Back to... (3)

I'm still back to playing my Ibanez guitars, this time it's the (discontinued) Chinese SZR520. Despite being more educated, the players today still dismiss guitars by virtue of its country of manufacture- it's Chinese, it has to be bad. They compound this misery by associating one badly manufactured Chinese guitar with another despite the different brand names. I find the Chinese SZRs to be impressive. It's one of those guitars out there with the 'correct' pickups installed. 

I feel Ibanez made a mistake by discontinuing the SZ/SZR series as the manufacturer's set-neck representatives in the market. The current fort is currently flanked by the Darkstone series which have yet to make its debut here. *sigh*
