything else I owned.
Value
Compared to all other guitars I looked at, I can't find the same quality and sound for the price. Ibanez did a great job on this guitar.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to use support because I can't find any reason to use them. It's like the old Maytag repair guy commercials.
The Wow Factor
Given the quality and sound alone was reason enough to purchase it. On top of that, it was a great price. Then add a great looking design and feel and you can't ask for anything more. I'm sold on the SZ320.

Ibanez SZ320 Customer Review
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I like it, but eventually i will buy something better, its better than a fender though, plz, dont buy fender unless you want a twang factory with frets. Definately a giggable guitar.
Sound
Pretty good, gota little bit of a fret buzz problem with the low E string, but its not very noticeable. Set it up and it shud be fine. Sounds nice though, 3 pickup selections, all with individual sounds. I personally like the treble pickup.
Features
Doesnt really have tone knobs, just volume knobs. I dont care, my line 6 will take care of all the tonal variety i need anyways. Seems to be good construction, plays pretty well, and i relle like the nice screamability.
Quality
Finish looks beautiful, plays beautiful, havent had a quality problem yet. Not worrying anything will break, everything seems beautiful. I havent dropped it but its built solid so i wouldnt worry if i did.
Value
For the price, pick it up, good value. YOu would want something better definately if you had the money, but this is a great guitar for not a lot of money, so pick it up already!
Manufacturer Support
haha i lost my reciept, so no warrenty for me. But i haven't had any significant problems, so whatever.
The Wow Factor
Hey its not a les paul, everyone wants them, but still a beautiful instrument, and im not a big fan of the les pauls anyways. Too heavy, this is a bit heavier than an Ibanez S but its got a fatter richer tone. I wanted it enough to buy it, so hey.

"superb"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
of course its no prs mccarty or les paul, but its pretty damn good for a musician that cant afford very expensive equipment or that just needs a gigging guitar
Sound
killer tone...sounds pretty good even coming out of my 15 watt squire amp. treble pick up sounds very clean with distortion and bass pick up sounds beautiful on clean.
Features
the tuning slips occasionally, but nothing too frequent or major. the string through body adds a lot of sustain to the guitar.
Ease of Use
its a guitar...if u no how to play it then its easy to use. as far as action goes, it was pretty fast right out of the box, but i lowered the bridge slightly and now it plays very fast.
Quality
ive dropped it a few times and theres not a scratch on it
Value
in my opinion this guitar is the best you can get for the price. it plays like a 6 or 7 hundred dollar guitar but only costs $430. great value
Manufacturer Support
havent needed any service and i dont plan to need any.
The Wow Factor
i bought it....so i really did want it
