i have an ibanez s520 i got it in 2001 it was built in 2001 too, its slightly different from the newer ones but it has one of the best lead tones ive ever heard and the fastest neck ive ever played, it also has the original edge bridge. After i bought my SG it was lyin around slightly neglected, but recently i got it back in action and its priceless to me now! i swear if u find a 2001 S 520 buy it its worth it! i even heard that people are selling them for a higher price than the seller paid.
Would someone know why is that this guitar is being made in thailand instead of japan? Also, is it worth $750 Ibanez Hard Case include it?... any comment is appreciated. Thx.
Only thing I have run into is weak trem arm sockets.I have broken two of them in a year.The nut on the back of it keeps coming loose allowing too much play and too much stress on the socket.One remedy for this is of coarse make sure it's always tight.Or an easier way is to run the original nut all the way down and tighten it then either put some thread lock on before you put the nut on or put a second nut on it and tighten it up too.
Im thinking of getting this guitar or the ibanez s320. but dont know which. help please? i definatly know that the 520 has better quality than the s320 but wat else?
i have one too.. DEF recommend it to anybody looking for a good value guitar with excellent clarity and tone.. you can check my friends shredding away at mine in my videos..
THATS TONE BABY!
LISTEN UP ALL YOU PUNKS. THIS IS WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR IN YOUR TONE.

Have you tried using plumbers tape around those treads? I imagine that should cure that loose nut from coming undone again.

I didn't think of the plumber's tape.I think I've got some in the basement,I'll try it tonight.
